I have 3 Pfaff 1222 machines. I got the first one for Mother's day in 1976 and sewed everything on it. I sewed on it until the knob you change the stitches with froze up. The repairman said it was not worth fixing since it would cost about $300 to fix it (this was about 5 yrs ago). That day I bought another one from the repair shop so I would have one that worked, and a few days after that my daughter brought me another one that she got at a thrift shop. I also have a 2054 and 2056 and I love all three machines. The 1222 machines are true work horses and I hope you love yours like I love mine. I wish I had a foot I could sell you but I only have accessories for the first 1222 machine that I got. Happy sewing.
