The Pfaff has so many features that you'll be spoiled and never want to use anything elce. Love it, love it, love it.

We are a 3-Pfaff house. 2038, 1475CD, and 1200 (Grand Quilter). The 2038 and 1200 were purchased new, and the 1475 was purchased from a LQS. The previous owner had bought it at the shop, used it for SEVERAL years, then traded it in. It still purrs like a kitten and sews great; I don't think I'll ever wear it out. I don't think you can go wrong with a Pfaff.

I've had a Pfaff 2170 for a couple years and have really enjoyed it. The embroidery possibilities are great. If you have a good deal and available advice, go for it. Pfaff is known as a workhorse. I know I've done more to mine than I'd like to admit, but it keeps on working well. I don't know what I would do without it.

Pfaff or the company who purchased them stopped making the boards for the 7550 and I am sure some others and you have to find someone who can rework the board. Good luck. missbelle 985 Asheville Hwy. Spartanburg, SC 29303 864-585-7436 [email protected] This is the best place to get service for your Pfaff. They may not be near you, but I feel sure if you contact Ray's they will try to help you if possible. The mail is always handled quickly. |
I have a Pfaff 2054 sewing machine and love it, the walking foot is a great benefit, don't think I could do without it now! Kind of wish I had saved up more $ and bought a combo (sew/embroidey), but I have an older Babylock embroidery machine. - Pfaff is a excellet machine! :-)

I have a Pfaff since 1982 and runs good and never had a bit of problem with it as I bought it new

I'm so glad to hear that so many of you love your Pfaffs. I'm on my second one, a 2027 that I've had 5 or 6 years. Had a very plain-Jane hobby model Pfaff before that. I, too, love the built-in walking foot. Someone mentioned a low bobbin indicator. What model would I have to upgrade to to get that feature?

I had low bobbin ind, on my 1229,

Have you ever had problems with your Grand Quilter coming unthreaded or breaking thread in the middle of a quilting run? I have the same machine & this is an ongoing problem for me, ever since I got it 4 years ago.
