CJ--I forgot to mention that if you do a lot of quitling that the Pfaff also has some features that are nice, particulary the needle down setting that you can use when you want the needle to end down in the fabric when you stop sewing, and the 1/4 " foot, and the light that tells you when the bobbin is running low, and you can thread another bobbin without undoing the thread by using a second spool on the second arm. Happy hunting for your machine!

I have Husqvarna Viking machines. I have worked my way up from the basic machine to the top. I have loved all of them. But my suggestion is to take some fabric that you normally use and go to Joanns and ask to sew on some of the machines. They should be more than happy to let you.
I don't know where you live but I know my dealer which is inside a Joanns is the greatest! And the dealer means a lot. They need to be available to you for any help that you may need or want. Take your time and don't let them be pushy about wanting to sell you more than you want. But if you can afford to, at least buy one with a little more than you think you want, you will be glad that you did. Any questions, email me!
