i just bought a Pfaff Performance 5.0, I had looked at the Creative Sensation but decided I didn't need to have the embroidery option as I would probably not ever use it. I went to YouTube and found some good videos demonstrating machines. Checkout the ones done by Village Sewing, after watching the demo of the Performance 5.0 he had me sold, the video was almost an hour long and went through all the different things the machine could do. As Maggie_Sue said it does just about everything except my housework. This is my 3rd Pfaff , a Select 3(kept as my backup), Ambition 1.0 (I traded this in) and I have loved them all, especially the IDT system.
