The 1473 is one of the most versatile and capable sewing machines ever built, it sews heavier materials with ease and precision. This machine is an amazing little powerhouse. Very well-built and sturdy.
I have had 3 other Pfaff machines. 1473, 1475 x2 and I really love this machine and wanted another to use for traveling. It did not work, as advertised, but I took it and another like it , that was not working any longer, to a talented repair man and he was able to take some needed parts and the foot controller off my other machine and was able to get this machine working again! I thank you, Susan K
