Pfaff Performance 2058

The Pfaff Performance 2058 sewing machine is packed with specific features most often used in quilting. It has 241 computerized stitches and four different alphabets. It‘s equipped with adjustable foot pressure, helpful to quilters who work with varying thicknesses of fabric. Pfaff's performance programs allow the user to automate common tasks. Pfaff is known for its integrated walking foot system, called IDT, a feature especially helpful when quilting. Reviewers say the Pfaff 2058 sews straight, smooth seams, and they rave about the large touch-sensitive display screen that gives detailed settings information. If you're not a quilter or are on a budget, many electronic machines offer some of the same features for hundreds of dollars less, including the Brother PC-420 PRW Project Runway Limited Edition (*Est. $400).
