First thing - try turning the needle around. If it is in backwards (as
is common) it could be the problem. I've seen several "broken"
machines where that turned out to be the only problem.

Hi, A non-profit sailing place I frequent had an old industrial
pfaff sewing machine donated. They can't figure out how to get it to
work as the upper thread isn't catching the bobbin thread. I took a
look at it and think that the upper thread isn't getting low enough
to catch the bobbin thread. I'm not sure how to fix this. I did tell
them to check the needle, but the needles in the drawer were the
right ones for the machine.
Any advise where I can get more help? I did find that the pfaff has
a bunch of manuals up, but I didn't see a model number on the
machine (but I may have been looking at the wrong spot). And this
is an old one and I am not sure their manuals go back that far.
I'd love to get them up and running with this as then they may let
me use it from time to time ;-)
thanks, Susan in Seattle
