I have a Pfaff Tiptronic 6270 and a Coverlock serger. Good machines, but I will never purchase another Pfaff. The reason why? The difficulty in getting replacement parts for Pfaff machines. A sewing machine dealer near me switched from being a Pfaff dealer and changed to being a Babylock dealer. The reason for the switch? The fact that is takes up to 6 months to receive parts for the Pfaff machines. I can attest to that. I ordered a foot pedal,electric cord combo and it took 6 months. When my Pfaff's die, I will not be replacing them with another Pfaff. Getting parts can be a nightmare. The former Pfaff dealer would consider selling Pfaff's again if Pfaff became a stand alone company instead of being part of a holding company with Viking and Singer. I doubt if that will happen anytime soon.
