I was at a quilt guild meeting last night. Three of us at the same table bought the Pfaff 2058 sewing machine and also purchased the add-on "Creative Fabric Mover and Stitch Regulator" several years ago. And to my pleasant surprise, none of us enjoy using the "Creative Fabric Mover and Stitch Regulator"! Up until that time I thought it was just me, I spent good money on it so I'd better use it and enjoy it (self talk).!!! The reason I was pleasantly surprised was because they had the same complaints: too restrictive of a sewing area, too time consuming to set up... and mine has had a forward/backward sensor issue almost since day one. It was even replaced under warranty once and still has the same problem (long stitches in the forward/backward motion).
Consequently, I've been mainly doing stitch in the ditch quilit instead of all the above hassles. I've decided to pretend like I don't even own the thing and start meandering and other free motion quilting without the darn thing!!!
Does anyone else out there own one of these things? What do you think about it?
