diane s Intermediate OR USA Member since 8/24/02 Posts: 3887	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/21/12 1:19 PM I have a Pfaff 213, (basic machine, made in Germany, no IDT, looks from the late 70s) that a lady gave me at a garage sale,because she said it couldn't be fixed. I wanted to double check the bobbin size, and what category feet it takes. I got it out last night, tried sewing and the lower tension was loose. My husband took the machine apart, oiled everything, and vacuumed it out, now it sews perfectly. I found a free manual online at VSM and printed it out. I don't know for sure what size bobbin it takes, the one from my 1530 was too big, so I stuck a class 15 in and it seems to be OK. ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

It sure paid off when he took the sewing machine repair classes. I have no clue about the bobbins. is this it? This is a loud video and the guy does not have a clue about the machine. I just wanted a visual is all. ------ Quilting is relaxing to me. I love to play with fabrics, patterns and colors.

I have to go to town Monday and will stop in at Montavilla see. I think I'm going to take it to work. I have to do some repair work once in a while, and I have to use the junkiest Kenmore on the face of the earth. This Pfaff is a Cadillac compared to it. ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.
