Pfaff model 130

My mother bought the Pfaff 130 sewing machine brand new. I was born in 1958 and she was using it then sewing our clothes as well as other peoples.

I learned to sew on this machine before I started in the first grade and have been sewing on it ever since. When my mother passed away I received the machine.

I have only had to get it serviced one time from little fingers playing with the tension knobs. The gentleman told me that it was a two stage motor and the lower stage was beginning to show wear.

That was about 8 years ago. So far the Pfaff 130 is still going. I have had another brand of machine but ended up not liking it and sold it. Like the heading says.... old habits are hard to break.

Currently I am sewing leather cushion covers for a rocker. The needle cuts through the leather like butter and stitches just as smooth.
