I am looking for information about the Pfaff Creative Vision. I am wondering if parts and software updates are still available for this machine. If you own a Pfaff Creative Vision, do you like it? Any look-out-fors on this model.

Any info is very much appreciated. I am looking at a used machine but I need more information before I pull the trigger.

I have owned a Pfaff machine for over 25 years. They have been the best machines for me. The IDT is great! I love the quality of these machines. I started with a 6085 and my daughter is still using it. I have traded up several times. I now have an ICON and I am still discovering what this machine will do. I am a happy Pfaff girl!

I think there are different models of the Creative Vision. Before buying a computerized machine, I would call a dealer and ask those questions, can I still get parts? Especially the computerized parts. The manufacturers stop making them after a while and they can be very hard or impossible to find. If the answer is no...doesn't mean you should not get the machine. But it would be a price drop for me and I would get it with the understanding that it could fail tomorrow. Now some old computerized machines are still running. My Viking D1 recently decided to fail, no parts available she was around 20 years old. That is pretty old for a computer.

Thanks so much for the comments! I have bought used machines before and sometimes their gems but they can also be duds. I already have a Pfaff and I love it. The IDT is amazing.

Thanks again for the comments. This forum is the best!

I've had Pfaff machines since the days of 7550 and 7570. Wonderful, well-made machines. I do have a Creative Icon that I don't know what I was thinking of when I traded my Creative Vision. No more trades. I had a Pfaff Quilter's Edition. It was ok and did what I wanted it to but for stitch quality, I was never impressed. Just recently traded it for a new Bernina 770. It's sad to say that Pfaff isn't what it used to be. More plastic, to include gears. Where's the metal? Pfaff used to be the biggest Bernina competitor. No longer true. I'll keep the Creative Icon for embroidery and the huge array of decorative stitches. Fortunately Bernina has an ankle available to accept snap on feet so all my feet will still be usable.
