If I can ever afford one, I 'd want one with the usb port. the reason being that my sewing machine and computer will be in 2 different parts of the house and 2 different floors! I have just about decided if I win the lottery or some anonymous person leaves me a wad of money to get a Pfaff (2nd hand). It can embroider as well as do all kinds of other neat things and it is a nice as a Bernina and not near as expensive!
