I have a Pfaff 7510 that I have had for roughly 8-10 years. I absolutely love the built in walking foot. The bobbin indicater never did work and I don't care as I can hear it when it gets low if I am paying attention. Also have a Babylock Ellagio sewing/embroidery machine. I would be hard pressed to tell you which one I like the best. My daughter bought a Babylock Ellure for sewing and embroidery and she really used it heavily and it never failed to give good results. She has since purchased a professional Babylock embroidery only machine and has a small embroidery business. The old Babylock went to her daughter and is still going strong. Both Pfaff (at least the older models) and Babylock are work horses.
