Model 6230- presser foot lifter won't move presser foot

Assuming that the presser foot lifter is working, this shouldn't be a fatal error. The presser foot has to be down to sew. The lifter needs to be in the down position to put the foot down.

The manual for the Pfaff Creative 7570 is available on the product page: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Machines/creative-7570 . The direct link to the manual is http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/Creative_7570-manual-EN.pdf?ext=.pdf . See page 32 (page 36 of the PDF) of the manual to see a picture of the presser foot lifter.

I hope this helps.

What kind of presser foot are you using--is it a snap-on? Do any other presser feet work on the machine?

Although the dealer may no longer sell the "original" foot for your machine, there are usually "used" presser feet available from sites like eBay. OR, you can purchase non-Pfaff presser feet that will work just as well on your machine. Just be sure to verify that the presser foot is compatible with your model (the shank style will determine whether it will work on your machine).

I am having difficulty find info on your machine, but this may be helpful if your machine has a presser foot adjustment:

If you continue to have issues, you might take it for service.

I had this problem, but ignored it, go through the advised listing on the machine's screen, under 'pressure foot lifter' and see if anything can be adjusted.

Not sure what your question is, but the following may be helpful:

You need a special foot for free motion quilting--it is slightly shorter in height than a regular presser foot, which essentially provides space between the presser foot and the needle plate to manually move the fabric. Sometimes machines came with a standard darning foot accessory. Your Pfaff dealer probably has at least one style in stock. But there are other specialty feet you can probably use, ie Big Foot, clear free motion foot, C-shaped, oval, etc. You can also purchase a shank adapter (verify it is the correct shank for your machine) and use it with a kit of snap-on presser feet so you can have a variety of presser feet for different functions.

open it up and lubricate that shaft with vaseline..or vegetable oil..work it up and down.. may be just stiff..

Sounds as if the spring for the presser bar is broken OR the presser bar is dirty and needs cleaned and oiled.
