The moment you discover a new inspiration for your next quilt...

Every quilt reflects an explosion of creativity and ideas. With the PFAFF™ creative™ 4.0 sewing and embroidery machine, you will experience a new dimension of quilting.

When quilting, space and precision count!

You need lots of space when working with large amounts of fabric. The PFAFF™ creative™ 4.0 sewing and embroidery machine has the space you need – 250 mm (almost 10 inches) to the right of the needle – that’s an unbeatable advantage. Leave the embroidery unit attached when you sew, to expand your work surface. Absolutely even fabric feed from top and bottom – that’s the guarantee of the IDT™-System.

The highest level of sewing and quilting ease!

At the touch of a button, the presser foot is automatically raised to its highest position or lowered, top and bobbin threads are cut, and the machine can be started or stopped without the foot control. The thread sensors let you know when the thread is running low or breaks. The PFAFF™ HD screen shows your stitches in actual size, at the recommended setting. Each setting can be changed, and the new setting can be permanently saved in the machine’s memory for later use.

Adjust the presser foot pressure for the fabric you are using. With 37 different needle positions available for straight stitch, you can stitch each stitch exactly where you want it. The extra-large stitch plate has seam markings to the left and the right of the needle to guarantee the right spacing and perfect sewing results.

Create unique surfaces!
Select one of the two Free-motion modes, and move the fabric as desired to create a unique stitched surface. The PFAFF™ creative™ 4.0 sewing and embroidery machine sets the correct presser foot height and lowers the feed dogs automatically for you.
