Sewing Machines Direct come highly recommended from many. They are a great company, excellent customer service. It really is good to see positive comments as lets face, it we all spend many hours pondering which machine to buy!
yup! pfaff is like the rolls royce of sewing machines! so jealous! e,joy!
Mellie aww, they are all great these days, we don’t need much in terms of functionality 🌷💐
Lovely new sewing machine Cheryl I am happy you have a new machine. I completely forgot to say thank you for my beautiful fabric I ordered from you beautifully wrapped with some lovely touches. Much appreciated Happy Easter to you happy sewing 😊😊
Have fun with your new machine Cheryl! SMD are excellent - I have used them before and have found that thread pack so useful. Rarely need to buy matching thread now.
I also love your top. It only looks handmade in the nicest possible way - it is unique and well made using lovely quality fabric. Much nicer than RTW! I didn’t like when people would ask if I had made a garment myself thinking that it must look homemade until a friend told me that the only reason she asked was because she never saw any thing half as nice in the shops which I thought was a lovely compliment. Ever since I take much more pride in my handmade clothes and you should too as they are beautiful.
I agree, sewing machines direct are just great, I bought my machine from them a few years back. Great review of your lovely shiny machine......enjoy!
Sarah Liptrot thanks Sarah 🌷
I bought my machine from them too and received the additional bits, I can also highly recommend their aftercare service. I had an issue trying to do freehand machine embroidery, the chap I spoke to was really helpful and solved my problem. I would only buy a machine from them now, they are great!
Sew_ PrettyKitty that’s great to know, thank you 🌷
Cheryl, I so liked the idea of your new sewing machine - especially as you have done all the research. I mentioned it to my husband who has offered to buy me one . Woopdedoo!!!
Exciting getting a new sewing machine. Looking forward to a machine review.
I'm so happy for you. A new machine is always great to have and they can do so many wonderful things. You can use the stitches if you think about things to do. I demonstrated machines at one time and had lots of fun dreaming up projects to use different features.
Susan Mazzanti thank you Susan 🌷Wow, sounds like a lovely job, you must know lots of tips 👍🏻
Just keep trying things and having fun. You learn as much or more from the fails as the ones that work. I am still learning and hope I do so for the rest of my life.
I also have a phaff sewing machine called a craft pro, which has a walking foot like yours! It is for quilting! I just love it. I have had it for quite awhile. You will love your machine! Good for you! 💕
Lise Gamache thanks Lise 🌷💖
I bought the Pfaff Ambition 155 last November. I LOVE it! IDT is amazing!
Tanya Pitre yayyy 🎉 thanks Tanya 🌷
No, it doesn't look homemade, Love it. Sweatshirts are the best in the winter!!!
Always love your vlogs - have fun with the new machine!
Lynn May thanks Lynn ☺️
Your fabric description bit at the end of your video was so super useful to those of us just starting out! Thank you very much for passing on all your experience, it's great. Excellent news on the purchase of your new machine! Enjoy getting to know it haha :)
Jodie Barnett thanks Jodie 🌷 Hee hee, me and Mr Pfaffie are going to get along just fine 💖
It is so much fun seeing sewists and their new machine 😀🙆 It looks like a terrific model. Adore that velour too😍
Cloth and the Machine thank you so much, I do love a bit of new tech 😃🌷
Lv your new machine the IDT technology is fab, enjoy enjoy hope your business prospers. Happy Easter season
I love your top! I don’t think it looks homemade at all. I so enjoyed seeing your new machine.
Heather Hancsak thanks Heather 🌷💐
Thanks Cheryl, fab video as always! Love your spotty Linden! Now to resist the temptation to look for a new machine.... 🙈 xx
Katrina Harborne thanks Katrina 🌷
My 24 year old Pfaff Creative 1472 is still going strong!! Aside from the built in walking foot, the needle up/needle down feature is amazing. It was so helpful when I was sewing draperies and other home decor items. Enjoy playing with your new machine!! I also have a Pfaff serger(overlocker) that is 26 years old!
