I'm talking about the plastic wonder Pfaff I couldn't resist picking up for $15 at a flea market the other day. I know, I shouldn't be discussing the 'newer' machines here, but I just couldn't pass up a Pfaff for $15 bucks! I have never even seen a Pfaff at a flea market, thrift store, estate sale, yard sale before. How could a pass by one at a flea market for $15? Anyway, it is the Pfaff 4228 that didn't have a foot pedal or plug - that is why it was so cheap. I tried searching for the machine on the net and found some references to a 4228, but when I went into the sites that referenced the machine - nothing - no Pfaffs with that number listed anywhere! I still find nothing, and the repair guys - I tried two of them - find nothing either! So if the 'vintage' repair guy who has been doing this for 50 + years says he thinks it is not made by Pfaff, I believe him! Or could it be that all the machines coming out of Taiwan, look the same and are made by the same people there?

Anyway, I actually like this little machine. I have a couple modern, new Janomes that I really use to use all the time - until I got into vintage. It is nice to have another new machine for the kids and for light weight trips to classes since this one does decorative, has needle positioning, etc.
