My son wants a new sewing machine ( so he doesn't have to wait to use mine.) :-D He is looking at a Pfaff Select 3.0. Does any one else have this machine. Is it a good one? Any info would be great. I don't want to spend to much money for a machine that isn't really nice.

You can go to http://www.patternreview.com and check for reviews of this machine. Click on the sm/serger category and search on the model. Pfaff has a good reputation, but it's always important to look at customer reviews of the exact model you are considering.

I am a Pfaff owner and I believe the current thought is that the newer Pfaffs are no where near as good as the older Pfaffs that were all metal and made in germany. Pfaff has been sold a number of times and I think the quality control has gone down. I have two Pfaffs from the early 80s and they are both awesome, but I can't speak for anything that has been made in the last 3 decades!