Sherry G thanks Sherry 🌷Yes, I’m loving the needle up/down feature too 👍🏻 And the one step buttonhole is a work of magic 😃
How exciting!! Congratulations! I bought a used Pfaff 1475cd about 18 years ago, and even used it was two thousand dollars. It's been a workhorse and has the IDT. The lady that sold it to me stitched out samples of all the stitches (especially the various buttonholes) and I continue to use it as a reference.
sewgatormomm that’s a great idea! 🌷
Ahhhhhh! Cheryl another great video:) love you! I have Babylock for quilting but know I wish I had a pfaff because of the waliking foot: thank you for a wonderful video. Love you forever:) from a USA New Hampshire fan girl! Mwah!
Have a sewtastic experience with the Pfaff and thank you for youre video!
Ruby Star thank you Ruby 🌷
Lovely Machine !! I too can recommend 'Sewing machines Direct' ,I got my Frister Rossman Quilters Edition about 3 years ago as the price was really good and the 'Freebies were unbelievable' I got a 100 boxed set threads ,similar set scissors as yours, extra feet. I did have a hiccup with the machine but they collected it phoned me to go over the problem then delivered it back within a couple of days at no cost to me,there delivery is second to none,then I got my Brother Overlocker, I love my overlocker !! so yes 'Sewing Machines Direct' are one to go to and get a 10/10 from me.
You made the right choice. I have two Pfaffs, an embroidery/sewing machine and a sewing machine. You will absolutely love it.
Barbara Lies thanks Barbara 🌷
Congratulations on your new machine Cheryl! How much fun it will be to play :) It's lovely and what an amazing bargain you got and all unexpectedly...and for them as well to find out you're a popular youtube sewist who is only too happy to recommend them :) I've never had a Pfaff - I bought a new Elna Excellence 780 last year which I'm still learning all the things it does. Your champagne valour is beautiful.
Kathleen Meadows thank you so much Kathleen 🌷 Yes it does really show that word-of-mouth is so important 👍🏻 The Elna machines are fabulous 🌷
The sewing machine looks great, hopes it gives you many years of happy and reliable sewing. With so many different machine brands out there it is sometimes hard to find a sewing machine that is well priced and sews well.
Vera Griffin thanks Vera 🌷💐 I know right? Too much choice 😃
Just found your Channel. I have a pfaff quilt ambition 2 love it 💕
Julie H56 thanks Julie, they’re fab are’t they? Loving mine 👍🏻🌷
Oh, how exciting. I'm a Pfaff girl, too, and the IDT... you get used to it veeeerrrry quickly, then it ruins you for other machines.
Loving the fabric reviews!!! Thank you for your time and knowledge!
Diane Gould thanks Diane 🌷
You should order Madam Sew which has 32 different presser feet and a bonus sewing foot gauge that you remove from your sewing machine and place the bonus one and you can use all the presser feet from Madam Sew. I have a Brother Project Runway $89 but cost $200 on a Black Saturday discount. Also, I can use the Madam Sew pressure feet regardless of installing the bonus pressure foot main tool. The Brother Project Runway will be a sewing machine for me until infiniti because of the 80 sew/quilt stitches, auto threader, non mobilizer control, 8 button hole designs and a lot more. If I need to upgrade in the future, I was looking at the Baby Lock which has a lazer to guide the sewer seam allowance and being able to quilt also.great video, Have fun sewing.
The Good Life ooh I haven’t heard of that, will have a look 👍🏻🌷Your machine sounds fab, they are all really great these days aren’t they? 😊
Hi Cheryl. Brilliant vlog my lovely. The Pfaff looks lovely and what fab free gifts... AND a discount!!! I AM IMPRESSED!. By the way... i love your jumper and NO it does not look home made. I enjoyed learning about Velour fabric too. I might make something from it. Sending love from Deepest, Darkest Devon. xxx
Lisa Fenn thank you lovely Lisa 😘🌷
Yay i love my pfaff ive got a quilt ambition 2.0 had it for over 3 years and its amazing. You will love it.
