So on Tuesday I got the most lovely phone call from Liz's Sewing Centre in Boronia, to tell me that the machine had just arrived. Literally just arrived. The delivery man hadn't even left yet! But she knew how excited I was about my new baby, and called me straight away. Now, that is fantastic service. If you're a local, and looking for a new sewing machine, or wanting a quality service, check them out. The ladies are lovely and incredibly helpful.
So I spent a good portion of my Tuesday afternoon gently opening the box and lifting her out, reading the manual, and inspecting all the parts and bits and pieces. Oh, talk about such fun! So far all I have attempted to sew are some stitches on scraps, and a practice of the Free motion Quilting. There is a lot to this machine, and I know it will take me some time to get a feel of it, and learn how to use it properly. But, so far so good! I'm looking forward to writing some reviews on My Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0 shortly. I know I found it helpful reading reviews online by other bloggers of certain machines, so hopefully someone might find my reviews useful in time to come.
Till then, I'm off to go and sew! I have three quilts to finish, so my new baby better be prepared for a workout!

I have a Brother, it is a good small machine but hasn't given me any problems until a couple of weeks ago I did not know I needed to oil the under the bobbin and it dry out. other than that it has been great!
I have a Pfaff machine that I purchased about 15 years ago and I still love it. Nice to hear about the new ones.
Anythig that can do some free motion quilting for me would win hands down! I have a Janome 6600 which I am very happy with but I would change it to something like yours if I had the $$$$
Wow, so happy for you - may you both have a long and happily creative relationship :0). I have and lovingly use a Pfaff 1471 which is about 25 years old. It's had a few repairs done in the last year or 2, but is still a wonderful machine.
Hello! What a beautiful new machine!! I have a Janome Memory Craft 6500 and I love it! I make a lot fabric postcards and the decorative stitches I can use are beautiful. I have had her for about 5 years and have never had any problems at all. Two of my friends have Pfaffs and they just love them! I am sure your new baby will be the perfect one for you! Have fun!! Shannon :)
I was wondering if you are still loving your new Pfaff expression 4.0. I'm looking at purchasing one.
