Pfaff sewing machines would sit in his shop for over 6 months, waiting for the parts from Pfaff so that he could repair the sewing machine. Finally, he became so fed up he stopped being a Pfaff dealer. He now sells Babylock's because he can get the parts when something needs to be replaced. Pfaff's are good sewing machines, but if it's all but impossible to get the parts to repair them,they become interesting door stops while waiting for parts. Just thought you should know before you purchase a Pfaff.
Where do you live? I've never had that problem,and I've been a Pfaff owner since the mid 80s. I have 3 Pfaffs, including the TOL Creative Sensation, which I LOVE. Why? IDT for one thing. You don't have to use a walking foot, and it works with almost all of the feet, including 1/4" foot. You can use ALL of the fancy stitches with it. It does gorgeous embroidery and I can quilt a King Size quilt because it has a huge throat area. I also use the embrodery feature for quilting. I can resize embroidery and quilting designs right in the machine, and it figures out the change in # of stitches so the density is perfect. Can you tell that I love this machine?!
