I just purchased the Pfaff expression 2.0. I really like it so far. Anyone else have one and what do you think sbout it? Also I got it in sale at my local Pfaff dealer for $995. Regular retail was $1500. I am new to quilting,but I researched it on the Net. Please tell me it is a good machine for quilting and that I got a good deal:)

I do not know anything about Pfaff's, but i am sure you got a great machine! You must be just over the moon with your new baby! Congrats! did you name her yet?! ;)

I have a Pfaff 7550 Sew Creative that I've had for about 8 years now. It's a bit of a diva and is very particular about which thread I use, but otherwise I love it. Purrs like a kitten. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

I learned how to sew on a Pfaff! I wish I had one. I'm trying to talk my mom into giving that machine since she bought a new Pfaff, but no luck so far. :(

I have the Pfaff expression 2, was a xmas present, I love it. I haven't had a computerized machine before, so it has taken some getting used to......I'm sure you will be very happy with your new machine! :D

Oh, I should have said how lucky you were for getting it at that price. I'm in Australia, mine was $1,699, reduced as a xmas special from $1,999. :?

My Pfaff 7570 just bit the bullet. I love that machine. Tomorrow I'm going to purchase the Janome 6600.

I have a Pfaff 1473 that I've been sewing on since around 1990. I absolutely love it--I have 3 other machines (4 counting my Juki) and the Pfaff is the one I sew on the most. The Juki is on my quilting frame. I'm sure I know which store you bought it at and I love dealing with them. They are great--I always go by there when I go to Lexington.

I bought it at Sew a Lot in Hamburg Pavillion. The staff there is very knowledgeable.

I am just learning all the neat stuff it can do. Is that your dog in the picture? I have a little beagle named Sam and I had a beagle named Barney who passed away in '98 at he age of 14.

Congratulations!! I know you will love it

I also have a Pfaff 7550 and it has been a good machine although it has more bells and whistles than I really use. I keep thinking I should get something of a workhorse machine and keep the Pfaff for the fancy stuff since that is what it is meant for

I have a Pfaff 7550 and 2144 with all the upgrades. I love Pfaff machines. They run so smoothly and the stitching is beautiful. My dealer has "Pfaff Club" once a month. We get together ina group and see the latest things and have show and tell. Your dealer will help you learn how to make the most of our machine. You can't go wrong with Pfaff.

I have a Pfaff 1471, which I think is their first computer machine. My husband bought it used for me about 16 years ago and I absolutely LOVE it! I do all my piecing and small project FMQ on it and I will be so sad when it quits working. I have a Pfaff Grand Quilter that I FMQ large items on. I bought it with a Next Generation quilt frame but we moved shortly after I bought it and now I don't have room for it. Will be selling the frame.

I have 2 Pfaffs - one over 25 years old - and a 2170 - and I love them. You did get a good deal price -wise, too. The walking foot is the BEST thing ever!!

I have a very light-weight basic Pfaff that I bought about 25 years ago; several years later when I went to the same dealer to upgrade, he was no longer selling Pfaff. I am now the owner of 3 Janome machines, but the little Pfaff still gets used sometimes. Although I like my Janomes, I would prefer Pfaff, but am not driving through heavy metro Atlanta traffic to a Pfaff dealer.

One of my machines is a Pfaff....it is wonderful for quiilting. I am sure you will like it :) Sounds as though it was a good deal to me. YOU DID GOOD GIRL!

and welcome from PA

Any new machine is a great machine! Congratulations!

You will enjoy the Janome 6600. Don't forget to join the yahoo group...it is Janome 6500. This machine is incredible. You will use the automatic thread cutter for your piecing and the built in accufeed system....no more bulky walking foot!
Congratulations!

I have had Pfaff's for the last 10 years, many many models. I love them and wouldn't have anything else!

I have a Pfaff 7570 & I use it all the time for sewing & quilting. I am not brave enough to try free motion but use it for QITD. I would love to have the stitch regulator but can't afford it. I, too, have found it is picky about the thread but so long as I stick to good thread it & I are both happy. LOVE this group :) :)

I have a 1423 Pffaf machine and I consider it to be my best friend! It is a real work horse and has been with me all over the world. It is 18 years old and still purrs like new. It does anything I ask of it too - except make a cup of tea! LOL.
I hope you get to love your machine as much.

