Getting to know the PFAFF Quilt Expression™ 4.2 by Jean Boyd April 17, 2017 written by Jean Boyd April 17, 2017 1.1K There’s always excitement when a new sewing machine lands on your doorstep. Last week I received a PFAFF Expression™ 4.2. Many thanks to Donna and Paul Taylor of Taylor Sewing Centre in Brockville for lending me this machine for my QUILTsocial blog posts. Be sure to check out Taylor’s web site to see all their PFAFF machines and quilting supplies. There’s always a bit of a learning curve when using a new machine, but I found this machine to be very user-friendly. I had no problem setting it up and starting to sew. The manual for the machine is easy to follow and has great illustrations. PFAFF Quilt Expression™ 4.2 Jennifer Houlden, another QUILTsocial blogger, reviewed this machine in 2014. She did a wonderful job of showing all the basics of the machine, so I’m not going to repeat what she has already done.
