Durham Review by Val Bryson
Overall rating I have used a Pfaff for a number of years as a quilter but lately I wished to extend my skills and found my old machine limiting. This machine has enabled me to do things I was unable to do previously. A huge pat on the back for PFAFF (Posted on 12/1/10)

Scottish Highlands Review by Sandra Braznell
Overall rating A well designed machine, with many interesting features, to aid the user to produce accurate and professional looking work. There is great scope for customising the vast array of stitches.
I do, however find the machine very heavy to lift.
I am delighted with my purchase, and the service I have received. (Posted on 7/18/09) -

Stafford, Virginia, USA Review by Lee
Overall rating I have had my new machine for nearly a year. It sews very nicely, winds bobbins smoothly, quilts (both patterns and meanders) through multiple layers evenly. The IDT is a gift. Previously, I struggled with walking feet. The needle up and down options, tie off, and needle side to side combined with the many stitches make quilting a joy. On the down side, the machine is a bit louder than some of my other machines and seems to stitch slowly when I want to race. But these things do not detract from the machine. I would highly recommend the machine. (Posted on 1/5/09)
