I'M SO HAPPY!!! Love it, love it, love it....
Still, in my mind the choice must be between the Pfaff and Juki machines.... I really WANTED straight 1/4" seams and now I've got them. I feel so much better now! Honestly I keep hoping for a cool day to come, so I can go out and test drive the 3 that are on my list. Its 5:50 here now and I am getting ready to go to the grocery store(85 right now), to beat the heat. Sigh..112 here today. Looks like Sunday will be lower with 109 but the places I want to check out, a few are closed on Sun. |
Some of the older machines have a larger throat.
I have a Pfaff 1222E (has IDT)with an 8" throat, Singer 15 with 7",Singer 201 about 8". The newest machine is a Viking Sapphire 875 with a 10" throat. |
I have a Husquvarna Sapphire and a Designer Diamond. The Sapphire is a real workhorse. It was one of the first ones put out...wouldn't trade it for the world.

I'm also considering the Pfaff 2.0. The dealer I spoke with is selling it for $1199, which may be a little high(?). He said he'd give me $200 to trade in my Kenmore, but I think I want to keep the Kenmore. I haven't made my decision either and will go back and test drive the machine myself before I decide. I was certainly impressed with the dealer's demonstration though. I've been reading reviews of a lot of machines and based on that alone, went to see the Pfaff 2.0 "in person". Good luck in your decision. Please let us know what you decide.

A friend of mine just bought a Pfaff 4.0 and loves hers. She wondered why she waited so long to buy it.
