I just bought a Pfaff quilt expressions 4.0 new on Ebay. It is made in China. It is very similar to my Husky 875Q, except that it is much quieter. I also love the "fix" at the beginning of the sewing. It makes a tiny back and forth stitch. The 875Q did a lumpy knot which sometimes created a mess. I am getting used to it, just ordered the acrylic surround to fit in my sewing cabinet, and will try fmq when it gets delivered. The test sewing that I have done turned out excellent. The only issue is the feed dog drop switch, it lowers it, but to raise the feed dogs, I have to switch it back to up and turn the wheel towards me to engage the lift. The 10' throat is the same as the 875Q except that the height is over 1" greater which will make quilting a larger quilt easier. What was wrong with your pfaff?
