Are you selling the 3.2 or are you still looking for a different Pfaff and haging onto it for now? I might be interested ......

I'm a bit under the weather today and struggling getting all the folk straight who are wanting or thinking of selling different Pfaff's. I have two Pfaffs, the Select 3.2 and the Performance 5. They're at opposite ends of the spectrum and neither is perfect but I rather favour the little mechanical over the heavily computerised PP5. The Select doesn't have adjustable foot pressure or needle/up down (the only things I miss really) while the P5 is so top heavy with computerisation I honestly wish it wasn't as clever as it is. That's why I love my 1990 computerised Bernina more, even without IDT and no adjustable foot pressure either.

All the overloaded computerisation often makes choosing all those functions just more complex as opposed to more convenient. A simple button or dial to change stitch length or width can save so much time over tap, tap, tapping on a screen.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

Apart from the variable stitch width, LED lights and needle positions it sounds pretty much identical to my elderly Pfaff 6120 which goes on and on.  It's the one machine that just feel like an extension of me, although the others work perfectly well. I love their feet too.  Mine has fewer stitches and only 3 needle positions, but they don't seem to have added any unnecessary bells and whistles. It sounds a great machine.

Annieeg, I've decided that I really want to buy the machine if you would be willing to sell it for £170,could you let me know how much the postage or courier would be. Sybil
