That is a great idea about waiting for the State Fair or a big quilt show. Unfortunately our state fair is in the fall but the Dallas, TX quilt guild show is coming up in March. That gives me some time to look around and make some comparisons but I really think I want the Pfaff. I have enjoyed the one I have so much and it stitches beautifully. Just think, that, along with a lot of upgrades - wonderful!
