I have a Pfaff C.V. 5.0 upgraded to a 5.5!
I love this machine.
I use it mostly for piecing but love the embroidery.
I thought it was dying this week with the mystery quilt but after updating, it seems to be working well.
I am looking for a replacement, as in another Pfaff on Offer Up and Craigs list.
The Creative Sensation seems to be a great machine as well.
Hope this helps.
