I have to add my two cents regarding the older Pfaff machines. I have a Pfaff 7570 with the embroidery unit which was one of the last ones made in germany. My local Pfaff dealer tried very hard to get me to trade in my 7570 in for one of the newer Pfaffs and I resisted. I am soooooo glad I didn't let them talk me into that "upgrade". The newer Pfaffs are NOT built like the german made Pfaffs. My Pfaff sews, embroiders and quilts beautifully and ofcourse the built in dual feed in my opinion is a must have for quilters.
