To lady that sent me a message about this post it won let me respond back so I am goin to post my info here. The machine hubby got me was a Pfaff creative 7570 and I have found the books for it but apparently some folks think its printed on gold laced paper and the ones I have found are out of my budget range. My sweet sweet hubby just wen on the fact that I wanted/needed a new machine and that his moms 40yr old pfaff still works like new but I know from reading after purchase that this machine is a workhorse and a good machine but just not as user friendly as some machines. I love it and him for trying so hard. His hobby is chainsaws and he sold his favorite one to get me this machine.
