Talking of Grandkids, I just bought my 17 year old granddaughter a Pfaff 1222e, from the late 70's! I gave her a choice of the vintage Pfaff 1222e or a new plastic machine from Costco! She wanted the vintage machine that is not a computer! She has used my 1222e a lot and loves the machine! I didn't mind spending the money at all for the vintage Pfaff - that machine is so well made! She will have it for as long as she wants it! The best part is that I can help her with any problems she has understanding the machine because I have had mine since 1976, and it is still one of my go to machines!