I had a Pfaff 1222 that I bought in 1977. It was the top-of-the-line machine then. I just got rid of it in 2008 when I bought the Bernina 730. I loved it. It was a terrific machine. I gave it to my daughter. I don't know how long it will last her as it was starting to make a grinding noise and then slowing down. Then it would pick up again and be fine. If I had known how much I was going to miss the dual feed on it, I would have stuck to a Pfaff. But the Bernina is a really good machine and the dealer is close, which made it good for the lessons. I understand the new one has the dual feed. Should have waited a few months! Story of my life--too soon or too late! I'm sure you will enjoy your new machine!

I just bought a new Pfaff Quilt Expressions 4.0 and I love, love, love it. I had a Babylock embroidery machine and had nothing but trouble with it. I never used the embroidery part so decided I would sell it and buy me the machine I always had wanted. I bought it at Road To California show for $1999, it is usually $3999. I have been doing piecing and also Free Motion Quilting on it and I can't get enough of it. I also have an Elna 6005 that I bought about 10 years ago and I also love that machine for taking to classes. You will love your Pfaff. The best part of all is the IDT part. No more putting that clunky walking foot on the machine every time you need it. Congrats on your new machine.

I am new to QB but I have owned a Pfaff 262 since 1968 (I was only 20 then) and now in addition have a Pfaff 2170 and have also bought an antique Pfaff 130 with "the coffee grinder". I also belong to a yahoo group called "Old Pfaffies". Their is no 12 step cure to our addictions! I love my Pfaffs!

Have you looked at Babylock? The Espire is a great machine for quilting. I use it when we meet at our local Project Linus group and it works great.

I have a Babylock Esante, previously a B/L Quilters Choice and love both these machines.

I have a Pfaff 2030 I bought in 2000...I love it! I had a mechanical Pfaff before that, and traded it in on the computerized 2030. Best Pfaff feature is the built in even feed, you don't need a big dorky walking foot to quilt. I just use my open toe foot so I can see where the needle is going, while doing stitch in the ditch.

I have an Expression 4.0 and like other owners, love, love, love it. I also own four other sewing machines and a serger but love my 4.0 the best. I hug her at least once a day!! lol

Congrats on the new machine. Have no idea what it is but if you like it that is waht counts. Many happy sewing Miles to you

Love my Pfaff, 7570 and 2140. Both are real work horses.
I use both for quilting and embroidering The 2140 does not a certain shade of blue Anton thread, other colors no problem. Who knows why. I would not part with either Pfaff. Two sewing friend also are Pfaff owners, other sewing friend has a Bernia regrets not getting a Pfaff.

I have a Pfaff expression 2034 and I have had her since 2005. I call her "Priscilla Pfaff" and she is a great machine.

congrats on your new machine

Finally got my Janome 6600 yesterday. Played with it for a couple of hours. I think I'll be very happy with it once DH gets it in my cabinet. Then I went to the FW to finished piecing. I like to sew a top on the same machine from start to finish.

I never thought of naming my Pfaff. I just tell my husband the I am going to fire up the Pfaff and sew a while.

I owned the Pfaff 2034 for 5 years and love it. Had the opportunity to buy the new Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0 last fall and decided to go for it as it has the larger quilting area and was amazed at how well I took to this new Pfaff. I just love it but I am a hand quilter who machine pieces. I am learning to do some simple machine quilting but hand quilting is my preference. I recently had a free class on the machine and since it's my second Pfaff, the teacher suggested I take it home, see how I do and come in with a list of questions which is what I did. Had her demo free motion quilting for me and it does and awesome job of it. Eventually I'd like to learn how to do it just because . . . but I'm a hand quilter by preference. The 2.0 is the previous model of my 4.0 so I'm sure you made a good choice. Keep your owners guide handy and you should be just fine. If you do run into trouble, you should have at least one free class from your dealer as I was told I have unlimited free classes if needed but I suspect she knew that with me, it wouldn't be needed as I'm determined to do as much as possible on my own.

New to the list and let's see if my photos come through. I've enjoyed lurking for about 3 weeks now and decided I had to reply to this email.

Your work is beautiful.

Very nice!

Beautiful quilts. i think I want a Pfaff Quilt Expression machine. Already have 2 Pfaffs they would love to have new sibling.
