Hello everyone :-) Any Pfaff Quilter Expression Owners?? I have been for the most part a 'lurker' and have enjoyed reading everyday all you have to post...and now I could sure use your help and advice.. I am afraid of a decision I made and now am a little worried for the following reasons... I just recently put a down-payment on a new Pfaff Quilt Expression 4. I am a
quilter...definately not "Show" quality guilter, but hope to be someday. I was
looking at and comparing the Pfaff QE4 and the Bernina 440. I really liked the
Bernina 440 and I have an old (25+ yrs) Bernina 910. I have always valued the
quality of Bernina. I am however on a limited budget (poor nurse) :-) so I
decided not to purchase the MUCH more expensive Bernina. With all that said...I
am feeling kind of sick now, because I have been looking on the internet at "the
reviews" of the QE4 and so far, most all of them have been horrible!! Many of the
posts were about the tension and the 'breaking of thread' frequently while
quilting? The #1 complaint mentioned was "Thread Jam" indicator showing on the
machine when no 'jam' had occurred. I really am scarred at this moment...feeling
like I got caught up in the salesman's pitch and jumped into something before I
did my research. Most of the comments I read on the internet are from 2009...so
does anyone knows if the machine I am buying soon is any different from the 2009
or not? This is a big purchase for me and now I am having second thoughts and
thinking about going back tomarrow and asking for my check back. Of note, the
dealer has been in business for many, many years, is local and is family owned.
Thank you all for any advice or comments...hope I can sleep tonight! The little
bit I sewed on the machine before making the 'down-payment' I Loved it!! Thank you for any response...good or bad r/t this machine.
