Pfaff 130 - My mama's machine
Last night I took custody of the machine I learned to sew on. Pfaff started building the 130 in 1922.
Mama died in 1990, Dad in 2013. The machine has sat since then, My stepmother is trying to clear a lot of junk. She wasn't in a hurry, but my local quilt shop has a coupon that expires in 4 days for $20 off service, so I nabbed it. the toolkit, abut a dozen bobbins, a passel of needles and a couple items that are "junk" but precious to me.
I did NOT take the ginormous cabinet my father built - which was the only place I've ever seen the machine. Our house is tiny.
The 130 is built to fold down. Assuming that service can bring this bulletproof grand old lady back to life, I'm going to need to mount her on or in something. Has anybody ever done this with a 130 or similar machine?
