#42
Thank u. I'm going to go in a few days (got flue at the moment) to speak with the pfaff man and see if I can have a play on a few of the machines. I'm going to take some Jean hens I cut off and a small quilt sandwich x and go from there. Thank u all again

Pfaff for piecing? I've got a bernina 830 (currently in the shop being fixed! )and I find the 9mm wide feed system is not good for 1/4 piecing I also have a janome txl 607 that I keep for regular classes and I like to keep it in the bag with all its bits ready to grab, that way I know I don't forget anything essential like the power lead lol ask me how I know! . So I was looking at the pfaff 3.2 select and like the look of the dual feed and wondered if it is good for piecing? ( I have heard is good for thick fabrics like jean hems .) If not can u suggest one that is .

I would not worry about the manufacturing being moved. I also have a 30 year old Pfaff made in germany as well as my pfaff embroidery machine and performance 5 at their new manufacturing site. The new machines work as beautifully and precicely as the old one and have all kinds of modern additions. They seem to have adhered to the same standards of quality and I have no regrets on their purchase.

Thank u for the reassurance that the new pfaffs are just as good as the old ones. It's always worrying when a company either is taken over then farmed out to the back of beyond to be made. Or just farmed out because of cutting manufacturing costs. There are a few well known brands of sewing machine that has really suffered because of this.
