I have a gaggle of vintage Singers, each loved and coveted for certain features. I also have a friend who is an avid collector and restorer of machines; she lets me borrow whatever machines I want to play with. She loaned me a Pfaff 1222E for long term but has since given me the machine to keep. I recently found a Pfaff Tipmatic on LSN. It was love at first stitch on both Pfaffs because of the IDT. I like mechanical machines with as few electronics as possible. The 1222E does enough fancy stitches for anything I would want. If either of the Pfaffs go to the quilt shop in the sky I will buy another machine with IDT.
