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.

PFAFF PFILES: 7500 Series - Top Ten Most Common Problems and How to Solve Them

I recently acquired a hard copy of this unusual (and seemingly homemade) problem-solving guide for the Creative 7500 series machines (specifically the 7550 & 7570), written by Steve Ward. Although the title says "Service Manual", it's mostly a simplified guide for troubleshooting common problems with these machines. It does however contain a few of the repair illustrations and self-test key functions from the genuine PFAFF service manuals.

Although this guide is short at only thirteen pages, it should serve especially useful for those who are usually too intimidated to work on their own machines, but have a small, common issue that can be fixed at home; possibly avoiding a costly trip to a technician.
