Does a manual exist for a Pfaff 1229 sewing machine?

Hello, Sandie -

You will find several images of how to thread your Pfaff Synchrotronic 1229 sewing machine in the instruction book for the machine, starting on Pages 6 - 9 (PDF images #10 - 13) of the manual (PDF format) here:
http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/Synchrotronic_1229-manual-EN.PDF
Since it is a PDF document, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader software (free), to download and save the document on your computer, and open and refer to it later.

Note: When you save the PDF document to your computer, be sure to give the file a name you can find again easily . . . something like: Pfaff Synchrotronic 1229 Manual.

Best wishes.

This may require that you contact Pfaff to ask if one is available or if they can recommend a solution.

Owner's manual online at thieir site does not show foot control repair.

You need to check your owner's manual. Most machines of similar age do not have the blanket stitch.

if you have a manual to see where the feed dog lever is, to see if it's
in the up position, if not have the machine checked to see if the
feed dogs need to be adjusted

1229 or majority of PFAFF's needs to be oiled in the bobbin cage and nowhere else.If you start oling the gears lint will build up and slow your machine down. So only apply a few drops where where the bobbin is attached to.

Have a certified repairman look at the power board in the machine. The power supply circuits are broken on the board itself. Can be repaired with wire and solder. How do I know? Just fixed my wifes 1229 that had the same problem.

P.S. New boards are NOT available from PFAFF or anyone else
