recycled quilt

Here is a video showing how the Pfaff c-1100 pro works doing applique. I also wanted to show a tip how to use up old bobbins.

Im starting to really get used to and love the Smarter.

I wanted to add some thing to my review of the c-1100 pro. I still like the machine. But, there is something going on with the low bobbin light. It is coming on all the time. Its at the shop to get fixed as I type. I see that some of the Singer l-500's have had the same problem. And, some other Pfaff owners have had issues with the sensor going off at odd times.
