Операции
Количество операции швейной машины Pfaff Hobby 1142 — 24 шт. Но видов строчек меньше — всего 23 шт.
Универсальный сектор
- A. Петля автомат
- B/C. Прямая строчка
- C/D. Зигзаг
- E. Пунктирный зиг-заг
- F. Потайная эластичная строчка
- G/H. Потайная строчка
- J. Эластичная шаговая строчка
- M/N/O/P. Декоративно-отделочные строчки
Эластичный сектор S.S.
- B/C. Эластичная тройная прямая строчка
- D. Усиленный зигзаг
- E. Строчка соты
- F/G/H/J Оверлочная строчка
- M/N/O/P. Декоративно-отделочные строчки
Pfaff Hobby 1142 имеет все возможные регуляторы и настройки в данном классе швейных машин.
Регулируется
- длина стежка
- ширина строчки
- натяжение нити
- давление лапки на ткань
Единственным ограничением будет ширина строчки 5 мм, вместо желаемых 7 мм. Этот факт говорит о том, что петлю, хотя она и выполняется за один прием (автоматически), нет возможности отрегулировать по ширине!
За то есть авто-сброс для петли (на регуляторе операций «загнутая по полам стрелочка»).
Комплектация
В стандартную комплектацию входят все самые необходимые лапки и аксессуары, которые могут понадобится на первое время.
В стандартную комплектацию входят
- Лапка универсальная (установлена изначально)
- Лапка для декоративных строчек
- Лапка оверлочная
- Лапка для вшивания молнии
- Лапка для потайной строчки
- Лапка для выметывания петли
- Направитель для параллельных строчек
- Катушкодержатель большой
- Катушкодержатель маленький
- Фетровая прокладка 2 шт
- Щеточка для чистки
- Вспариватель
- Стержень для второй катушки
- Отвертка
- Шпульки 4 шт
- Набор игл универсальных 5 шт
- Чехол жесткий пластик
- Педаль
- Инструкция на русском языке
Для плотных тканей рекомендую приобрести иглы для джинса и кожи, а для эластичных — иглы стрейч или джерси.
Сейчас достаточно много производителей игл, но я отдаю предпочтение Organ и Schmetz.
Если будет необходимость работать с эластичными тканями, то лапка для трикотажа или верхний транспортер будет просто необходим.
Комплектация может отличаться в зависимости от поставок
Надежность
Стоимость и заявленный премиум класс бренда PFAFF обязывают модель hobby 1142 иметь металлический каркас, держатель лапки(адаптер) и пластиковый корпус, который превосходно изолирует нас от шума и тока.
Надежность конструкции челнока то же не вызывает подозрений. Он усилен металлическим кольцом и прочно закреплен на каркасе.
Но при внимательном осмотре можно обнаружить маленькие дефекты сборки.
Не все детали соединены ровно и встык. Зазор в 1 миллиметр был замечен возле намотки шпульки.
Возле челнока опять корпус дышит сквозь прорезь.
Может быть по этому челночная пластина то же отказалась лежать «по швам»?
А вот этот волнообразный стык на рабочей зоне мне напомнил отдых, пляж и серфинг.
Очень хотелось бы думать, что временные ошибки на производстве, которые привели к снижению качества сборки и ровности материалов корпуса испытуемой модели, были исправлены вовремя.
Нам на тест была предоставлена абсолютно новая швейная машина, упаковка не была нарушена и до обзора не вскрывалась!
Металлический каркас и мощный мотор 75 Вт утяжеляют машинку до 7,2 кг. Даже педаль швейной машины тяжелая и выглядит внушительно.
Удобство использования
Начнем описание всех удобств с регулятора давления лапки на ткань. Регулятор 3-х ступенчатый.
Диапазон давления достаточно большой, но в большей степени рассчитан на ослабление давления прижима.
На корпусе слева выступает нож для обрезки нити. Есть нитевдеватель, который заправляет нить в ручном режиме.
Нить попадает в ушко иголки после того, как пользователь накинет нить на 2 крючка нитевдевателя. Освещение рабочей зоны стандартное — лампа накаливания (двухконтактная), мощность 15 Вт. В комплектацию Pfaff Hobby 1142 входит дополнительный катушкодержатель (вертикальный). Он устанавливается в паре с основным горизонтальный катушкодержателем для шитья двойной иглой.
С обратной стороны швейной машины есть рычаг отключения нижнего транспортера, опускающий нижний транспортер ткани ниже уровня челночной пластины.
Отключение подачи ткани используется для выполнения штопки, вышивки и и т.п. операций.
Поразительно удобный футляр для аксессуаров расширяет рабочую зону до 18 см!
Откидная крышка футляра для аксессуаров позволяет помещать дополнительные принадлежности без снятия самого футляра.
Мало кто заглядывает под швейную машину. В данной конструкции мы видим, что половина швейной машины, а точнее рабочая часть, не на что не опирается.
Нажав на левую верхнюю точку машины, можно убедиться на сколько она не устойчивая. Но замечу, что на обычном шитье это не заметно из-за смещенного вправо центра тяжести.
Жесткий чехол лаконичен и плотно прилегает к корпусу машины, что экономит место для хранения.
Прошиваемость материалов
Классическая зубчатая рейка из 4 сегментов используется для современных машин с горизонтальным челноком позволяет без труда справляться со всеми видами ткани.
Видео обзор прошиваемости Pfaff Hobby 1142
Результаты проверки
- Органза в 2 сложения — Хорошо
- Джинс в 4 сложения — Хорошо
- Кожа 2 мм— Хорошо
- Трикотаж — Отлично
- Ремень 3-х слойный — Отлично
Проверка производилась на лапке универсальной и без дополнительных материалов и приспособлений.
Шум
Видимо, за счет увеличения рабочей поверхности появилось больше свободного пространства внутри швейной машины, что позволило корпусу резонировать с большей силой на нашем тесте. Результат все же не плохой — 73 Дба.
Измерения проводились в домашних условиях. Швейная машина располагалось на деревянном столе. Шумомер MS 6708 установлен на расстоянии 40 см от швейной машины. Погрешность шумомера ± 1,5 ДбА. Наше измерение не следует сравнивать с таблицами усредненный значений, т.к. измерения производилось исключительно по нашим ТУ.
