Wow,
I can't believe how many 'welcomes' I've had.
We managed to try out and buy the Pfaff 1471 today and I'm reading through the pristine booklets etc. It was owned by a lovely lady who now can't see very well and it has been looked after beautifully. She gave me some bags full of useful 'bits' (poppers, zips et etc)as well and I can't wait to try it out properly. Thanks so much for your wonderful welcomes and advice. You are such a cheery lot.
Annie
