What a great outcome. I had a 130 and sold it as I didn't bond with it. I suspect because of the cabinet it was in. Some of the Pfaff cabinets have you seated at an odd angle to the machine and I just didn't like it. I like the fact that the 30 doesn't have that nylon gear. I didn't know that. I wonder why the 130 has it and the 30 doesn't??
