I'm sorry your machine died. The 75 series of the Creative Pfaff are great machines.[/QUOTE]
I have a 7570 that was dealer 'repaired' in March but still does not sew right and have set it aside. Was something in the head and never mentioned the motherboard having an issue. Repair cost $250 and am using an Evensewn Sparrow 30 instead of putting more money into the Pfaff. I never used the embroidery stuff that came with the Pfaff.