Greeniebobs lovely 👍🏻💖
Another great vlog post Cheryl, it's like chatting to a more savvy sewing pal 😊. So exciting to have a new machine, pity I can't justify one as my Janome's only 3 and works fine. I was amazed to hear you've been managing til now with such basic machines!
I plan to make a Linden today so I hope it looks as good as yours - doesn't look homemade to me.
Clare Thornley ahh, thank you Clare, that’s a lovely thing to say 💐 Yes, it really does show we don’t need much tech to sew some lovely things 👍🏻 Good luck with your Linden, it’s a fab pattern. The seam allowance is less than usual - almost always catches me out 😃🐝🌷
PFAFF - in my opinion - is one of the best brands out there - mainly because of the IDT-system which is really great!
Marge719 thanks, it’s been really useful already 👍🏻🌷
I have a pfaff tipmatic 6152, which sat in a cupboard for 10 years not touch. 12 months ago started sewing again after getting it serviced and she work really well. I would recommend pfaff to anyone.
Loved the fabric! I had to fast forward over the sewing machine bit because I knew I'd be wanting one!! Lucky you x
Beautiful top 😀 the contrasting cuffs and band make it a special one of a kind. I'm a big fan of Pfaff! You'll love using it for years to come! And they were very generous with the freebies 😀 I had one for 26 years, the last time I took it in for service, the repair guy said he didn't want to see this machine again...this was way before we had internet access or ever heard of you tube,
Years down the road , I realize it probably could have been fixed. I am currently working on a Janome. I don't hate it, but I miss my Pfaff. I appreciate your new segment discussing various fabric types. Have a great day!
Janice K thank you Janice 🌷 Wow, 26 years is great value 👍🏻
Brilliant place to by from Cheryl. Superb customer service. Have bought all 4 of my machines.
angela earp thanks Angela, great to know 🌷👍🏻
I LOVE Sewing Machines Direct. I had such a great experience with their company and cannot recommend them highly enough. I loved getting the freebies too, teehee. Such a fantastic company.
Crafty Loops yayy, they’re fab aren’t they? 💖
I have a Juki 1541 walking foot, one recommendation is to put a servo motor on your industrial machine. They are way easier to control and can sew very slow. And they are pretty cheap.
adam cain thanks Adam, never thought of switching the motor 👍🏻
Yeah servo motors are almost pretty much silent and we use them for sewing leather goods. Since they are the best for control. They run from $100 and up but the cheap ones work great the more expensive ones have inputs for needle positioning.
Hi, my 25 year old Pfaff died yesterday. I took it in for service and they said it will only sew straight, no more design or backwards. So I thought let me see who on You Tube is talking about machines. I was so happy to see you have joined the team. I'm now doing my research for my next Pfaff. Loved watching you. I have subscribed. Thank you. Phyllis
Phyllis Chaluisant ahh, fab timing 😃 Thank you Phyllis and may your Pfaff rest in peace 💖
Nice machine! I like the quick flick walking foot.
thanks Jay, it's fab.
Ooo!! Your new machine is a beauty - happy sewing with it! Also, I love your spotty top, going to have a look at the fabric now. Lynne
Ozzy Blackbeard thanks Lynne 🌷💐
I LOVE your top and the contrasting details. Perfection. What fun, what fun to have a new sewing machine. Pfaff is a wonderful brand. I hope you are able to get a serger (overlocker) and a cover stitch machine as well. I have a Babylock Triumph which does both (I’m very spoiled!) and love it. The jet-air threading is amazing. It’s so fun to try out new machines. Enjoy!
I have used Sewing machines direct and they are brilliant, love the fabric you have your Linden in.
Love your new machine Cheryl. Would love to see stichybee sewn into one of your makes - love that! I do love the champagne velour you showed. I think that would make a really nice hoody and jogger set from Tilly's new book - can't recall its name. Also love the linden you're wearing. That and all of the things you wear don't look handmade at all! Great video as always, thanks for sharing and happy easter to you too xx
sewagnes thank you so much Agnes 🌷 I’m loving the look of Tilly’s hoodie - can’t wait to make it. Have a lovely weekend 💖🐥
Thank you, that was a great help! I'm only a beginner and I bought both of my starter machines - sewing machine & overlocker - from Sewing Machines Direct. I will keep the Pfaff in mind for the future. I love your top and the reversible fabric! And I look forward to your projects from Tilly's book, as I bought that one too! I only sew stretch fabrics at present, because the fitting of wovens frightens me! Also, the number of pattern pieces! LOL. TFS xx
Now working!
