My Pfaff is old, dependable and wonderful; but it is old and by today's machines abilities - antiquated. That said, it does pretty much everything I want it to do and with the purchase of the walking foot it now does quilting. I just ordered a free motion foot for it last night, for $28, and now if I can learn how to use it I think I'm set. So for a little over $50 I have all that I think I will need to be a happy quilter. I drool over the new machines when I am at Rocky Mountain Sewing, but unless I hit the lottery it ain't going to happen. Love that so many folks do use, and like, their walking feet.
