Thank you for doing this video. I was able to fix that single piece of Thread. Hard to believe that (1) thread and a little build up grime could stop the machine from turning. It took using a lot of tools on hand like Torx and screwdriver heads with variety blade widths and blade thickness. Also used your video on a large iPad for easy viewing. Please, please do more videos! Much appreciated!

This video helped my dad fix my sewing machine! Thank you so much, Steve!

I could not get the pieces off the base to get at the last 3 tiny screws. wish you had actually shown how you did that. didn't want to mess my parts up

How do you remove the teeny screws with springs?

Thanks a lot steve, you helped me to fix my moms fav machine. I fully marked every piece with ink before taking it off, it's very easy to loose the sync of the machine, thank's for the advise. It took me so much time to figure out how to do it without breaking anything. After do it one time it's very easy and fast to fix, it would be great if you actually dissasembly and assembly it, and show how to resync in. anyways, thanks for the help very much, nobody makes videos about it except you, and when you have 0 idea this is a treasure to find out. cheers!

Thank you so much! I have hope of fixing my machine which is jammed by a thread, too!

Hello! Have you had to change the light bulb? I can't figure it out. Any help would be awesome.

Less talking and more showing would have been much better....

Thank you for a very efficient & useful presentation on solving a PFAFF bobbin seizure.

Thanks to your explanation about the three small screws with the spring and the rotating parts, I was able to service my Pfaff 1527, oiling, cleaning, replacing worn parts. She now runs like a million bucks, and she stopped tearing the thread when zig-zagging. Thank you.

Any idea why my needle keeps moving when winding the bobbin on my 1475?

I think I solve my problem, which was the inner bobbin case somehow got past the stop that kept it from spinning. However, when I went to put it back together, a little black part that fits over the screws on the left that holds the black l-shaped part in place had slipped out, and it has a hook on it, and I idn't see it before or how it fits back in. I did take pics of the bobbin setup before unscrewing, as suggested, but it doesn't show clearly enough on the pics for me to know, since I wasn't particularly looking for that part of the set up. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for this video! I recently moved to South Africa, serviced my Pfaff select 1530 before leaving. The first time I used it after moving this thread jam happened. Luckily, with the help of video, i was able to solve it within the hour! Thanks a lot!!

Thank you for this. Your instructions helped me fix the jam, and the machine sews beautifully. But it makes a lot of noise that wasn't there before. I oiled the shuttle as indicated in the manual, and it helped a little, but the machine is still way noisier than it was before. Any suggestions of what caused this and what I could try? Thank you.

Hi while im sewing pfaff 1080 the machine stops and crampsand writing on the board c3

Thank you "sew" much!! This was the help that I needed. Thank you

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I live way out in the country and very far from anywhere or anyone who could help. I have been able to do this repair twice now. Much appreciation for you help.

Thank you this is exactly what I needed.

Thank you, my Bobbin and bobbin holder got jammed badly, so I decided come heck or high waters i tried to put it back together and in doing so 2 wires that I thought help thread tension, popped out. Can you tell me how. I don’t have $250 to have it’s yearly check up. Hhheeelllpppp please if you can. Sincerely, Linda Gillespie

This was SO helpful!!! I can’t believe how much money I’ve spent sending my machine in for service for this very reason.

Thank you! You just save me I long trip to the sewing machine hospital. I only had to remove the first part of the bobbin race. It was a teeny tiny piece of lint in there.

Have you any idea why this may happen on a regular basis?

Hello. I would like to ask if there is anything I can do with the fact when I'm threading the bobbin the sewing area still engaged so it doesn't disengaged. It's supposed to stop when I'm just putting thread on the bobbin is there any idea you have what I can do to fix it thank you so much

Hi Steve, we bought this brand new pfaff passport 2.0 and had it fixed by the place where we bought it 3 times to no avail. They cannot duplicate the problem. Yet they say it is fixed. My wife can use it afterwards from 3 to 15 minutes and bam, the problem reoccurs. It's a 3 year old machine, barely used. the bobbin case moves out of place and the needle gets stuck in it. Any ideas?

