Frequently Asked Questions - PFAFF® Machines for Home Décor

Yes, PFAFF® machines are known for their power and piercing ability. Models in the expression™ and creative™ series, combined with the IDT™ System, can easily handle thick materials like upholstery fabric, canvas, and multiple layers of denim for any home décor project.

The IDT™ System is perfect for home décor as it prevents tricky fabrics like velvet from creeping and ensures perfect matching of patterns on upholstery. It also provides excellent control when sewing bulky layers for projects like pillows with piping.

The PFAFF® expression™ line is specifically designed with a large throat space—the area to the right of the needle. This provides ample room to maneuver and support bulky projects like curtains, duvets, and slipcovers with ease.

For durable home décor, you'll need a strong straight stitch and zigzag stitch. PFAFF® machines also offer a wide array of decorative stitches that are perfect for adding custom embellishments to pillows, table runners, and draperies.

To make home décor sewing easier, use a PFAFF® non-stick foot for vinyl, a piping foot for professional corded edges, and heavy-duty PFAFF® needles (size 100/16 or 110/18) to penetrate thick fabrics without skipping stitches.
