I've had a Pfaff for over 30 years. My first was a Pfaff tiptronic which sewed miles of clothes seams over the years. Last year I upgraded to a Pfaff Creative 2.0 with embroidery. Wow it is fantastic and has already done miles of sewing on quilts, clothes, and other household projects. Pfaff machines are exceptional in their features. Lots of stitches, specialized feet, easy threading, smooth precise sewing, plenty of room around the needle, the walking foot, auto foot up and down and starting and finishing of seams, and auto cutting of the thread. It can almost sew by itself LOL!!!
