I have had the dealer look at it several times and he did put about 6 factory fixes on the machine. Still no good. I am so disappointed with this machine but am stuck. I wanted the longer throat and scissor cutter that's why I bought it. It works well for piecing but not free motion quilting.
I use my 2.0 for FMQ all the time. The larger throat was one of the features I bought it for. It has made me into a much better quilter!! Can't imagine why you are having trouble. I belong to a Pfaff Club and everyone does FMQ with their Expressions.
