    This is my experience too. Bought my Pfaff in November and it's a joy to sew with, particularly appliqué. HOWEVER I can't get it to FMQ anywhere near as good as my Janome. It's been back at Pfaff a month now. Apparently the hook is not picking up the bobbin thread all the time. They've had it nearly longer than I have........grrrrrrrr.

    I always tell my kids to make up a pros and cons list when they have a hard decision to make. So list all the features of both machines and all the things you don't like. Also look at the warranty and where the service location is - close to home or an hour away. When you are done, you will know which machine would be the best choice.
