Pfaff 141 Roller Feed 1964 with original receipt Originally bought the machine for the table for my 145, but after cleaning it up and finding the original receipt I thought it must be worth something to someone! It appears all parts are original, including the box, pan and lifter, thread s...

Upholstery Pro who was my friend recently passed and left me his two workhorse sewing machines. They are located in Stockbridge, GA and I'm trying to find them a good home.

Anyone have any experience with a Pfaff 6?? Not a whole lot of info online about them, but they look like a solid little machine. Wondering if it'd be good for working with leather and canvas or if it's more a light machine? It looks pretty industrial from what I see but it's not a walking foot as f...