Lovely machine! I have a janome 525sewist which is a workhorse! Then I upgraded after some serious saving to a janome horizon 8900 special edition which is a fairly expensive machine . I bought janome as they have a good rep and the shop I bought from deals only in janome and thought it made sense for servicing etc . But love that feature on your foot - cool! Think your makes are always lovely and never look homemade ☺
Barbara Cartwright thanks Barbara, yes the Janome is fabulous, I very nearly chose one. Most machines these days are great, a bit like cars, you can’t go too wrong really with modern machines 👍🏻🌷
I can also recommend sewing machines direct they are a great company to buy from. I love your top it’s really lovely with the contrast cuffs.
Congratulations on your new machine...... enjoy 🤗
I bought my Elna machine and my brother embroidery machine from sewing machine direct fantastic service I am lucky to only live about one hour from them as they are based in Wrexham so I take the machine for servicing there too, can’t recommend them enough. Enjoy your machine
Picketystich life is sew creative ooh lovely, yes I looked up their shop online and really fancy a visit. Thank you 🌷🐝
Great video, Happy Easter to you as well.
Sue MacLeod thanks Sue 🌷🐥🐥🐥
Love your new machine. Nice fabric. Have fun sewing, later.
Rosalind Hamilton thank you Rosalind 💖
How exciting Hope you will bevery happy with it. I brought a Janome 6600 13 years ago for my Quilting and then started full time work so I still haven't tried some of its functions ! For my dressmaking I got a pretty basic Janome ( I work at a Janome centre so good for service) it is great does all I need re sewing clothes I have talked myself out of a Coverstitch twice lol they are horrendously expensive here. Happy Sewing with your new baby xx
Quiltygal thank you so much 🌷 Ha ha yes I’ve had that conversation with myself too 😂
It does not look handmade!! Actually it looked like RTW! Great job!
Verla Kerr-Bidos thanks Verla 😊
Hi Cheryl, congrats on your new sewing machine👍. It looks amazing and when I decide to have an upgrade, I think I'll definitely look into a Pfaff. Love the Linden sweatshirt that you have made from that lovely red jersey and it looks very professionally made and definitely not handmade at all 😉. The velour looks very interesting and drapes wonderfully doesn't it.... would love to see something made up from that lovely goldie colour 👍. Hope you enjoy using your new machine and what a bonus to get that fantastic reduction and the scissors and thread.....that's definitely customer service 👍 😁😘
Sally Dingle thanks Sally, yes I’m hoping to create something lovely from the velour too, just need another 12 hours in a day 😂🌷 Thank you for your kind words 💖
Congratulations on the new machine! How exciting! I’ll be watching for your next vlog...I just got my Tilly book and I want to do the raglan T-shirt too. Happy Easter Cheryl!
Aquilterknits thanks Pam 🐥🌷
I love your enthusiasm..it’s so infectious. Having been the recipient of your gorgeous Lady McElroy brushstrokes cotton lawn, I know first hand how important customer service is to you..it really was happy mail and so beautifully presented. I’m also on the lookout for a new machine so will definitely give the website you mentioned a checkout 😘 Happy sewing 😉🐝
Kaz Everall aww, thanks Kaz, I appreciate your kind words 🐝💖
Love the top
Here's a revelation - do you mean you were sewing knits for the longest time on your older straight stitch machine? How did you manage it? I am considering buying a new sewing machine myself in the not-too-distant future, specifically so I could sew knits and join the Tilly "Stretch" bandwagon. However, I'd love to hear how you managed for so long sewing knits on a straight-stitch. My machine is even older - manufactured in the year I was born - 1958!! Works very well, but am unsure what to do about knit fabrics, though I know people sewed them in the '50s and 60s. If you ever had advice on this subject, there are those of us out there who would welcome it. BTW: Congratulations on the success of your online fabric shop - looks lovely and ever- tempting!
