My $1500 Pfaff was taken to the repair shop in August 2017. Was told that it needed a part that had to be ordered.
Checked three months later.......part not in yet. In the meantime, I needed to finish some Christmas items. Bought a Brother 6000. It is not fussy about the thread I use, runs quiet, is lightweight and does whatever I asked of it. To date...do not have my Pfaff back. Wrong part sent by manufacturer. Am I missing my Pfaff.......not much. Another lesson learned.
