I have a Pfaff 2170 that I love but only use a fraction of what it can do. Sews like a charm.
I'd love to get a Creative Vision but can't right now.

I actually saved up and did buy a Creative [CV] but am paying it off on the no interest loan plan anyway. I only uise that machine at home at when I take a CV class. Otherwise, my old Pfaff is my 'traveling machine.' The Older Pfaff has the IDT but is not an embroidery machine at all. Love them both.

All I want now is to find an affordable featherweight for when my hands deteriorate more ... which they are doing.

My pfaff machine is the best machine I have ever had.. I don't buy a new machine often.. this will no doubt be my last new machine.

I just finished making my first 'Bow Tuck' bag.. and I love how easy it was to do the quilting for the bag.. it was a joy to sew today.. I sat there all day.. what a fun day I had.. I don't get to do that often and it makes me so happy when I can..

A beautiful new Pfaff and a whole day of sewing.. must be heaven!

I wouldn't be without a Pfaff and the IDT, this feature has saved me lots of headaches.

Oh, Judie! Our DH's must be TWINS!!! I've had a Pfaff 1471 for over 20 years - and I just got the Creative Vision 5.0 for my birthday from him! I really love it, but feel "clumsy" with it, since my 1471 and I have worked as one for so many years. I haven't done any embroidery yet - but hope to do so VERY soon! Do you have any tips for me??? Thanks!

At my first quilting class, I found out that my Singer machine was broken. The instructor was great and she let me use her spare Pfaff that she brings just in case anyone needs it. Wow! I completely fell in love with the IDT concept and Pfaffs in general. I'm now saving for one of my own. I have our local sewing machine repair person looking for a gently used or refurbished one.

Seriously, it sews like butter!!

Judy,
Austin Sewing has a Round Rock location but I go to the south store where I take my embroidery classes. They are always having nice used ones and they are serviced before but out on the floor to sell. You also get lessons on how to use it.

OOh! Cool! When I've saved more, I'll check them out. :) Thanks!

Do you like the older, heavy mechanical Pfaffs? The south store has a Pfaff 1222 for sale or did the last time I was in the store. It came out about 10 years or so after my Pfaff 262 which came out in 1968. The 262 is the one you see in my ID picture. 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.

I love my pfaff 7570, just wish it had an auto thread cutter. I *hate* having to always cut threads! I know, I know...I'm lazy! LOL
