I had a Pfaff 1473, that I bought back in the mid 80's I think, and loved it. About 5 years ago my husband got me a Pfaff 7570, and we gave my 1473 to a friend. She is still using it, and I am still loving my 7570. It also has the embroidery module with it, but I don't get much use out of it, but I plan to keep the 7570 until I die. I also have a Brother CS6000i, a 1954 Featherweight, and an older New Home. I let my students use my Brother and New Home. I am sold on Pfaff products.
