I have one and absolutely love it. It has a lot of features for the money, sews straight and true, and best of all has IDT. No problems or issues with it.

What is IDT?

Can't recall what it stands for. It's a built-in walking foot that you can engage or disengage at your choice. It helps transport all layers of a project at the same speed/time. Makes a big difference in quilting and in matching patterns between layers of fabric (plaids, stripes, etc). It is really the only thing I miss on my non-Pfaff machine.

I believe it is Integrated Dual Technology. In other words bot the presser foot and feed dogs move the material together. It is easily disengaged if you want it off. I usually have my 'on.'

I wouldn't be sewing but for the IDT and the 1/4" flange guide foot ... or at least a sem guide.

And once you get use to the Pfaff with the IDT, you won't want to sew without it.:)
