Pfaff is a great example of this. Ask a Pfaff dealer and they'll tell you they're still German made(at least the dealer here does.) Actual fact is, they may still be designed by German engineers, but they've been manufactured in China since 2006.
Bernina dealers also don't like to admit that the Bernette machines are badged machines made in China. Bernina doesn't build them.
