Pfaff is a German brand with a long-standing reputation for precision and quality. It's a name that tends to resonate particularly with dressmakers and sewists who care about how a machine handles fabric — and there's a good reason for that. Pfaff's signature feature is IDT (Integrated Dual Feed), a built-in system that feeds fabric simultaneously from both the top and bottom of the machine. This means more even stitching across tricky materials like jersey, velvet, or multiple layers — and it's built in as standard across much of the range, rather than being an optional extra.
The Pfaff sewing machine range at Frank Nutt covers a solid spread of needs. The Smarter Series offers a practical, well-built starting point, while the Select, Ambition, and Passport Series step things up for sewists who want more stitches and greater flexibility. The Creative and Expression ranges are geared towards those with embroidery ambitions or more advanced sewing requirements, with the Performance Icon sitting at the top of the range for those who want the very best Pfaff has to offer.
