This last week Eric came home with a big surprise for me. A sewing machine. I was looking a one online and decided on a cheaper simpler one, but when Eric gets looking he can't stop until we have what he is searching for. This sewing machine is a Pfaff 1471. It is the same kind of machine that his mom has and she has had it for years. Pfaff is a German maker and they make really durable machines, but they are soooo expensive. I was not sure about this machine at first because I do not sew a lot and I just wanted a nice machine that wouldn't break down and make do until I had the time to really get into sewing, say in 6 years when Eric graduates. To my surprise this sewing machine is awesome. It is programmed with over 100 stitches and you can also program your own like your name. It also comes with different attachments or foots. I have been playing with it and get so excited when I sew a new stitch. For an older machine it runs like a new one. We also got it for a killer deal on ebay because the person selling it happened to live 15 min away and so far we have not seen a machine sell as low. I now have all these new projects to sew and try to sew a quilt that does not include yarn ties.
There are a lot of fun embroidery stitches.
There are compartments that hold the foots, needles, bobbins, etc.
Some of the fun stitches I played with.
