Embroidery designs from Pfaff – a never-ending source
of ideas!

Get started right away!

When you purchase your Pfaff
a 225 x 140 mm (9" x 6") embroidery hoop and a quick
embroidery packet that contains fabric, stabilizer and
thread. Everything you need to start embroidering!

Easy positioning!

For perfect positioning, you can move your design in four
directions and rotate it in 90 degree steps.

To check the exact position of the embroidery on the fabric
in the hoop, just push the "Orbiting" button – this is extremely
helpful when you are positioning several designs right next to
each other. Designs can also be mirrored for more variety.

Your Pfaff
use for each embroidery.

No fabric slippage during embroidery!

Use the Basting function to prevent knit fabrics from
stretching and to fasten fabrics that you don’t want to
hoop. It can also be used to secure fabric pieces to
hooped stabilizers or fabric.

The Cut position moves the hoop for ward to give you
easy access to the hooped fabric.

Move through the entire design, stitch by stitch

No matter where you are in the embroidery, you can move
forward or backward, stitch by stitch or color by color, to
embroider only part of your design.

Many colors or just one?

The decision is yours! Just one touch and your Pfaff
