I have had my Pfaff 7570 since it first came out. Traded in a 1490?? I think. Don't recall the number. I love the 7570 for sewing and piecing. The low bobbin is my favorite feature. I wish it had a thread cutter. Like a fool I have had several Janomes in recent years because my dealer stopped carrying Pfaff. I like the Pfaff so much better because it's not temperamental. I never used the embroidery unit which is obsolete now.
