Just like KINKAJOU, I love the IDT built in walking foot which I believe is unique to Pfaff machines. I had a Husqvarna 750, which was a really nice machine, but I traded it for a Pfaff Expression 2038, simply because I wanted that built in walking foot. It is an amazing feature. I believe I paid about $1600 for my Pfaff in Fall 2007. Then I recently purchased the Pfaff Fab-U-Motion table with stitch regulator for machine quilting. It attaches to my machine and makes free motion quilting very "do-able". Nita