Kelley Spoerl thanks Kelley 🌷 Yep, I totally sewed everything on my old Singer, stretch fabrics and all. No idea about tips but it just really worked. Maybe I was lucky, but it’s just a case of having a go on scraps before you tackle your main garment. Enjoy 💐
Well, maybe you are right - just give it a go and maybe it will work! O.K., I'll try it! hanks for the reply! Your example encourages me.
I have had my Pfaff 7550 for 25 years. I love it. I wouldn’t own anything else. The IDT is the best feature for sure. I have only had it in the shop once in 25 years. Mine was built in Germany before the company was bought out. Hopefully they are still a quality machine. Im sure you will be happy with it!
Suzanne Black thanks Suzanne, I love it already 💖
Good review, thanks. I want (I don't need!!) a new machine. :-)
deb s thanks Deb 🌷
Congratulations on your new machine! It’s lovely! Also, I love the top you’re wearing and those BEAUTIFUL velour fabrics...they are a dream!
Myra Lorraine thank you so much Myra 🌷
It is handmade and made very well. So happy for you and your new machine. Enjoy
A new baby! Sweet!
I have the same one and love love it. Congrats
ohhh a new machines is ALWAYS fun! Congrats :)
thank you so much 🌷
Congratulations on your new sewing machine ! And your top looks absolutely amazing😍 (custom made not homemade 😏)
Gingerhead & Co thank you so much 🌷
You're a Pfaffie now.....Yay! Love my Pfaffs, have two. The newer one is a Quilters 4.2 and is wonderful. My older on is over ten years old and still performs wonderfully. BTW, really enjoy your videos.
Rebecca M Trevino yayy 🎉 Thank you Rebecca 💖
Yes, I also have a Pfaff 4.2 brilliant machine!
Just bought the Pfaff Ambition it's doing a great job on knit's. Don't really like the button hole feature on bulky fabrics like jean button holes. I've used jeans thread with the jeans needle and worked great. I think I need to readjust the tension on the bobbin because sometimes I find myself cranking the tension way up
Bonnie Currens thanks Bonnie, that’s useful to know. Yes I had to increase the upper tension a lot to get stitches straight 👍🏻
I have the Pfaff quilt expression 4.2. I wish I'd never bothered. Waste of £1400. It shakes when I sew fast and eats my fabric even with the addition of a straight stitch needle plate :( I'm saving for the Bernina 720QE at the moment but that's so expensive.I do hope you don't get these issues and get to love yours. I had my order from sewing machine direct. They are a brilliant company. I had loads of threads free with my machine and also my over locker
Bev Tooth ahh, that’s such a shame Bev, it’s a lot of money too. Hope your next one is perfect 🌷
I went the other way :) I have a basic Janome (which gets used for button holes only as I have an overlocker) but I bought a Juki 8700 straight stitch and a Juki DNU1541 compound walking foot - as I sew lots of leather bags.
Kathie Gadd sounds fab Kathie 💖 I’ve always been intrigued by bag making 🌷
I'm toying with starting a vlog as there don't seem to be so many on bags...particularly leather.
Kathie Gadd ooh you must!! I’d definitely follow you 👍🏻
Well I did my first vLog...ruclips.net/video/xU3inYZTlnU/видео.html. I am now in awe of the time you all put into making these vlogs!
your new sewing machine has a nice large through on it for quilting
rebecca estrada yes, I noticed that when comparing models 👍🏻 Will be handy when I get around to sewing curtains 🌷
Fantastic customer service! I bought my Janome from a dealer, overpaid (much cheaper online for the same machine) and got a mediocre 'lesson' on how to use it as a selling point. I'm happy with the machine but have yet to see the benefit of buying from a dealer as opposed to online.
ahh, such a shame, yes, the online sellers are really great these days.
I have the same machine, hope you love it as much as i do!
