Winding the Bobbin Hold balance wheel a and turn stop motion knob b all the way to the left (counter-clockwise). Place spool of thread on right-hand spool pin. The bobbin thread should always be the same size as that used on the spool, or a little finer.

Important Facts about Needles On Pfaff 362 sewing machines, System 130R, flafshank needles are used for all ordinary sewing and embroidery work. The needle system is stamped an the needle plate. Genuine Pfaff needles, System 130R, are available from every Pfaff dealer.

Operating the Needle Threader Operate the Stopmatic lever to lift the needle to its raised position (which has been reached when the ascending take-up lever is about /3z below the top of its stroke, as illustrated on page 5).
When you have had sufficient needle threading practice, you may shorten the procedure as follows: Push needle threader control down. Place thread behind hook of prong w so that its end is about ‘/2 inch to the right of the prong. Slowly re lease control.
Correct Tension Regulation Balanced tensions are essential for sewing. If your tension is correct, you will have perfect seams as sketched below (Ill). Sketch I — The threads interlock on the underside of the fabric. Cause: Upper tension too loose or lower tension too tight.
Regulating the Thread Tension The bobbin thread tension rarely needs adjusting, except for embroidery when ii should be a little tighter than for ordinary sewing. Adjustment is made by a small knurled screw on the bobbin case which can be turned with the thumb tip.
Stitch Length Regulation ‘4 Turn dial G until the number indicating the desired stitch length is opposite the mark on the dial housing (see straight arrow). Or sew a few stitches and regulate stitch length as required. To facilitate satin stitching, the 0—1 range on the scale is just as large as the 1—4 section.
I Dropping the Machine Feed The machine feed is dropped for darning wfh the aid of thevibrator, for hoop embroidery and button sewing. To lower feed below the needle plate, turn drop feed control clockwise.
Changing the Sewing Foot Attach darning foot No. 53670, as instructed above. Drop machine feed and lower presser bar lifter. As the machine sews, the vibrator moves presser bar and darning foot up and down. The fabric is thus held down when it is entered by the needle, and con be moved freely when the needle has risen clear again.
R 8143 Care and Maintenance Longevity and smooth machine performance are dependent on regular and proper cleaning and oiling. Use Pfaff sewing machine oil only. Never lubricate machine with animal or vegetable oils. Remove all lint before oiling. All moving and rotating parts require regular lubrication.
The oiling points in the machine arm con be reached easily by removing the top cover. Oil should be applied sparingly. Excessive quantities of oil may soil the work and cause machine sluggishness. One or two drops of oil usually will suffice. Before you remove the top cover, set lever E between 5 and 7.
Regular Machine Care Accumulations of lint packed between the tooth rows of the feed cause noisy operation of the machine. Therefore, from time to time, removethe needle plate and clean the feed with a toothpick or similar wooden oblect. The needle plate is held in place by a press stud and can be removed without a screwdriver.
Sewhght Facts The 15-waif sewlight is recessed under the machine arm and can be swung out by pulling down the grill. To change the light bulb: Push bulb into socket, turn left, and pull out. When inserting new Pfaff light bulb, be sure to slide bulb pins into bayonet socket slots.
