I didn't get my machine for Christmas but in September for 35th anniversary. It is a Phaff Creative Vision 5.0 but updated to the 5.5. I had used it during a Betty Cotton class and absolutely loved it. My old Janome would not do any embroidery and I was ready to venture into that area. I haven't even really learned to use the machine but hope to get my sewing room reorganized so it can get set up and I can start playing with it.
Good luck everyone and happy sewing.
