Jump on that!! My first Pfaff was a used one I bought15 years ago and I am still using it. The IDT (duel feed) is a wonderful feature of this machine as well as the embroidery stitches. My second Pfaff is a 2144 and I have all the upgrades. The only thing I have ever done with either of my Pfaff's is a regular cleaning and oiling for the 7550. The 2144 does not require oiling. They are the best machines I have ever worked with. I think the Pfaff is worth the price. If youare questioning it, ask if you can take it to a dealer to have it checked out before you buy. My Pfaff machines were a great investment.
