I love Pfaff machines. My primary machine is a Pfaff Quilt Expression 2.0. I call her my QE2. She's as big as an ocean liner and works just as hard. The Expression 3.0 and 4.0 have more stitches, auto thread cutter, start/stop button, etc. - all features I didn't think I needed and still don't miss. The large harp will handle large quilts and the darning foot is wonderfully smooth for FMQ. Priced around $1500. I got mine on sale for $1100 two years ago. I'm very happy with the investment. I also have a Brother SQ-9000 which works well for piecing and sewing GD's clothes, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the Pfaff for FMQ.
