The machine looks just like my Pfaff 130, but cabinet is a little different. Mine has 2 doors, opening from the center. I don't have the cute chair though. Notice the large oval slot in the wood above the knee bar. That is so that you can insert the bobbin without tipping the machine back. It took me several practices to get that bobbin in while not being able to see anything.

Mine has a horiztonal spindle spool attachment that I don't know anything about. I put bobbins on it to keep them handy.

Speaking of bobbins -- I have only had luck with used bobbins, which are dull in color. The new shiny ones that I have purchased don't work. They fit ok, but the thread barely will pull through once inserted into the machine.

My Pfaff is named Leslie after the ND farmer who owned it before me. He bought it at a farm auction, because his wife wouldn't let him sew on her machines. He used it mainly to make denim quilts for his grandchildren and for charity.

Great machine! It is the machine that I use 90% of the time. I hope you will enjoy yours!
