Ok so I have some inheritance to spend. Was thinking of a pfaff fabric mover with cruise but I know some people do not like them. I understand you can do regualar piecing on these also.
Does anyone have a high end pfaff. What do you like about it. I might trade in my 2044 quilter. Don`t thinkI wantthe up keep of 2. What would you do?
Thanks Gale

You need two machines for when one is in the shop.
I have a cheap Brother that stands in when my good Viking is getting an annual checkup. Computer machines should be treated with care.
There are bad reviews for the fabric mover so I did not get one for my Viking, which also has one available. The old models have to small of a hole and you keep hitting the edge. The newer one is expensive and people say it is hard to use on a large area and of course the demo is on a small piece.
I would check on getting a used Bernina with the stitch regulator.

I have the Pfaff 2140 (upgraded to 2170). I love it! If I had the money I would buy another Pfaff to have two, one for embroidery and one for piecing. I have the Fabric Mover, not sure if old or new one. Haven't taken the time to learn it but hopefully one day. I know several here have two machines and am envious,but will save money to buy another Pfaff so my bobbins and feet will be interchangeable.

Thanks for the info.Yes I`m going to a dealer hopefully next week to see what they have and hopefully test drive.
If I get a good price I might trade mine in and get top of the line, but then might be smart to keep my for classes as I don`t think I would want to haul the new one to class. Lots of thinking.

I have Pfaff 7570 and 2140, There are my cherished items.
I would never part with either machine. I will buy another Pfaff
if the chance arrives.
What ever you choose, buy from a good dealer. This is where you will get the help in learning your machine.
