I have a Pfaff tiptronic 2030 that I bought in 2001 specifically to quilt. Love it. I have been able to do fmq quite well with it. I only wish it had more fancy stitches. I am going to try rulers so I can do more designs. I get yearly maintanence done and have only replaced the needle lever once. Have had no other problems. I can't justify the cot of a new machine if I can master the ruler work.
