My old Pfaff can’t be reparied. I’m really interested in this model but need to know how it handles layers of thick fabric like decorative pillows with piping or trim.

What a sweet machine! The integrity of the stitching is superb, and machines 4X its price don’t have 7 feed dogs! Consumer Reports is right about this being a BEST BUY–sophisticated design and function at a reasonable price. And it is REALLY easy to use–very intuitive.

Hi,

I’m after this pattern for exactly the same reason as Melissa. I would be ecstatic and happy to pay if you were willing to photocopy or even better if someone could point me in the direction of an equivalent elsewhere that doesn’t cost over $100! You got such a great find there (and I love the other patterns you’re finding and making too, so cute)

Is there any way you would be willing to photo copy it? See, I have to costume a show (local community theater fund raiser) at the last minute and I have to make a dress for the song & dance number Put the Blame on Mame from the film Gilda. This is the only pattern I can find that is close to the look of the famous dress worn in the film. I would of course pay for it.

Hi
I do some home dec work, including making leather pillows, so I was looking at possibly needing a light industrial machine. I went in to my local dealer thinking the Singer would fit my needs, but the salesperson had me test drive this Innovis – absolutely unbelievable in it’s power – sewed through 2 layers of leather like butter (regular needle!). It’s quiet and a nice small size. Speedy too! I needed to think about this, and have decided to go back & purchase one. If you are going to be sewing on heavier fabrics – as well as regular weights – this is The One! – Jennifer

I’m also curious to find out how your machine is doing now. The Brother rebate ends at the end of this month and my current machine’s broken. I already took my Brother machine in to the authorized shop and instead of putting in money to fix it my money will serve better to trade up and take advantage of the rebate. This is the model the shop recommends. I do mostly quilting but I cannot afford an expensive Innov-is right now. I do like Brother machines though. Thank you for any feedback!

Hi Jenny,
Interested in how your new machine is doing now. I can not find any reviews on this machine and would like to hear more.
How is it for hemming jeans over flat felt seams, sewing over layers, does it feed material lightweight at the end when starting or does it suck it down into the bottom.
I think it is a really cute machine and been debating between this one and a Janome. I like the lightweight of the Brother, the Janome I am looking at weighs more.

Hi, do you want to sell this pattern. I would love to make this dress. Only been dressmaking for a year and really like the style.
