Do you have a "hopping" type foot? I'd put that on and then lower or cover your feed dogs.

I don't have your exact model but I think these suggestions will work on yours, as it looks similar to mine. The take up lever should be in the mezzanine level (halfway between up and down). I have a clear foot with a large opening which I use for free motion work, you could also use your darning foot. Sometimes I drop my feed dogs, try and see if that works for you. Also, be sure to set your stitch length to zero. Anything else?

Good luck!

PS.

Here is the quilt foot I use:

Rita, Never had a Pfaff so can't help. Just wanted to say how good it is to see you back here and so glad you are able to sew. Anna Belle in Palm Bay

I agree with Polly, but "encourage" him to keep up with the rest of the house!

Thing is...can't sew unless it's an emergency like today. I had to do some darning therefore the sewing. Have most everything for sale except for my Pfaff.

How would I lower the feed dogs? Haven't done free motion in years.

How to lower the feed dogs. The mezzanine comes back to mind.

Have one. All I have to do now is to fuind it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easier said than done!!!!!!!!!!!!! He really thought he was helping!!!!!!

But he does!!!!!!! He cleans, cooks since I can't do that anymore.And he's

On your 1471, open the door to get to the bobbin and you will see---to the right--- the thing to slide to lower the feet. Hope you find your Pfaff book. HTH Barbara in HOT SC

Forgot to add, just yell if you need help! Barbara and a 1471, with book

Thanks a bunch!!!!!! Hubby found my book and attachments. Now he has to find my schmetz needles. He has everything for Pfaff in one place.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 1471 has a front compartment with a lift out tray for 10 bobbins, and a place to put the feet, It lifts out and I keep a couple packs of needles under it. I have a hard time keeping up with the book! Guess I need to make a bag and hang it around my neck! Barbara

My machines have a lever or dial somewhere. Turn/push in one directions and your feed dogs are up. Turn the other, and they drop down into the machine a bit.
