I have a Pfaff 2027 that I do not like. Terrible tension problems. Horrible buttonholes. Lots of time and expense with repairs. I found a new technician, and it's slightly better. Technicians can't ever find anything really wrong with it, just constantly needs adjusting to factory specs.
I do LOVE the IDT. Not sure I want a machine without that, so I don't know what to purchase in place of the Pfaff.
