How to Slot Thread Your Pfaff 1221 Sewing Machine
Because Pfaff 1221 is made up too many slots, you must learn to wind your thread on your own. Here's a good way to make it a little bit faster for you.
First of all, you need to lift the sewing foot. While holding lightly your spool of thread with your fingers, you slowly pull the thread coming from the spool and insert it in the slot, which is located just above the cover of your sewing equipment.
This way, you are able to add the thread on the upper thread tensions assembly, which you can find if you open the cover.
Pull the thread into the right side and insert it into the many slots that belong to the thread guide. You can then let it pass through the take-up lever.
The needle threader that you can find in Pfaff 1221 sewing machine is already automatic, so you can then leave the rest of the threading to the sewing equipment, spelling convenience and ease for you.
How to Remove the Bobbin Case
Removing the bobbin case has never been this easy. All you need is to lift the presser bar lifter, which will then automatically compel the Pfaff Stopmatic mechanism to start functioning.
This is a feature that allows the needle to be in its rightful position so you can easily remove the bobbin case, as well as lose difficulty in threading the needle.
Then, you temporarily get rid of the bed cover. Remove the latch K and pull the bobbin case out, along with the bobbin of the sewing machine. The bobbin will not drop as long as you continuously hold the latch of the bobbin case.
Releasing your fingers means dropping the bobbin out of the bobbin case. This procedure also applies with the Pfaff 1221 sewing machines, though you may have to open its free-arm cover and then swing it towards the left before you lift the latch K and remove the bobbin.
How to Wind the Bobbin
In winding the bobbin, you have to raise the spool pins and add a spool of thread in either one of them. You then have to put the bobbin in its winder disc, which you can find attach to the sewing machine with the use of a magnet.
Pass on the thread from its spool to the bobbin. By turning the thread clockwise, start winding the thread in the bobbin for a good number of times. While you're doing so, you have to make sure that some of Pfaff 1221 mechanism isn't working.
A good example is the presser bar lifter, which you can find in the back of the sewing equipment. It should be raised to its highest position. Finally, push the sewing machine's lever E against the bobbin.
