A back up for the back up

I have a Pfaff 1475CD sewing machine. I bought it in 1993 I think. Over the years I decided to buy another one as a backup. I took it with me to California when I went to my brother's house a couple years ago. He and his wife needed cushions and pillows made for their breakfast nook. I left it in CA because I need to go back to make drapes. I came across an excellent opportunity to get another 1475 at a really good price so I bought it. I had emailed the seller about how the machine would be packed.  They had a 100% rating on eBay.  The machine arrived in just a couple of days. It was packed very well!

Lots of bubble wrap and some Styrofoam packing! I got everything out of the box and was excited to plug it in. It works like it is brand new! Woohoo!

I still need to go thru the rest of the stuff it came with.

I also got my order from 123stitch. I saw the model for this chart in April when I was at Hobby House Needleworks, but they didn't have any in stock. I finally just ordered it.   I saw that 123stitch had sewing machine needles on sale and I needed some so I bought a few packs of those.

I have been cleaning my space at work so I can take my backup machine and sew at lunch. Call me crazy! LOL!! Have a great weekend!
