My Pfaff Expression 2.0 turned 1 year old this month and it's the best investment I've made. After having a Singer for the last 10 years, which I loved, but the feed dogs didn't drop and the Pfaff has a lot of other nice quilting features. The Singer was more of a "sewing" machine. Good luck with your Pfaff. I'm sure you'll love it. Can't wait to see your first project.
