Hi ! does the 130 HD do zigzag?

westsailwill · 01-06-2017, 13:18

It will zig zag through 6 layers of Sunbrella very easily, and up to 8 layer using the hand crank. The zig zag pattern goes from tiny up to 6 mm. There is nothing on the boat that the Pfaff couldn't handle. From sails to leather. These machines have an incredible reputation.

Cheers,
Will

I was looking them up online and could not find the specs, do they have a walking foot or not?

westsailwill · 01-06-2017, 14:01

Both machines are identical in features and capabilities with the exception that the 130-6 has the awesome embroidery attachment that is pretty incredible for such a heavy duty machine, and the 130 has the monster wheel and hand crank for going through multiple layers of heavy fabrics. The heavy spoked "monster" wheel and hand crank can be purchased for the embroidery 106-6 machine from Zeus Machines online. They specialize in restoration and sales of these classics.I have posted some pics of the two machines. Check out the overall condition of them. They are really in beautiful shape. No sailor would be disappointed with either one. I can post more photos on request. Do a close-up on the blue sewing sample to see the embroidery and zig zag stitching through 4 layer of Sunbrella.

Cheers,
Will

Hi,
I'm interested in the non-embroidery version: the 130HD. I will need to have it shipped. How do you want to arrange this?
Thanks,
GD

You would send me a Private Message with your email address and shipping information. I would determine the shipping costs. I would then email that information to you. If those costs are agreeable to you, I would then email you a Paypal invoice. As soon as I receive conformation of payment from Paypal, I would immediately ship the machine to you. This whole process usually take no more than 24 hours.

It does not have a walking foot, but for almost all application you don't really need it. A roller foot is an inexpensive option (ebay $10) that works really well. You can also play around adjusting the feed dogs depending on what fabric you are sewing.

Just out of curiosity, could you get a shipping price to zip code 17225 on the other machine please?

Keith thanks for the interest. Shipping to 17225 would be approximately $50.

FYI. The "embroidery attachment " (#50010) on the 130-6 machine is no frilly toy. It is a beefy, industrial quality piece of equipment. It is fully mechanical, with no electronics whatsoever. The designs, (it does at least 54 of them) are not cutesy at all. They are big, bold, and sharp and they are really cool! You would be amazed how you can incorporate these designs into your projects. I have sewn these design easily through four layers of Sunbrella.
You can also use the 130-6 without ever using this function. It sews EXACTLY the same as the 130 model. (It will sew up to a 6mm zig zag)They are identical in every respect except that the 130-6 has the attachment.
If you plan on using the machine for sewing multiple layers of heavy fabrics on a regular basic, I would recommend purchasing the heavy spoked "monster" wheel from Zeus Machines. It will just give it that much more power. And with the spoked wheel you can also use a hand crank attachment. Zeus Machines also sell these. This machine has also been upgraded to the very powerful 1.5 amp motor.

These are great machines that will last for many, many years, as long as you keep them well oiled and don't abuse them.

Cheers,
Will
