    I also have the praff performance and it is the most wonderful machine. I just love it, and I just sold my viking sapphire on crags list last week. I', totally with you

    Good for you, I started with a 1222 Pfaff, then a 7570, and now have a Creative Sensation, Love all of them and still use all of them. So far they are better than other machines I have and have had. Glad you found them.

    I have a viking designer 11 that I just love! What were your problems with the sapphire? I think that was the replacement when they discontinued mine. I'm just curious. Glad you found a machine you liked because nothing nicer than having good equipment

    I have an older Creative and bought a passport to take to classes last Friday. I haven't had time to play with it yet. I am getting ready to go to a quilt show tomorrow.

    It is amazing at how much of a difference having a machine that you like is!

    Good choice, I don't know about those other machines but I love my Pfaff. I've had mine since the late 90's and it's still going strong. Congratulations.

    I'm glad you were able to find a machine that was compatible with you. I think I would try to sell your Viking Sapphire and buy some special fabrics with it. If the sewing machine and you are not getting along, it takes all the joy out of sewing/quilting; plus it may increase your vocabulary.

    T-Anne,
    Congratulations on your new toy!
    I tried the machine that you bought, I liked it, but it was really more than I could afford.
    I traded in my Sapphire for a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.2. This machine is fabulous! None of the problems that the Sapphire had.
