You will absolutely love it! I have had mine now for about 6 months. How did I ever live without it. Go for it. You won't regret it.

I have a sewing machines in four different rooms, bc I don't have enough room for them in the sewing studio. I am planning to put my Pfaff 7570 on Craigs list. I just bought a Janome 6600 so getting some of my money back would be nice. In the sewing studio I have, Janome 6600, 2 FWs, serger, HQ16, antique Kenmore and 2 antique Singers. Not to mention my toy machines that sit on a high shelf in the Sewing Studio. Buy the machine and make all of us happy.

I have 7and would not give up any one of then if you want it get it

Hi! I'm new here and just found this topic! One certainly after my own heart! I've been collecting sewing machines since we got married 26 years ago! And my husband does not help the fact - he will even pick up old ones from the junk yard! I also collect mini's....yup, we have a lot! But - Ithink you should get the new-to- you machine! I think it was meant to be!
|
Guess I am really in the right group. I had 8 machines and decided to purchase my Gammill - had to really move things around in my sewing studio until I could figure out where to put everything. Ended up having to put my Bernina and cabinet in my restroom for awhile (its huge-20x25) which has the tub and sinks only in that portion of the restroom. One thing I did learn though - when you have company and excuse yourself to go to the restroom - you can sew to your hearts content and no one will knock on the door and bother you.lol

I say that you can never have to many machines, each one has its own personality, they do their own thing better than another. I stilll have the original family sewing machine limps along badly , my husband foung another almost exactly like it and is working on fixing it for me which will give me 7 working machines each is set up different, but I only have room to keep three on tables at a time.
|
Ooooooh. I got all shivery just reading your comment. I want one of eveything! If a friend gets a new machine (doesn't matter what brand) I want one also. If there is a sale somewhere, I want one. It's an addiction. Currently have 4 and they each have a different purpose so I consider myself only having 1 ...... reallly. :roll:
|
Hi all, I just had to admit to my addiction...is this like AA ?? I own a total of 12 machines. They are in the range of an original from the late to early 17-18 hundreds to my collection of family machines. I have collected over the last 20 years or so from family members. I sew on my old faithful, a Kenmore. I started to sew at 8 so I've been at it for about 42 years now.
|
Oh my goodness, I lust for the Pfaff 4. The wide swing opening is reason enough. Like my Mom always said you never regret buying quality. If I had seen the machine before you, well...... Go for it. A real Pfaff fan.
|
I have one Singer that I bought, one other that hubby had and gave me as a back-up in case the Singer dies.
I guess everyone has something that they feel they need a lot of. Ask me how many flash drives I have. Now, if you buy this new machine there will be that much less you have to spend on fabric....... :D |
Go for it. Any person serious about quilting/embroidery/sewing needs more that one machine! Just like my husband needs more than one gun/rifle and more than one fishing boat. :thumbup:
|
I am all for buying the Pfaff as no one can have too many machines. I have 2 Bernina's and a feather weight and have just purchased the Baby Lock Sashiko. I use all of my machines frequently to keep them running good. LOL

ok people...I DID IT. :twisted: The Pfaff is an official member of my family. I've been sewing with it the last 2 days and we're getting along just peachy. I still think I need help...sewing machines anonymous!!!!
|

My husband has 5 industrial machines he does upholstery with 1 machine has a 30 inch neck! He says that he's glad we have the sewing hobby in common, but I don't make enough stuff or sew enough i have yet to make my first quilt! He says he is waitng on me to make him one too! I am truly a terrible person! hee hee!

Woooo Hoooooo! Good stuff.

I also am a confessed "book Worm" and I mean a big book worm .

Please let us know how you like the Pfaff. I am in the market for a new machine and am really interested in this one. I can't afford to make a mistake so will be really interested to hear all the pros and cons of this machine. How fortunate you were to find this one. Good for you.

Why on earth do I think I need 3 sewing machines? I'm only 1 person who can sew on 1 machine at a time. Then my DH pointed out that I have my old Kenmore in the closet. I told him that one doesn't count because I learned how to sew on it and I just can't sell it. Do we all have this kind of problem or do I need serious help? :mrgreen:
And did I mention the lady is willing to let me try the Pfaff out for a few days to see if I like it! Like it's even a possibility I wouldn't like it.... |

Hi,
I am so happy you got another machine. My friend that lives out of state, she names all of her toys (sewing machines, spinning wheels, drop spindles etc.) Have you named her yet? Karen |

Once again, Thanks for the Justification!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
I think that sewing machines are like potato chips you can not stop at just one. Whether they are vintage or the newfangled ones that are out there if you quilt you will somehow collect a few machines.
But I warn you that it is more addictive than any drug out there. Ask me how I know......... Billy |

Good for you! My daughter recently bought a Bernina 440 QE and so did a good friend. They both love their machines so, when I went to a local quilt show today, quess what I did? Yup -bought one too. I'm doomed. Just have to figure out how to "splain" this to husband-san. :shock: :shock:
|
I like to buy machines that I've never owned and try them out. I bought a Pfaff Tiptronic on Ebay and although it had that nifty attached quilting foot and sewed the best stitches I've ever seen, we did not see eye-to-eye. I ended up selling it to gal who needed a 2nd Tiptronic for her other home.
I think we all have a duty to buy and try out every single brand of sewing machine ever made. |
