Pfaff 130

 The beginning of production is in 1932 and the end after 1950. Back then, at the time, the Pfaff 130 was an innovative and powerful machine, a home sewing machine that had parts of an industrial Pfaff. Many today call it a semi-industrial sewing machine.  In addition to the robust construction, the Pfaff 130 was among the first home sewing machines with a zigzag stitch, which was variable in width. Another innovation is the shuttle hook (upper thread catcher) which is a rotating type. Until then, sewing machines were mostly manufactured with oscillating hooks. The drive for the rotating hook is by means of a timing belt made of special fibers with matal rings.
