I have a PFAFF 545 and it works great except that I can't use heavy thread in it. I normally use 92 bonded polyester as John recommends but when I try to use anything for top stitching it just doesn't pick up the bobbin thread correctly and will then jam.
Does anyone out there us heavy thread in a PFAFF 545.
Am I missing something obvious?
When you sew with decorative thread do you use the same thread in the bobbin or the standard bobbin thread.
Great machine but I would like to do some decorative stitching.
Thanks,
