There is a Pfaff available where I do some volunteer sewing. I'm not sure what model. I like this machine, and it does have a bobbin minder. But IMHO, there are two problems with it. It's just a tiny red light, and easy to miss. And there is really too much thread on the bobbin when the light turns on to change bobbins. I'd like a bobbin minder that squawks at me and I'd like to so little thread left on the bobbin that I don't mind pitching it.

Secondly, I don't know if I could call this a gripe but I don't care for sandwiching the quilt. I must 7 or 8 tops to do, mostly charity.
