Brenda,
We are almost neighbors.
On the Pfaff, you can just change out one needle. You can also take out some needles if you're doing something that you want just a tiny space felted, to use less needles. It has a needle height adjustment too so if you're working on thicker threads, you raise it up. The only thing I found I can't do (darn) was put my embroidery machine hoops under the guard and needles so I could embroider, then felt, then go back to embroider the rest of the design. I even (against my own better judgment) tried to remove the guard to see if I could then get them under then, but still no go. Oh well, I just hand felted those designs, which took longer and my motto is to do everything I can by machine.
Wish I was closer to Dubuque, I'd join you.

You and I are almost neighbors. I'm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I have the Pfaff CV and have the Pfaff dealer in Dubuque as my support. She is fantastic.
She is talking about giving a day class, one Saturday, on the use of the Pfaff needle felting machine, where we would all use HER machines. I think it would be a good intro to the machine, and quite honestly, I would probably ask if I could buy my machine after the class. (That may be her plan!)
For the Pfaff felting machine, if you break a needle, can you replace one needle at a time, or do you have to replace them all at once? I'm not sure if you would call it a "head" or what you call all of the needles, but I guess that might be one little thing to consider... I would think if you have to replace all the needles, if you break just one, it might get rather expensive, whereas it might be cheaper, if you can replace just one needle at a time.
I'm not planning on any large projects, so I don't think speed is a factor (for me).
Thank you,
Brenda
