does anyone know about sewing machines?

particularly pfaff like this http://www.sewingmachinewarehouse.com.au/product.asp?id=358&pid=22

Is it overkill for an L plater?

How large are the alphabet letters?

Thanks, for any info.

Huge might be good, lol. My old Janome 8000 could do 4 sizes I think but there may be a smaller script for that labelling? as in text, not monogramming.

I have been sewing all day, making lap pillows. Can't believe how much I got done!

It's not monogramming size alphabet.  I think that would be in a much more pricey range.  It came with the receipt and warranty so I'm happy with that.  If I had loads of dollars I might have gone for a flashy one that does embroidery but alas no such luck in that dept so I'm happy to settle for this one which offers more than what I could get new for the same price.   It's a year old and only done a few hours work.

I'm glad you bought it, looks like a good deal for the price.  Pfaff are a respected and reliable brand, when all domestic machines were mechanical only Pfaff was considered no.1 followed by Husqvarna then Bernina. 

Enjoy!  After a while you will know the features you will always want in a machine, and it mostly depends on what you use it for i.e. the needs of a quilter are vastly different to those of a dressmaker. Also if you have several machines set up in a production line with dedicated purpose i.e. different thread and/or presser feet  you can work a lot faster.  So later on  don't feel bad if you think you want more than one machine because they all have different strengths and characteristics.
