Pfaff 467

Pfaff 467-900/2 machines are so designed that sewing and thread trimming, the two most
important phases of machine operation, are controlled by the right treadle. Varying the stroke
of the vibrating presserand reversing the direction of feed, like on machines having no automatic
thread trimmer, are controlled by
the left treadle. In this case, the top feed variation may be
controlled by depressing the tip or heel of this treadle, as desired.
The various possibilities existing are illustrated in sketch 4 below;

The above foot control is identified by subcl. -900/2 and is our standard version.
Since in many instances there is no need to vary the stroke of the vibrating presser while
sewing, the Pfaff 467, on special request, can be supplied in subcl. -900/1 fitted with a single
treadle. In this case, the stroke of the vibrating presser must be set by hand before sewing
commences and the machine switched from forward to backward sewing by operating the
reverse feed control by hand. This simplified foot control is illustrated in sketch 5.
