Frequently Asked Questions - All PFAFF® Machines

PFAFF® series are designed for different sewers: hobby™ is for beginners, passport™ is for portability, ambition™ offers great all-around features, expression™ is for quilters and garment sewers, and creative™ is for ultimate sewing and embroidery.

The exclusive Original IDT™ System is a hallmark of the PFAFF® brand and is available on most models, from the portable passport™ series all the way up to the top-of-the-line creative™ machines, ensuring perfect seams for every sewer.

Mechanical machines (like the smarter by PFAFF™ 160s) use manual dials for stitch selection and are known for their simplicity. Computerized machines offer push-button controls, LCD screens, and a wider variety of stitches and automated functions for greater creative control.

For the best results and to maintain your warranty, it is highly recommended to have your PFAFF® machine serviced by an authorized PFAFF® dealer. Their technicians are specially trained and use genuine PFAFF® parts to ensure peak performance.

All PFAFF® sewing machines are proudly developed and engineered in Germany. This legacy of German design and engineering ensures the highest standards of quality, precision, and innovation are built into every machine.
