Machine Information
This is the embroidery unit for the PFAFF Creative Elevate 680. It attaches to the machine you already own and turns it into a full sewing and embroidery system.
It fits the Elevate 680 and nothing else. If you have a different PFAFF, call the Quilt Fairies at (502) 718-7148 and we will point you at the right one rather than let you order this by mistake.
Buy the machine now, add embroidery when you are ready
The Elevate 680 was designed so this moment would be easy. There is no trade-in, no second machine to find space for, and nothing to relearn. The screen, the stitches and the seat are the ones you are already used to.
The unit slides on and comes off again, so the machine goes back to being a sewing machine whenever you need the table space.
360 by 200mm of stitching area
That is a quilt block, a motif across the front of a bag, or a line of lettering down a border, all in one hooping.
Exact Position lines up multiple hoopings so the sections meet properly, and multi-hooping handles a design bigger than the hoop. Jump stitches are trimmed as the machine works, which is the difference between finishing a design and sitting down afterward with snips.
330 designs and eight fonts are already on the machine
You do not need to buy a design file to start. The built-in library covers floral, decorative, quilting and modern motifs, and the eight fonts each come in three sizes with capitals, lowercase, numbers and symbols.
That is enough for a name on a christening gown, a date on the back of a quilt or a monogram on a set of towels, on the first evening.
Editing happens on the machine, not on a computer
Resize, rotate, mirror, combine several motifs and add your own text, all on the 7 inch screen, with a preview before anything is stitched.
Color sort is the one that saves an evening. It groups the design by thread color so you change spools once per color instead of every time that color comes round again.

Do not have the machine yet?
The Creative Elevate 680 is the sewing machine this unit belongs to, with Original IDT dual feed, over 400 stitches and a 7 inch touchscreen. You can buy the two together or start with the machine and come back for this. If you would rather have one machine that does both from day one, look at the creative icon 2. Call the Quilt Fairies at (502) 718-7148 and we will work out which order makes sense for you.
