I have 3 Pfaff 7570s and I really love them!! it has so many fancy stitch's 30 of them are 9mil. It does all the embroidery I could ever want to do, and the stitch's are so nice! I do have a newer machine but hardly ever use it but just use my 7570's for every thing, Have one set up for embroidery, one set up for piecing (love the IDT) and one is set up for machine quilting.again that IDT is wonderful! I do not see any time when I would need a newer machine, you might want to check out a older machine to see what you do like about it and what you do not like, and you can save 100s or more!
