I have the 2056 and the QE4. Had issues with the machine unthreading when sewing, plus didn't like the 1/4" foot-pulled to one side. We have a great dealer in Regina - he replaced a part ( company fix for these machines) in the take up, and there is a new wider 1/4" foot that is wider on the left side, and not the right. Now the machine works great, I just finished free motion quilting a large baby quilt on it. I use a needle with a larger eye when free motion quilting. No problem going fast.