Mirjam Schouten thanks Mirjam 🌷
I have one of those machines, just a different name brand!!! I used ti sew on one in a shoe shop years ago!!!
Lucky you 😊 enjoy 😊
Dianne Ross thanks Dianne 🌷 Was worth all the saving up. X
Yay! Welcome to the Pffaff club, I am sure you will love it. Could you send me the link for the additional feet set you bought from Amazon Cheryl? I could do with one myself xx
thanks Rach, I knew I forgot a link somewhere :-) here you go.. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01H92VWY4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Stitchy Bee thanks Cheryl I’ve been looking for a rolled hem and invisible foot for mine but couldn’t find any compatible feet anywhere! You are a star 😘😘
Stitched Up! Thanks Rach - fingers crossed these fit ok 👍🏻🌷
Stitched Up! Me too :)
I love your new machine. I’m thinking of replacing my machine but want to stay with Janome as have bought quite a lot of additional feet for it including a walking foot. That was a great offer for you. Do you mind me asking what size Linden you cut as the finished measurements seem large. Also do you lengthen it. A lot of people say the neck is very wide but yours looked great to me. 😃
Ruth Lanwarne thanks Ruth 🌷 I cut a 12, no change to the length. The neck is wide on less stretchy fabric, but I leave it as is. Looks different depending on fabric choice 👍🏻
Love you blog.i have an 18 yr old Pfaff 7075 made in Germany. Love sewing, quilting, free motion quilting, sewing on knits.
I'd like to order fabric from you. How much for example would it be if I ordered 3 yards to ship to CA USA? Do you take credit cards?
Lyndalee Korn thanks Lyndalee 🌷Delivery to Canada will be somewhere between £9 and £20 depending on the price. If the actual shipping cost is less than you paid, I always refund the difference. Yes, I accept credit cards which is processed via Paypal (you don’t need a Paypal account). Hope that helps 🌷
Have a lovely weekend 🌷
I have a Pfaff Performance 5.
Jo Cypher they look fab Jo 🌷💖
Thanks for the velour talk. I have recently made the very easy vogue wrap dress in a gold crushed velvet / velour and did make the mistake of placing one of the pattern pieces upside down. It's not too big of a deal as I will make it the inside panel at the front.
I did want to ask a question though, since cutting the fabric I have got gold flecks absolutely everywhere in the house and on my clothes that I wore while sewing it. I can't get rid of it. Any suggestions on how to minimise the fabric flecks?? Thanks :)
Hi. Great blog post . I was wondering if you’d tried the button hole function? I currently have a Janome but have been very disappointed with buttonhole and as a result want to upgrade. Thanks.
Caroline Horan thanks Caroline 🌷 I haven’t tried the button hole yet but it’s a one-step one and looks like magic when watching the demos. 👍🏻
Stitchy Bee thank you.
Hi Cheryl, this is incredible, I am just researching this model with a view to purchase. I couldn't believe it when I saw your post! I am on the verge of choosing this one but have come across a review that says that there is no stop/start button and no speed control. Is that correct? No speed control would definitely be a deal breaker for me. Many thanks.
Longford Flyer thank you so much 🌷I don’t think there is a stop/start, I just use the peddle 👍🏻
Nice machine, but the accessories for Pfaff cost fortune, Sewing Machines Direct are a fantastic company,
Diane Delaney thanks Diane 💖 Thankfully Amazon’s accessories are fab value for Pfaff 👍🏻👌🏻
I can also recommend Sewing Machines Direct and have bought both my sewing machine and overlocker from them. If you have any queries you can ring them up and they are very helpfully. I also use them for servicing as they are based not far from me.
Nicola Mcdonald they’re fab aren’t they. Would love a nosey round their shop 👍🏻🌷
It's not big but has all the machines and accessories out on display. They also have a room full of knitting wool too.
What do you do if the test square in PDF pattern is not the right size
rae gierke hi Rae, check your printer settings, you should select “print at 100% of scale”. 👍🏻🌷
Hi Cheryl. Tried to watch your vlog but it won’t let me :-( Not sure why?
