I was so impressed with Pocono Sew & Vac. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I ordered my pathfinder on a Saturday, it was shipped on Monday, I received it on Tuesday, that's impressive service! The machine was well packed, easy to set up, with loads of information to read, plus the 2 months of on-line classes. I absolutely love the pathfinder and will be a customer for life! Thank you Pocono Sew & Vac.
