I have a Pfaff 2144 and I am not that happy with it. It was gently used when I got it and I am 60 miles from the shop that I bought it in, so it is not too easy for me to get help. Anyways, I just think it should run smoother. And for those who don't already own an embroidery machine, just beware that you will probably want the extra programming which is quite expensive too. Make sure you ask about it because my shop really didn't say anything.
