I have had mine now for about 6 months and I absolutely love it. I actually purchased mine from the UK and saved myself about $600 Australian, even with the freight.
I do a lot of machine applique and I just love the way the presser foot lifts up with the needle in the needle down position. It makes pivoting so much easier and the thread cutter ... that's just something else. My old machine was a Janome Memory Craft that was 28 years old. I loved it to bits, but the Pfaff has completely won me over. Enjoy!!!!
