Unleash your quilting creativity with the PFAFF passport 2.0: Lots to love! by Claire Haillot April 17, 2023 written by Claire Haillot April 17, 2023 269 Welcome everyone! I’m back for another week of great ideas to get you to explore your quilting abilities while discovering the PFAFF passport 2.0 sewing machine. If you’re a quilting enthusiast, you know how important it is to have a reliable sewing machine even when you are heading out to a quilting class or retreat. The PFAFF passport 2.0 is a perfect sewing machine for beginners just as much as it is for more seasoned quilters looking for a lighter sewing machine to carry around. Your PFAFF passport 2.0 is ready to go wherever you go. The PFAFF passport 2.0 is loaded with features and designed for on-the-go convenience, thanks to its lightweight and compact design. Weighing in at only 13.9 lbs / 6.3 kg, this sewing machine is perfect for taking to classes or travelling. It also makes it perfect for use in small spaces as it takes up minimal shelf storage when you can’t quite make time for quilting. This sewing machine offers you no limits, just the freedom to create wherever and whenever you want. The PFAFF passport 2.0 features One of the standout features of the PFAFF passport 2.0 is the Original IDT System, which precisely feeds all types of fabric from the top and bottom for perfect stitching every time. This feature is unique to PFAFF machines and ensures you get even fabric feed without any puckering or stretching. The PFAFF passport 2.0 also comes with a large number of stitches, including 70 beautiful 7mm stitches, utility stitches, buttonholes, decorative stitches, quilt stitches, needle art stitches, and satin stitches. You also get a beautiful applique pin stitch that’s easy to achieve and customizable. Your PFAFF passport 2.0 is loaded with great features. What makes the PFAFF passport 2.0 fantastic is that, although it’s a small-sized machine, it has great features that are usually only for higher-priced machines. Features such as: Start/Stop button, which allows you to sew without the foot control. Full control over your sewing speed with the speed slider. External Feed Dog Drop feature lets you conveniently lower the feed dogs from the back of the free arm to get started with your free-motion quilting project. LED lights that illuminate your sewing area without shadows. Built-In needle threader. Needle up/down positioning. Immediate tie-off. To help you get started with your PFAFF passport 2.0, I prepared two videos. The first video demonstrates how to thread the sewing machine. Let’s face it, it can get quite stressful and confusing when threading your machine. So, I made the video to guide you through the process and understand where your tension problems can potentially come from, as threading your machine correctly is key to great tension. Ever wondered how to position your thread spool on a machine? I’m sure you’re not alone. That’s why I made the second video to show how to position a large or small spool horizontally for sewing. It’s important to note that only specialty threads should be positioned vertically on a sewing machine. The PFAFF passport 2.0 is a high-quality, reliable, and versatile sewing machine that’s perfect for all types of sewing projects. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced sewing enthusiast, this machine is sure to take your sewing to the next level. So come back tomorrow when I show you how I made various placemats using the machine to explore color and movement in quilting projects. So, join me with the PFAFF passport 2.0 and experience the freedom to create.
