My favorite sewing machines for over 30 yeares have been Pfaff. I have a 7570 that I use for all sewing that is over 30 years old and I will never trade off. I bought a CV about three years ago and am still learning new functions this machine has. A great way to keep the old brain working. I believe that the deciding factor is the service and support you will get from the store that you purchase your new machine.
