Thankyou for that. I bought the Pfaff passport, I think the 2.0. I bought it because I wanted to take it to classes, quilting, and don’t drive so needed a light weight one, for public transport as well as walking with it. My dealer has sold the business, and my concern is...does it need to be oiled occasionally. I was under the impression that it doesn’t require oiling. Nothing in instruction book about it. It’s a great little machine. Only problem I had was buying correct bobbins, but that sorted itself out. Doesn’t take normal Pfaff bobbins! Your set up in your workroom is lovely. I just wish I had the model that has the scissors feature! But can live without that. Thanks for your video. 🇦🇺
Loved your video, after 5 years what's your experience with the machines? Any additional pros or cons you would add to what you reported in this video?
I would love a video on you favorite supplies and where you purchased from. ( I would specifically love to learn where you bought the magnetic donut weights)
Hiya! A lot of the supplies I purchase in bulk from manufactures and sell in my Etsy shop but a lot of the fabrics I use are from Spoonflower. The doughnuts were from an Etsy shop called Oh Sew Quaint but unfortunately she has closed her shop :(
I find it funny when companies offer soft cases for their machines. Really? We sew! Why would we need a soft case? We'll just make our own. As for the hard case, that is a truly useful and a welcomed accessory as it helps if the machine gets banged around. I had brought my machine to a class one time and put it on the table and walked away, and good thing I left the hard case in place as a broom that was leaning on the same table slipped and the handle came down on the cover. It still may not have done any damage, but I was happy that I left it on at the time,
You explain that both machines are quite similar and that the main difference is the additional decorative stitches although you don't use them for lingerie. Then why did you get more of the more expensive 3.0? Is is in any way more reliable or... ? Thanks ! :-)
Good question!! I actually ordered the 2.0’s from a local store. I ordered five of them, two hobbylocks and a coverlock 4.0 to kit out my studio for classes. It was such a big order they kindly bumped me up to the 3.0’s at no extra cost! Both the machines are fab and I’d recommend either of them 😊
it really looks like doesn't, but pfaff have an eyelet plate you can buy to do them quasi-manually using a zig-zag stitch. replying to a year old comment because this is something that drives me crazy! i think these machines are a great price and awesome features for dressmakers in particular (m going to buy one) BUT it drives me nuts that they added like 30 stitches in between the two models but eyelet wasn't one of them!!
Thanks for the review. Here's a negative: The accessory tray is an open pit of mayhem. A serious Pfaff has a structured accessory tray with moulded and numbered slots for each of the different feet, the needles, a place for bobbins, and all those good things. Fishing for the right foot in a sea of feet and bobbins when you just wanted to go to set up in your class... not a good thing. Needles: Because precision is our friend, the right needle for the right fabric AND weight is critical. That's true of all sewing. For the Passport, the power behind the needle strikes is more efficient and precise so if you have the wrong needle for your fabric type and weight, you'd get more needle-related errors and bits of unhappiness.
Dritz makes a neat bobbin holder called a Bobbin Boat. It neatly holds the bobbins and fits in both the front and rear compartments. I found them to be very helpful.
I have a question . I am wondering if ANY of those decorative stitches can work for a stretch stitch on your bras and panties ? I thonk if so that would be a super cool and worthy of the $$ you must have paid. Is the body metal or plastic? I ask because I truly dont know. Sorry my one turned into more than..... i dream of owning a muilty stitch machine but even more so an old throttle style white or singer . To be able to sew on a home machine that is like a industrial with no electric but my own an awesome thought. I would have one if someone had not.stold it many years ago. A singer early 20th century .
I was in a sewing machine shop today and I was looking - and trying this machine. And the body is plastic but still really good quality. I love it and I'm probably gonna get it soon.
I'm thinking of buying a Pfaff passport, do you still use and recommend them? Any real differences between them except the stitches and thread cutter? Thanks!
I just bought 2.0 today. Still in the box. Looking at video about the machine. The more I think of it the thread cutter is a nice feature on 3.0. I didn't one to spend extra 100.00. I will never use all the stitches the 2.0 has.
I really love my machine. I often use the speed control feature, the press the button to stop and go, and love the extra large bobbins it has. Lots of great features. I find the 1/4 inch guides and find it really makes my piecing accurate.
I'd like to ask a question. One year in, my Passport 3.0 is having trouble with skipping stitches. I made sure the needle is correct, thread is correct, tension is correct..im worrying there's something wrong with the machine. Any ideas?😢
Seattle here. Am undecided as whether to buy a PFAFF PASSPORT 2.0 or 3.0. Any ideas or recommendations would be most appreciated. Kindest regards, from somewhere near Seattle and around the World, because others read this vlog and comments.
hello. what machine i must use for making mass production panties ? is ok to use machine like this video i will open small factory to produce panties, but i dont know what machine i must use
Look at the DOMESTIC Juki sewing machine, this company has been manufacturing Juki industrial machines for decades. The domestic Juki is hard working and manufactured in Japan and is a better machine than its competition (Janome and Brother) Babylock make a similiar machine, so, you could look at that one as well. I am a Bernina lover however since their machines are now manufactured in Malaysia, if I was looking for a new machine it would be Juki or Babylock
Love your tip about the correct needle my Pfaff is extremely old but sews the best straight stitch
Congratulations on your lovely new studio and the best of luck with your workshops... exciting times 👍😀😘
Thanks so much! 💖

Many computer sewing machines do not need to be oiled!

Thank you! so helpfull, im gonna buy the passport 2.0 now
Congrats doll. I am so happy for you!!! Enjoy.
I love your studio, do you have a video of how you designed it and how you set it up? Love that much space
Obrigada, eu ja tenho uma pfaff passport 2.0 e gosto muito dela! Mas ainda não sei mexer bem 😅, estou a iniciar na costura.

@@EVIElaLUVE That explains it! Thanks :-)
Does this machine have the eyelet stitch? I like what I see about the machine, but it doesn't seem to have this stitch in the stitch settings.

Is this a primary machine or is is a second one?
