Pfaff 2046
I purchased a Pfaff 2046 in 2006 and have had nothing but trouble with it. The machine starts acting up by skipping a few stitches on the bottom thread, then it gets so bad that it does not hold a stitch. The machine has been in the shop 6 times. BUT the good news is I found a repairman in Fort Collins, Colorado that has fixed it. He put in a new hook assembly. It cost me $450.00 but it seems to have fixed my machine. The machine has a poor design in the bobbin area when it was made and the company has come out with this "fix". But they will not cover the cost of repair. I love the dual feed that the Pfaff has so I did not want to trade it for a different brand. But this machine has tried my patience. I hope it is finally fixed. I just wanted to let my fellow quilters know of this "fix". Happy sewing!