You Sir, are a STAR! Simply by pointing out “this bit doesn’t move” and showing how it’s kept in place, I have fixed my Pfaff Select 4.2! The housing(shuttle thing?) for the Bobbin case had jumped out of the bit (finger?) that keeps it from turning, so, it was not sewing. The needle just kept hitting the shuttle case thing. After watching your video, I took the bottom off the machein again then undid 2 more screws, popped the bobbin shuttle thingy back in line and FIXED! You saved me a trip the the menders and a bill for unnecessary work. THANK YOU! WORDS OF WARNING… don’t over tighten the screws into the plastic because it will break the plastic ☹️. My fault 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm not sure how much it would have cost to pay someone to fix this on my 1473 CD, but your video worked like a charm. My machine is back up and running, and I know how to fix it if it happens again.

Hi Steve, thank you for posting this video. I wouldn't have had the courage otherwise to unscrew my Pfaff sewing machine. I'm so happy I was able to undo the jam!

Thanks!!! Was just tearing my hair out over new troubles on a new to me Pfaff Performance 2054: suddenly lots of thread jams AND bent or broken needles. Found my answer at timestamp 3:00. Seems the screw for the 'bobbin case position finger' loosened over time &/or some minor wear on the 'bobbin case base' where the two meet. Already back to sewing after adjusting the position finger to fit more tightly against the case base.

Thank you. Appreciate your suggestions on how to do this without paying someone $100. Hope I get it back together properly.

My Pfaff seems to take a special screwdriver to get bottom screws out, 6 stars?

Well, I have had Pfaff Select for 1 year and a thread got jammed already 4 x. Each time to go to the service. Each time to drive, wait, pay, drive. I hate the machine and will buy another one, which has those two little things that hold the whole mechanism together and one can easily and completely remove all parts, clean it and put it back. What a terrible engineering design. Service people told me that the reason for the jam is my wrongdoing when threading the upper thread. Nonsense. X-time I watched youtube video to make sure to do it right. Anyone with same experiences? Or am I a total idiot who does not know how to use a sewing machine (after 40 years of sewing and after having had Veritas, Brothers and Toyota machines with no problems)?????? Would be thankful for your opinion.

Thank you! Just got the tip of a needle out - had to go to 4 minutes to take it apart enough, but I got it. Super helpful.

Thank you for posting this video! You saved me a lot of heartache!

On my pFAff2020 the needle broke and when I replaced it the needle now is hitting the bobbin case and not picking the thread up. Need help to fix the problem!

Hi, do you have a video where’s i can learn how to change the belt of that same machine? I have a 1475CD and the high humidity of where i live, just make it dust. Please help !

Thanks Steve. This was exactly my problem. Fortunately I was able to cycle the bobbin and the thread came out on it's own, but your vid showed me where to look.

My rotation knob will not lock while winding the bobbin, on my Pfaff 1473? How can I fix the problem? Thanks for your tutorials.

I got the screws out. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I cannot remove 3/4 really tiny screws with springs you mention to remove the gibb ( I think that is what it is called) HELP!

I was able to get the thread jam fixed but am having trouble getting the hook shuttle put back properly to catch the thread and the needle not hit it.

Actually, Steve, this was sufficient to fix my jammed bobbin hook shuttle with the following additional step: Remove the 2 set screws holding the whole shuttle assembly to the drive shaft, then remove the assembly for easy access to the small spring/screws holding the assembly together. My problem thread jam was solved, and the assembly was cleaned, lubed, and re-assembled. You saved me time and money by not having to take it to a shop which was closed anyway for the coronavirus. I'm very grateful for your video. Thank you so much.

Useful information, but could have been so much better if you showed actually removing the screws/pieces instead of just describing it. Picture worth a 1000 and all that.

thank you so much for this video, it helped me to fix my girlfriends sewing machine

Thanks so much. You really helped me in my time of despair. :)

Thank you Pete! Good information! The screws are really tiny so anything you can do to keep from losing them is good.

Nice video. For anyone who needs to know, the gap between the position bracket and the bobbin case holder (hook basket) shown at 3:37 should be 0.7mm, which is just enough so they don't actually touch. Also, when removing the three tiny screws with springs, I find it best to put a bit of masking tape over them so if they do fall out, they will stick to the tape rather than fall on the floor or go flying across the room. It's easier to remove the entire hook unit, but then you have to redo the timing.
