Pfaff Ambition 1.5

I went to a sewing machine shop today to have a look on a Pfaff Ambition 1.0. After having used little time on which brand and type of model will suits my needs sewing ethnic garments especially very thin fabrics, I found Pfaff as the brand which could meet my sewing needs. Phaff is welknown for their IDT (Integrated Dual Feed) feature which means that the fabric is fed from bottom but also from top. This gives a really good finish. I tried to sew on a thin fabric at the shop. First without the IDT and then with the IDT. The results were really amazing. I have sewn in thin fabrics using my mom's old Singer machine. It is really hard to feed the thin fabric evenly and the result would also be a little crumpled. The difference could be felt today :)

The Ambition 1.0 was out of stock - seems like it is a very popular model. The differents between 1.0 and 1.5 are only that the latter one have a touch screen and a bobbin thread sensor. For me the last two thing were not that important that I would pay 200$ extra for these features.

However I ended trying the 1.5 model as the 1.0 was out of stock. And it seems quite easy with the touch screen actually. You get a stick/pin which makes it easy to do the selections. 

The personnel in the shop were nice to let me try few features, and showed how it worked. :)

I was impressed by the features... Lot of things happened in the sewing machine world since I have tried my mom's old Singer machine for years, I may admit.

The good news was that since 1.0 was out of stock they offered the 1.5 to the very same price as the 1.0 :)

Now I was in real trouble, I never planned to buy a sewing machine for more than 1000kr (approx 200$). But at same time I already had seen that it would be tough to get a cheaper sewing machine to fulfill my needs. Hence I only wanted "to have a look" today.

Sometimes you shall pay for the value, and I decided to buy one right there in the shop.

I ordered the Ambition 1.5 based on the 40 minutes trial I had in the shop and also based on my search on the net past few days. Now waiting for it to be delivered :)

Now the sewing machine is in place, I need to overcome any laziness and lay it on the shelves and get started to create what I have longed for so many years. Make my own sarees :)

I hope he is certainly right!

Have a good night!
