My Pfaff mother board went out twice in 2 years. Just can't keep spending that money and waiting 2-3 months to get it back. All our dealings with the local and corporate people were a waste of time. I have a Brother Project runway PC 420. My husband did lots of research and we have been very happy with it so far. Love being able to set a speed and do my FM. I can't say if the Pfaff is better quality but if it is always in the shop it does me no good.
