Pfaff girl here. Asking a question like that, you will get a different answer from each person. You have to test drive them all to find out what feels good for you. Each machine will have its own features that you will like. Make a list of what you want and then make a list of what each machine offers and compare. Also shop the dealer. If you go with a high-end machine, a helpful dealer will make all the difference. Dealer support is very important. I have owned a Pfaff machine for 30 years now and I am sold on the machines. They are good quality, and my dealer is one of the best.
