About 10 years ago I picked up this #Pfaff 230 from an antique store in Utah on a road trip. It sat in the back of my closet until recently. It was seized up pretty bad but I was able to coax it into working today! I used a heat gun to soften up the gunk, then cleaned and applied new machine oil where I could.
It's a good thing this is a forgiving machine. I really don't know what I'm doing!
Now to learn how to #sew!
