Re: Pfaff Variamatic 1117 Sewing machine help - I need a manual--attn Ron

This has been an interesting thread to read, huffy posts notwithstanding. ;) I had no idea of how extensive this recent reorganization was, so this is good information.

I've always been a Singer fan--sometimes the only one in the room--and I'm so glad to know that they're coming right along. Having the three companies under one umbrella is probably not the ideal situation, but it if means they all still continue to exist, then I'm all for it.

First I am the one who eluded to it as "rubbish" and you in attempting to prove your point proved ours. I guess you did not read your first post stating that Elna had owned them at some point. Pure and utter rubbish.
Watch it or you will be threatened too. She did not get into the latest news either.

So far I am pleased with what Singer has done for us at Pfaff. They
seem to be more approachable than VSM ever was. Not as stiff either.
I don't get the automatic, it isn't made anymore, but do get "we'll
see if we can find it. I wonder if Singer Canada did some dumpster
diving in Toronto and salvaged the Pfaff stuff before the buckets were
picked up. They were in the warehouse office in Toronto long after
Pfaff was gone to VSM, so that is possible. Just received some feet
that were not in those stupid plastic boxes that no one wants. That
is an old Pfaff thing. I just hope that they keep us for a while. Having to get used to
new owners every couple of years is a pain........

SO did we find a manual for this lady. The only ones I have are the
French ones that always came with out machines......I have given
several of those away though, and only have a few left now.
