Wanda's Pfaff 130

posted by Amber

Sixty-Five years ago, newlywed Wanda Farrer decided she needed a new sewing machine. After shopping for the best in Provo, Utah, she bought a new Pfaff 130 complete with cabinet and all.

Wanda still uses this machine today! It sews like a dream. At 83 years young, she has mended and made countless clothing items.

If you were wondering how reliable Pfaff sewing machines are, just ask Wanda! In the 65 years that she has owned this machine, the only thing that has had to be repaired or replaced is the belt!

I have a machine my grandma

I have a machine my grandma gave me just like yours. Do you think you could show me a few things on how to use it? I am in Utah too.
I was going to sell it. Until I found so many great reviews on it. I'm embarrassed I have had it in the garage. I sew on an old Kenmore and it can't keep up.. That would be a dream to sew on a great machine ..thanks
