Just registered and am new to the board but I wanted to reply about the Pfaff QE4. Purchased mine last Aug and am in love w/it. No problems at all. Have had 2 other Pfaff machs. over the years and have nothing but great success with all. Even started free motion quilting. Read alot of negitives about the QE4 on another site after my purchase and got kinda scared. But I completed fmq 2 quilts and have pieced 3 lg quilts and 2 baby ones. Have been sewing since high school (clothes then) but only quilting now (best therapy in the world). Really enjoy this site
