Pfaff 4.0 Expression Arrives

My new Pfaff 4.0 Expression arrived today by courier from Waterford, and I dubbed it Nelly. It is an incredible machine. Everything is done automatically, even the presser foot. Boy, do I have to get used to all of this technology. I keep on going to where the lever was for the presser foot, and trying to lift and lower something that is not there anymore. Now, there is just a button to push. It has a massive 10 inch bed space, and 222 stitches, including quilt stitches and needle art stitches. There are dual lights, and that makes it so much easier to see when you are sewing. I will be reading the manual tonight. I was just thrilled that I could thread the machine, wind the bobbin and figure out all the basics, so that I was sewing two siggy blocks with it. It is incredible, and it will be such fun learning all the features. It came with an extension table and a huge Pfaff Travel Case that has a handle and wheels. You can see all the features at http://www.pfaffmachines.co.uk/Pfaff/pfaff-quilt-expression-4.0.htm
Tomorrow, I continue to learn, and I will sew my Christmas House Block quilt. It is definitely the best sewing machine that I ever had!
