I have a Pfaff Creative Vision 5.5 machine.. expensive, yes it was. Do I enjoy it? oh my, YES. I have lived all my life making do, putting others first, and never even thinking about spending that kind of money on myself. My DH is the one that actually bought this machine for me.. and I've been having the time of my life. If you can afford it, go get one. Who knows if we'll ever be able to do something like this again?? Will I live long enough to really make it worthwhile? Only God knows the answer to that, none of us have even tomorrow guarenteed. If I'm gone tomorrow, my sweet daughter will have a wonderful time with it, so I have no worries or second thoughts.
