Hello everyone! Sharon, Purplefiend, don't you have a Pfaff 60? I just gave my Pfaff 60 to a lady who helps with a rescue home for girls in Mexico. She will be taking the Pfaff 60 along with a couple other machines I gave them to Mexico in February. I forgot to give them bobbins and I think, if I remember correctly, that the 60 was the only Pfaff I had that does not use Pfaff bobbins, instead it takes class 15 bobbins? I need to get a bunch of bobbins together for them! Do any of you know the answer to my question if Sharon doesn't see this! I want these girls to be able to use the machines!
Thank you
Nancy

It uses a class 15 bobbin, but the hole is larger and it also must have a little notch in the bobbin to fit on the bobbin winder or it won't work. I got them from my Pfaff dealer, they were in a batch of generic Bernina bobbins. My machine only came with 1 bobbin or I'd have never figured out why the bobbin winder wasn't working properly.

Nancy you are as hopelessly addicted as the rest of us and still not taking a pledge...

Thank you so much Sharon! I thought I remembered that the 60 was the only Pfaff I had that did not use a regular Pfaff bobbin! I thought it was that machine because I remember that it blew my mind when I had to use a class 15 bobbin on a Pfaff! Now, I can get a bunch of class 15 bobbins together and they will work on all 3 machines! I will make sure I get the bobbins with the notches for the Girls Home!

I am an avid sewer and just more recently a quilter. I have a few more modern SM but am coveting an older Singer. A Scotland made one preferably.The 66 or smaller 99 maybe. I wonder just how heavy are the larger models. Can I ( 66 year old ) carry one?. Maybe even a hand crank 201. I started sewing 50 years ago in school w/ an old Black Singer.
All suggestions welcome.
