If I had one thing to complain about it is the fact that the bobbin casing catches my seam allowance but even that it not a real issue. This machine is an absolute treat to use....and I sew every single day. Can't keep away from it. I am sure you will not be disappointed!
Don't you feel absolutely spoiled with this Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0? I sure do. As for the seam allowance issue, I read in a tip somewhere to put a piece of masking tape over that area which evens it out and you won't have the problem - haven't tried it as I just remembered it when reading it just now but it's an inexpensive worth the try fix. I can't fathom why that happened but they did just switch to the drop in bobbin case when Huskvarna/Viking took over and after the bobbin issues I had with my 2034, I'm so glad they did. I can cope with this easier better than the annoyance and expense of having to take my 2034 in annually to get that bobbin shuttle area cleaned out and reset. I asked them to teach me how and they said it would void my 20 year warranty if I went in to take care of it - well, 15 more years to go and then I'm learning how. LOL. I did keep my 2034 even though he wanted it as trade in on my 4.0. It's a wonderful 2nd machine plus when we did our quilted sweatshirts in class, I wanted a Pfaff for that handy dandy IDT feature. I love that almost every foot we own will work as a walking foot which makes this machine a true quilter, in my opinion.
