I have had 3 pfaffs..LOVED THEM ALL! I know own a "big bucks" Bernina...wish I had just gotten another Pfaff....Perfectly straight stitching...best 1/4 inch seam....I went back and bought a 7500 series...and it is just a great little mechine...doesn't have all the bells and whistles...but then again...I don't use those other stitches...more than one a year!
