My good quilting buddy has a Bernina and when I watch her use it I'm green with envy. She loves it and knows how to use it, she is one of those quilters who can make miracles with any fabric.

I have both a Bernina and a Pfaff and love both of them.

How wonderful! I worked on the 9th floor at a unit secretary at OU Childrens Hospital in OKC and I had the honor of giving such quilts to the kids. I loved to see the smiles on the kids faces when we gave them the quilts. Keep up the great job. I'm sure your machine will serve you well.

I think you made a great choice. A Pfaff fan isn't going to much care for anything unless it was Pfaff and was probably trying to find something she didn't like about it.

You will love it!

After I got home I read one review from a Pfaff fan and she had one and hated it! Said it would not quilt worth a darn. I mainly use my machine for making donation quilts for the Children s Hospital here in Oklahoma City. If you have one of these machines, or know anything about them, please don't hesitate to comment. Not that I could do anything about it now!!
I do quite a bit of embroidery too. Right now I am making FSL butterflies for gifts using metallic threads. No problems, except for 1 spool of metallic thread, which I think is old, even tho I recently bought it. I have no idea why that person stated it would not quilt worth a darn. Take a look at this thread & you will see a queen size Lone Star quilt I made with lots of embroidery. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...r-t258053.html When doing embroidery on a quilt the main thing is to support the weight of the quilt so the embroidery arm can move freely. I'm working on a 2nd Lone Star, same pattern & embroidery for another friend. I highly suggest the 97D foot for piecing & the 10D for stitch in the ditch/edge stitching just left/right of the seam/ditch. I love the "D" feet. I also use the 34D clear foot alot. I think you will like this machine. Too bad you have to wait on classes. I had classes when I bought my 200E, but never took any classes when I got my 830E/LE machine....just did a quick pick up-go over & headed home with it. Have fun with your machine :). |
