This video also applies to the creative 2144 & 2170 models.


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.

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.
