I forgot about how quiet a Pfaff is compared to other machines. Part of my requirement was that it be "quiet" enough to not bother my husband's amateur radio equipment in the room next to my sewing room. He actually built me a meter about the size of a remote control that I used to determine which machine was quietest. Pfaff won, hands down. All the sales ladies who helped me at the 3 stores I went to found my device amusing, declaring no one had ever come and "measured" which machine was quietest before.
