Machine Information
Factory refurbished by PFAFF, with the full PFAFF warranty
PFAFF took this machine back, restored it themselves and warranted it as new. It is not a used machine we serviced and it is not a floor model. Refurbished machines reach us a few at a time, so call the Quilt Fairies at (502) 718-7148 to check on this one and we will hold it while you think it over.
The creative expect 350 sews and embroiders, and it is the machine we point people to when they have decided they want to try embroidery and do not want to spend flagship money finding out whether they love it.
Both hoops are in the box. There are 180 designs and 10 embroidery fonts already on the machine, and a 7 inch color touchscreen to arrange them on. Buying it factory refurbished is the least expensive way in.
A 7 inch touchscreen you edit on directly
Seven inches of color touchscreen is generous for a machine at this price, and it changes how embroidery feels. You place, rotate, resize and combine designs on the machine itself rather than laying out on a computer and carrying a stick across the room.
The same screen shows the sewing stitches, and the settings sit where you can read them without leaning in.
Two hoops, 180 designs, and nothing else to buy first
The larger hoop is 170 by 100mm, which is 6.7 by 3.9 inches. That is a name across the back of a jacket, a motif on a bag front, or a label for the corner of a quilt in one hooping. The 100 by 100mm hoop handles the smaller work, and both come with the machine.
The 180 built-in designs and 10 embroidery fonts mean you can stitch something out the first evening without buying a single file.
Bringing your own designs in
There is a USB port on the side for design files, and the machine joins your wifi through CREATIVATE, so designs and updates can arrive without a stick at all. If the machine in front of you is badged mySewnet, that is the same service under its former name.
Ask the Quilt Fairies to walk you through it at your Pixie Playdate. It is ten minutes of setup that saves you an evening of guessing.
And it is a proper sewing machine underneath
There are 250 sewing stitches and 4 sewing fonts, up to 7mm wide, covering utility work, buttonholes, quilting and decorative rows. There are 6.5 inches (165mm) to the right of the needle, a built-in thread cutter, a semi-automatic needle threader, start and stop for sewing without the foot pedal, and a speed slider to hold your pace.

Angela Huffman, host of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting PBS show and founder and owner of Quilted Joy.
Embroidery is the part of sewing people are most nervous about starting. A machine with both hoops, 180 designs and a screen big enough to work on takes most of that worry away, and the rest of it we handle in class.
Quilted Joy is a family-owned authorized PFAFF dealer in Louisville, Kentucky, and the home of the Quilt Fairies. Our technicians are factory certified for PFAFF and your machine is serviced in our own shop. Your Pixie Playdate owner classes are free with no limit on how many you take, they cover the embroidery side, and every PFAFF we sell is eligible for the Quilt Fairy Godmother Program, refurbished machines included.

Where the creative expect 350 sits in the PFAFF line
If you want a larger hoop and PFAFF's Original IDT dual feed on the sewing side, the Creative Elevate 680 is a full sewing machine with an embroidery unit you add when you are ready, and the creative icon 2 is the flagship that does both from day one.
Call the Quilt Fairies at (502) 718-7148 or send us a note and tell us what you want to embroider. We will show you the hoop sizes side by side, which is the part that actually decides it.

Pfaff Creative Expect 350 Sewing Machine Factory Refurbished — Frequently Asked Questions
What does factory refurbished mean?
It means PFAFF took the machine back, restored it themselves and warranted it as new. It is not a used machine we serviced in our own shop, and it is not a floor model. The full PFAFF factory warranty applies exactly as it would on a machine out of a sealed box.
How big is the embroidery area?
170 by 100mm, which is 6.7 by 3.9 inches. That covers a name across the back of a jacket, a motif on a bag front, or a label for the corner of a quilt in one hooping.
Are the hoops included?
Yes, both of them. The 170 by 100mm hoop and the 100 by 100mm hoop come with the machine, along with the embroidery unit and the embroidery foot, so there is nothing else to buy before you start.
How many embroidery designs are on the machine?
180 built-in designs and 10 embroidery fonts, already in the machine's memory. You can stitch something out the first evening without buying a single design file.
Can I add my own designs?
Yes. Designs come over by USB or through CREATIVATE wifi, and the machine picks up its own updates the same way.
Do I need a computer to arrange a design?
No. The 7 inch color touchscreen is where you place, rotate, resize and combine designs, on the machine itself, with the fabric already hooped in front of you.
How is it as a sewing machine?
250 built-in stitches and 4 sewing fonts up to 7mm wide, covering utility work, buttonholes, quilting and decorative rows. There are 6.5 inches (165mm) to the right of the needle, a built-in thread cutter, a semi-automatic needle threader, start and stop for sewing without the foot pedal, and a speed slider.
Can I finance a refurbished machine?
Yes. Shop Pay Installments is available at checkout, and you will see your estimated monthly payment right on this page. Every PFAFF we sell is eligible for the Quilt Fairy Godmother Program, refurbished machines included.
What warranty comes with the refurbished creative expect 350?
The full PFAFF factory warranty. PFAFF warrants the machine frame for 10 years and the electronic and electrical components for 2 years, supplying replacement parts free in both cases. The remaining mechanical parts are covered for one year, including labor. Because PFAFF refurbished and warranted it, you get the same coverage a new machine carries. Keep your receipt with the warranty card.
How many of these do you have?
Refurbished machines reach us a few at a time and each one sells on its own. Call the Quilt Fairies at (502) 718-7148 and we will tell you what is on the shelf today and hold one for you while you think it over.
Why buy a refurbished PFAFF from Quilted Joy?
