First it was the Creative Icon, and now PFAFF has introduced the Performance Icon for the sewing enthusiast. The PFAFF Performance Icon sewing machine represents everything you’ve come to value from PFAFF. This machine provides a comprehensive and innovative sewing experience that truly delivers to your highest expectations.

PFAFF Performance Icon Features

Huge Multi-Touch Screen with a Smart Digital Interface

The 10.1in full-color screen works like a smartphone or tablet. It is the largest, most intuitive display available from PFAFF, specially designed to support a dedicated sewist like you.

Built in to the machine are the Help Center, a User’s Guide and Getting Started option to support and inspire sewists.  Look to the Help Center for more than 50 animated or illustrated interactive on-screen, step-by-step guides for reference and efficiency in support of countless projects.  The screen interface features tablet-like ability to swipe, pinch, and zoom.

Power, Stability, and Precision

The base design reduces vibrations, giving you the stability you require for precise results. In addition, the Performance Icon’s piercing power is also nearly twice as strong as previous models, sewing through heavy fabrics with ease.

Unlimited Creative Freedom

Unleash your creativity with the The Stitch Creator™ feature. Create new stitches up to 9mm or edit the built-in stitches to create just the stitch design you want.

Largest Working Area

The Performance Icon has the market’s largest workspace, with an overall increase in width and height under the arm compared to previous models.  The Performance Icon has the most height ever under the sewing head, so your hands have plenty of room to work with quilts. In addition, all this space also gives you a panoramic view of your large projects.

Unprecedented Lighting Design

The PFAFF Performance Icon gives you the most even work light on the market for the brightest sewing experience. LED lighting is perfectly positioned at the most beneficial points to eliminate shadows.

ActivStitch™ Technology

Apply metallic and novelty threads to your project with expert precision using PFAFF’s revolutionary ActivStitch™ technology.  Thread is fed perfectly through the machine for gorgeous results, all thanks to built-in sensors that actively measure and regulate your thread. Think of all the sparkle you can add to your projects with ease.

Enhanced Original IDT

Integrated Dual Feed technology, a PFAFF feature, precisely feeds all types of fabric from the top and bottom for perfect stitching every time. A built-in sensor lets you know when to activate or deactivate it.

Comprehensive Connectivity with WiFi and mySewnet™

Load stitches to your machine from the mySewnet™ app. Get automatic updates via WiFi. Store your designs on the cloud. You can also receive step-by-step sewing instructions and tutorials from the Help Center on demand.

More Accessories, More Storage

Take full advantage of the variety of presser feet provided to make your sewing tasks easier. Also included are two large stitch plates that can be stored along with the  presser feet in the rubberized built-in accessory tray.
