Hi, I have been using my Pfaff 2170 for machine embroidery quilting for several years, not many designs out then, but now there are great designs. Just used a simple star design from Embroidery Library for a lap size quilt for the 90th birthday of a war veteran. It had an aged look center panel of red, white, and blue with small stars, did not want to just stitch the stripes, so did the stars in a random mode. The back was a dark blue, with white stars here and there. So called it "Stars in the Night". The borders were just straight line stitching. Can't do FMQ and prefer not an all over design, so machine embroidery works for me. Just remember no stabilizer needed. Try it you'll like it!
