I quilt with a Pfaff Grand Quilter. It only has a straight stitch and a 9" throat which is nice for quilting. I've had it a few years. Dani

I love my Pfaff 1471!! But my DDDDDDH just got me a Pfaff Creative Vision 5.0 for my birthday!!!! I'm getting used to it now and I think I'll love it for years to come, too! Still have and use my trusty 1471, though!

I use the only machine I have for this and that is the Janome
Memory Craft 6500....The Pfaff is for the medium arm quilter.

I use my Pfaff for piecing and my New Home for quilting an embroidery. Love them both.

I use my Singer Simple 3116 that DH bought me 4 years ago from Walmart for less the $200 when I first started to learn. I use it to piece since I hand quilt.

Beautiful work indeed!!! Makes me want to hand quilt although I know I would never measure up to your outstanding work. Keep it up, please.

I had to settle for straight lines :?

I have the same machine from WM and some times I like it better then my BabyLock ProLine......I use it more for FMQ then the BABYLOCK.
It has many more decorative stitches then my BL......I really like it.
I was told that it's sort of tricky to use for free motion embroidery.
