Two years ago I bought myself a retirement present! A Viking Sapphire. I have nothing nice to say about that machine and in frustration last year I boxed it back up and put it in the closet. I got out my old Husqvarna/Viking machine and have been using it. I have to tell you my experience with that Sapphire stole my quilting joy.

So after a ton of research (again) and hours of bugging the shops by sewing on the different brands I bought a new Pfaff Performance 5.0.

I absolutely adore this machine! I had two quilts that I had made (not finished) and I finished them on the new machine and not a single naughty word left my lips! I didn't know I knew that many bad words, but using that Sapphire made them slip right out of my mouth!

I challenged the Pfaff machine by making a cover out of leather/vinyl that covers the tow bar on the front of the CRV that we tow behind the motorhome. That machine munched right through it and not a problem! Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have made two quilts from start to finish and I love it, so easy and no stress (or naughty words!).

Now I feel like I bought myself a retirement present!

Very nice and lucky you. Congrats on your purchase. I know how you feel about a machine that causes you to use bad words.

I have an old Pfaff and I love it. It's not my primary sewing machine, but it's the machine I go to when I have a challenge. My primary sewing machine can handle the challenge, but my Pfaff can handle it better.

I've been lucky enough to have never had a machine that made me say bad words, but I have had machines that I was uncomfortable sewing on. We just weren't compatible.

I have 2 Pfaff machines and a Pfaff serger. You can't go wrong with a Pfaff. Enjoy your retirement and your machine.

My affair with Pfaff began with my 7570, then I upgraded to The Creative Vision and then to the Creative Sensation!!! A dream machine for sure, so glad you are enjoying yours!!
