Oh my god! I have been around this machine for days, i must admit that i am kind of a newbie in this world, but i really needed and industrial machina that could sew leather to finish some college projects. So i bought this PFAFF machine from this guy where i often buy my leathers from and it came with a roller foot already attached and now i would really like to change it to a normal standard walking foot. And let me tell you... i even starting to feel like a clown because i have no idead on how to change, because it has this "spring" (i don't know the right word in english, sorry) that doesn't let me remove the last part of the foot. Please help me :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

See the video for further detail: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pjlj8 ... p=sharing

I have already unscrewed all the screws that were to unscrew, pls help a guy out, kinda going into despair :triumph: :cry: :sob:

Why change it? You can sew what you want with that roller foot and sometimes better.

If it were mine i would either try to find a smooth wheel, or take the one you have and grind/sand it smooth. Could also fill the grooves in with JB weld and then sand smooth. I think the wheel is an advantage if you are doing leather with that machine.
