WOW. You go girl and your workhorse Pfaff too. I have the 1475CD and they are wonderful. When you call on them, they and do almost anything we ask. Have not used mine for the wonderful work yours has done, but have used to make costumes for actors (had to make a Kevlar vest for a movie extra), was lucky in I got to put all the goodies on before the Kevlar and metal plates went in. You sound like a gal for all seasons with a machine for all seasons too. Good job, your family is very lucky.
