It is the 2058 and it is sitting in the closet. One of these days I plan to sell it. Just because I don't get along with it (nothing wrong with the machine after all) doesn't mean it can't be a good machine for someone else.
I ended up buying the Babylock Espire and LOVELOVELOVE her."Quilla" is a real lady. I took the classes for the machine and got to know her well. Now I am taking quilting classes so I get better at the FMQ. All of my projects so far have been small practice pieces but I don't know why she wouldn't quilt a large quilt. The throat space is nice and open! Much bigger than on the Pfaff.
The other gals in the class have either Janome or Pfaff and they are continually fighting with their bobbin tension. My Babylock has not given me any grief NO MATTER how the tension was set. No rats nests, no tangles and when the stitches were pulled it was user error (too little gas - too tight turns)
