I have a Pfaff 2044 & I love it BUT I found when I really got into machine quilting that the bed space is very small. I bought a Janome 1600 with the 9x6 bedspace & love it for quilting. When I was shopping for the Janome every dealer was showing me a Janome machine (Memory Craft? I can't remember!) with many of the features of my Pfaff and the extra bed space.
