Good to hear all these comments. I have 2 Pfaff Essential Ambition. One to leave set up all; the time and one to use for classes/retreats. I plan to eventually buy a Passport for my daughter. I just bought her a Brother from Hancocks to see if she likes sewing and if she does, I would like to buy her a Passport when they come on sale. I love my Pfaffs I have and would like my daughter to eventually have one, too, if she does like quilting. She is 20 and has just taken a slight interest in quilting so far.
