Can’t find the manual, need help with Pfaff tension issue

[Ember_Tide]

Velvet's a real challenge for any machine 'cause of all the micro lint that can clog up the hook mechanism right away. Your skipped stitches are most likely caused by dust interfering with the timing between the needle and hook. I don't have the manual myself, but there's a good website with manuals for different models - manualmachine.com. Well, for Pfaff, it's better to use the official clear sewing machine oil - it's a light mineral oil. It doesn't get thicker with time, and it's okay for the inside parts. Have you cleaned the area under the needle plate? That's most likely where you will find a real felt-like accumulation of thread and lint, which really slows things down. Besides, a bent needle can cause the problem, even if it looks straight to you.
