By the way, I love my Pfaff and think it is great. If you get something that emboiders make sure the software is still supported and is compatible with the newer computer operating systems (O/S) like Vista and Windows 7. A lot of places are selling machines very cheaply right now because the new O/S have made the software for those machines obsolete and you can't run it on computers with updated software. It is an easy trap and some dealers won't talk about it unless you pin them down.
