I have the Pfaff equivalent of this machine (Grandquilter). It is a mechanical machine that only does straight stitch but it does those really fast. Nice throat opening. It takes a lot of oil and you need to figure out the tension settings and setup that suits that machine. Large bobbin - helps to have the extension guide to insert/set the bobbin. As far as I know it is not very picky with thread choices. Price is great.

a lady here in OK has one she used twice when she bought it..decided it was NOT for her and it has been in a closet ever since... she is asking $500 for it... any thoughts, comments, suggestions??? I am looking for something to use just for FMQ! |
I just bought this machine. I love it from what I have used it for thus far. It sews soooo much faster than my old machine. I paid 350. for mine used from a sewing machine shop. I have had problems with thread breaking but the guy will fix that for me when I take it in. Mine has the needle threader that I finally figured out how to use. :) I think I like that feature the best.

We've sat the machines side by side and they are pretty much equal in use and design. I have a 98TLQ for piecing and a 2010 on my frame and I think it's a pretty even machine. If you can get it for $500 I'd jump. Any chance you can sew with it prior to sale and make sure everything works?

That is the machine I used for FMQ until I bought my HQ16.
started using it again a couple of weeks ago for some very small projects. Go for it!! |
I used the YLI varigated on mine, thread only the first and third hole, skip the middle one. I used at least a size 14 needle. I kept a small sandwich to check tension on, with each bobbin change. I love the needle threader, works the best of any others I have.
