Congratulations on your new find. May the relationship be a fun one.

I am a big Pfaff fan--congrats on your new friend!

I inherited my Pfaff 1471 from my sister. I never sewed before. But I am addicted now. I love this sewing machine. I've gone to many quilt shows and taken classes using new machines of many different brands. But I much prefer my little work horse Pfaff 1471.

I too am a huge Pfaff fan, I am down to just 6 from 9 Pfaffs I have owned over the years, nothing else really does it for me, they are really great machines! Hope you have many happy years with your new workhorse. Happy stitching!!

I have one of those, I think. I bought mine new about 25 years ago. It was the best machine. I never had to have it repaired once with about 20 years of use.

I own 2 Pfaff 1471's. Went to a quilt retreat last month and took both. The one I started using decided to malfunction and would only sew forward in a straight line. I didn't take my book along so when I got home I looked up in the "troubleshooting" section and found what to do to reset it and WHOOPIE! it works just like new again. Was really thankful that I had bought both along so I was still able to sew.
Congratulations on your find. You will love it and they seem to run forever. Actually I bought the 2nd one so I could have another project going w/o having to change thread or feet:)))

Congratulations. Enjoy your Pfaff sewing machine. It's on my wish list.

I had this machine for many, many years until it finally gave up the ghost and could not be repaired. It sewed anything and everything. I have had many brands of machines over the years and currently have a Bernina which is great but this Pfaff was truely the best machine I have ever used. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be the long serving workhorse mine was. Coincidently I just went today to look at purchasing a second machine and the one I'm considering is a Pfaff due totally to my fond memories of this one.

Just wonderful, enjoy and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day
