I have had Pfaff machines for over 30 years and believe they are the best. My 7570 is a real workhorse my favroite for
piecing. My other Pfaff is a Creative Vision 5.0 and it does wonderful things. The most important consideration in purchasing a new machine is SERVICE. We have the best support stores in the area with classes, repair people and just plain friendly people who work there. So it is my advice to check out the store as well as the machines. Good luck,,
