What’s in the box? | Unboxing the PFAFF admire Air 7000 by Margaret Sweete October 28, 2024 written by Margaret Sweete October 28, 2024 55 I’m so excited to open the PFAFF ADMIRE AIR 7000 box. I have had several different sergers over the years but never really bonded with them. Threading and adjusting tensions for stitches was a painful challenge every time I used them. However, with this new air threading feature, I’m looking forward to playing! PFAFF admire air 7000 box The first thing I see inside the box is the User Guides in English and French. And a laminated Quick Guide. This is new to me. It’s literally a cheat sheet made up of pictures of threading the serger in overlock and cover stitch mode. PFAFF admire air 7000 User Guide, in French and English, and the Quick Start Guide Standard PFAFF admire air 7000 Accessories in the box As I remove the User Guides, I see, in multiple Styrofoam cubbies, the standard serger accessories I expect to see with every coverstitch serger. The waste tray has a locking connection to keep it in place on the machine, as do the foot control and separate power cord. The coverstitch table B, the two pieces to the thread tree for serger cones or spools of thread, the soft dust cover to keep it clean, and the accessory box. In the accessory box, are the traditional serger accessories, plus some new ones. The allen key is used to loosen or tighten the needles in place. The needle threader is a simple manual method for threading your needle. It also has a hole in one end to hold the needle while removing or inserting it. The stylus is used for the touch screen, so we keep it clean of dirt. The threading wire is used to either clean the air threading tubes of lint or thread those oversized threads we like to use in the loopers. The sewing machine tube of oil is a true tell that, yes, indeed, a serger does need to be oiled! The use of the cleaning tools and oiling is covered in the Maintenance section of the User Guide, and yes, I had to look, because I was not actually sure where we oil a serger! The needle package is important as it tells us the brand and type of suggested needles we use in the serger. It’s so nice now that PFAFF has branded needles. It makes my life so easy when I need new ones, and I learned we can get these needles in bulk, too! I did learn once that a serger needle lasts about 6-8 hours of use, so for me, every new project requires a new needle(s).

Not only does it have a free arm, but you can extend your seating space! I love it! The knee-lifter is a unique item that attaches to the front. You can use your knee to raise (lift) the presser foot to adjust your fabric/project underneath. This gives you full control of your project at all times. This really helps me, as I always forget where the presser foot lever is!
