Otherwise, I'll be posting it for sale. Mine is only 3 yrs. old this month. AND I've only used it 1/2 that time because I leave it here when I go south for the winter.
I would not recommend a Pfaff. I bought mine about 8 years ago and have had so much trouble with it. I bought it specifically (well not the only specification) for the thread cutter. That only works about 1/4 of the time depending upon how much thread is on the bobbin and if I hold my mouth just right! Husquvarna, Viking and Pfaff are all the same manufacturers. Someone else might have a different recommendation but I would never recommend another Pfaff.
