PFAFF PFLASHBACK: Creative 1471 - Experience Creativity Without Limits

PFAFF Presents: creative 1471 - Experience creativity without limits

 

PFAFF Educational Consultant Teri Angeline Wasserbach makes it easy to learn how to use the computerized Pfaff Creative 1471 and helps owners realize their full creative potential.

An accomplished seamstress and fashion designer, Ms. Wasserbach covers the basics of operating the machine and points out the machine’s controls and functions. She demonstrates the many unique features of the Pfaff Creative 1471, such as its 32 computer memories, built-in electronic instruction guide, automatic needle threader and exclusive built-in dual feed walking foot.

She discusses wide varieties of the machine’s 180 built-in stitch programs and shows how the computer can modify or combine them to create a virtually unlimited number of stitch designs. Ms. Wasserbach also explains the Creative 1471’s innovative free programming feature and shows how users can create their own stitch programs and actually sew any design they can sketch.

If you have older VHS tapes or DVDs that you would like to donate to be digitally transferred and added to the PFAFF Talk YouTube channel, please send an email. I am currently looking for older Sewing With Nancy episodes and video releases (up to 2005); as well as official PFAFF instructional, starter guide, and promotional videos (up to 2005).

PFAFF PFIX-IT: Detachable Work Support/Accessory Tray Compatibility List

I frequently receive questions from PFAFF owners regarding the compatibility of detachable work supports. Many people have and will purchase a used PFAFF machine with a missing or broken work support. With there being so many different types, and with some of them being almost identical, it can be very confusing to find the correct replacement.

In the future, I will update this post with photographic examples and part numbers of each work support type to create a more thorough list, but for now this should serve as a basic guideline for anyone needing to find a replacement for their machine.

The following is a list of all of the different types:

Type 1: 1006 through 1171, 1371 and the entire 1400 series (with some having different accessory trays depending on whether or not it's an IDT/IDF dual feed machine)

Type 2: 6000 series, Hobbymatic series

Type 3: 1500/6100/6200 series

Type 4: 7510/7530/7550

Type 5: 7570

Type 6: 7560

Type 7: 2000 and 2100 series


For those who are looking for a replacement work support, I recommend searching eBay, or contacting Brubaker's Sewing Center.
