Pfaff ! Pfaff ! Pfaff ! This is my second one, a 1522 Free Style. It is about 25 years old. Before that I had a Pfaff also. I fell in love with Pfaff's when I was in High School 60 years ago. Why pay for lots of fancy stuff if you do not need it ? Last month bought a Singer Featherweight in excellent condition. I still love to do hand work also. Good luck on your search
