They also had a Pfaff 2144 embroidery machine for sale which a lot of the 2144's have been upgraded to 2170's, which is what I have. I like having an embroidery Pfaff which is computerized and then my old heavy duty tanker right next to it. I can multi-task! I think they are asking $300 for the Pfaff 1222.

Either store is worth the trip, but if you are coming in from the north, the Round Rock store could be your first stop. If you don't find what you want there, go on to the south store. Optimize your travel and cover all your bases so you won't regret not dropping in on both.

It is wonderful for straight line & ditch quilting and esp for borders & bindings. It's been on Pfaffs for about 15-20 yrs I think ... The Janome 6600 is the only other machine I'm aware of now that offers a built in dual feed foot. :)
