My first, bought used 3 yrs ago was a Pfaff 1196. Have not yet been able to find a date for it. It has some decorative stitches. I love it! What I like is that you can adjust the needle side-to-side to any degree which is great for the "scant" seam allowances. It sews wonderfully. The only thing was that there is no walking-foot that will fit it! Also love it's wide throat. I quilted 2 King size with it.
Now I have my Pfaff Exp 3.0, but the oldie but goodie still has its jobs to do.
