Default pfaff 1016

In my regular mail the other day, I got a flyer for a "PFAFF factory
truckload sale" sponsored by one of the local vac and sew shops. One of the
models advertised was a model 1016 (at least that is the best I can make out
their tiny print) for $99, and it says that it usually sells for $299. From
the picture it does not appear to be a computerized model, but I can't even
really tell that, but from the MSRP, I would be surprised if it is.

I looked on the PFAFF site and could not find this model, in fact I could
not find any of the models advertised on this flier. In fact the closest I
could find is a coverlock serger, model 4850, the closest model that I could
find on the PFAFF site is a coverlock, model 4852. This makes me suspect
that PFAFF is having a big ol' truck drive around selling some discontinued
models. That does not really bother me if they are good machines at good
prices.

I am not really in the market for a new sewing machine, but I was wondering
if I did go to this sale and buy the machine (the 1016), would I get a good
sewing machine at a good price or would I not get much more quality than if
I spent my $100 at Wal-Mart.

Sorry I sent the same message twice, I guess my finger just slipped and I
hit the "send" button twice, or something like that.

Interesting Irene. I looked at that shop (there are several
locations) when I bought my Bernina 930 years ago. They really
are a Pfaff dealer but had a 930 that was just ever so slightly
out of time. The idea was to convince you a Pfaff was better.
They were not an authorized Bernina dealer as far as I know.
I felt pretty ripped off by the deception and ran. Turned
me off to that dealer and Pfaff's generally.

Maybe I need more coffee! We cut way back on the caffene and I
miss it. With the way we are eating I should last forever!
I am sure I don't look a day over 900 anyway.
