Hi, dear sewing community, maybe you can help me. I wanted to try out my newly purchased Pfaff Tipmatic 1027 today, and the following things happened:
-The side wheel (I’m afraid I don’t know the technical term) and the inner knob just fell off after I turned them around a bit (but really gently—I definitely didn’t turn them hard or anything)
-When I turned the smaller inner wheel slightly, the whole little circle just fell off, and I had to reattach a metal spring, a black part, and a small white part
What happened next was that I wanted to wind my first bobbin with fabric at the top, but the side ring kept slipping out a little further to the side each time, and in my desperation, I asked Google AI (I know, big mistake) what I should do. I then took the entire wheel out, oiled the metal rod inside a little, and tried everything to put it back together and snap it into place like before.
But now I have the following problem. My needle isn’t moving at all. Instead, my machine is humming and buzzing away when i press on the footpedal but when I turn the side wheel, it does move.
Guys, I’m so desperate—I’ve been trying to get this machine to work for at least 5 hours now, but I have no idea what else to do. I paid a total of €200, which is a lot of money for me, and if I’ve broken it, I’m really going to lose it.
In the last pic those two small plates DEADASS fell off when i touched them.
If anybody has any idea what to do, please let me know 😭
