I found trying to learn FMQ a challenge with my 2044. (Could be an element of FMQ is not my favorite thing to do.)
I find straight line grids on small throws, baby quilts is the most I am willing to push through the small harp space.
Please note: I paid $400 in 2011 for my used Pfaff, manual, hard top cover, 5-6 feet, quilting bar and a buttonholer and a few spare items in the shelf/drawer thingy.
