I am considering buying used to get more machine for my $$. I love my Elna Quilters Dream and if I could find I would to buy another one. Mine is in for cleaning and the needle is out of line so that needs to be fixed. I probably have 100000 miles on it, LOL. I am afraid it will give up on me and I won't have a backup.
Thanks for any input.
I have a Pfaff 2046 and absolutely love it for regular sewing/quilting. It has been a true workhorse. This is the machine I take to classes and retreats. I love the triple stitch.
I use this machine for FMQ on my smaller projects and love the results.
I did get an extra bobbin case for doing bobbin work as i didn't want to mess with my 'regular' bobbin case. I didn't buy the gold colored one, just another plain bobbin case and put it in a marked small baggie, and a 1/4" guide with flange foot. Pfaff feet are affordable. I waited til there was a sale on the feet and have gradually bought what all I wanted.
Hope this helps. PM if you want to ask more.
