I have a Pfaff.. it is the most wonderful machine.. I have several others as well, but the pfaff is my #1 choice. It has a wonderful thing called an IDT, which is like a walking foot that isn't in the way.. it feeds the fabric perfectly so your seams are just exactly where you want them to be.. It also raises the presser foot just slightly when you stop, so that you can either pivot if you need to or feed in another block if you're chain piecing.. It has a thread cutter that's fabulous.. no more cutting all those pesky thread tails.. I love this machine.. I don't ever want any other!!
