I need written directions on how to thread a pfaff 1471

It's not the foot, it is the 'Feed Dogs', the teeth in the base that pull the material UNDER the foot. The most likely reason is that you have lowered them too much, or set it to 'embroidery'.

You probably didn't disengage the sewing machine mechanism. Hold the hand wheel steady so that it will not move with one hand. Use your other hand to rotate the knob in the center of the hand wheel towards you. When the unit is properly disengaged, the motor can't move the needle bar. When done winding the bobbin, you need to hold the hand wheel and then turn the knob away from you. See page 9 of the manual for the Creative 1471. Pfaff has the manual on the product page: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Machines/creative-1471 . The current link to the manual is http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/creative1471-manual-EN.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Did you turn the knob inside the hand wheel backwards while holding the wheel itself? If that knob is in the correct position, did you hear it snap into place when you rotated the hand wheel towards yourself? Does the needle bar move up and down when you rotate the hand wheel?

I suspect that the needle bar is still disengaged from the motor mechanism. The manual is available from Pfaff on the creative 1471 page: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Machines/creative-1471 . The direct link to the manual is http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/creative1471-manual-EN.pdf . See page 13 of the PDF for the picture of the direction and position of the knob that should be checked.

If the machine still doesn't work, it may be that the belt is bad. This connects the shaft of the motor to the mechanism that runs the needle bar. You can find a parts list for the 1471 here: https://www.universalsewing.com/tek9.asp?pg=parts_pfaff . Scroll down to find the various 1471 diagrams. The belts are probably available at most Pfaff or other sewing machine dealers. This page, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/pfaff-1471-sewing-machine-parts.aspx , is one source. You want the motor belt.

I hope this helps.
