Re: 2044 2046 or Janome
I totally disagree with deedeew! I had a lowline Pfaff for seven years that I quilted so many quilts on... never had it professionally cleaned or tuned until just before I traded it - it was a workhorse and never gave me one problem.

I just purchased a 2044 last month for $1500 and already I can tell you that it sews like a dream! I also have a Bernina 180E that I use for embroidery and some quilting. Love my Bernina, but would never be without a Pfaff. I get PERFECT 1/4" seams, and nothing quilts like a Pfaff. For precision sewing, Pfaff is excellent.

Pfaff's are meaty, quality machines. That's not to say that some models (like the 2054) haven't been without their problems. Other than the 2054, I haven't seen a Pfaff model with consistent problems. There are horror stories with every manufacturer and you will always hear about a lemon here or there.

If I couldn't have gotten a hold of a 2044, I would have purchased the 2034. The 2046 has a few more quilt stitches than the 2044, but I couldn't justify the price difference.
