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 performance 950 sews, quilts and embroiders at the top of PFAFF's range. There are 800 stitches at a full 9mm, 840 embroidery designs, 12.1 inches to the right of the needle and a 10.1 inch touchscreen.
Factory refurbished, it is the most machine you can put on a table for the money, and it carries PFAFF's longest warranty tier.
A 360 by 350mm embroidery field, and three hoops in the box
The machine will embroider up to 360 by 350mm, which is 14.2 by 13.8 inches. That is a finished quilt block in one hooping, or the back of a jacket, or a name across a tote in a single pass.
Three hoops come with it: the creative Supreme at 360 by 260mm, the creative Elite at 260 by 200mm and the creative Square at 120 by 120mm. The Grand Dream hoop that reaches the full field is available separately, and the Quilt Fairies will tell you honestly whether your work needs it.
Enhanced Original IDT, and 12.1 inches of room
Original IDT is PFAFF's integrated dual feed, engineered into the machine itself. A second set of feed teeth comes down from above and moves the top layer at the same rate the feed dogs move the bottom one, so piecing lands where you pinned it, plaids meet at the seam, and a quilt sandwich comes out the far side square.
There are 12.1 inches (310mm) to the right of the needle, which is where a queen top actually sits while you quilt it, and an electronic knee lift so the presser foot goes up without your hands leaving the work.
800 stitches at 9mm, and stitches you invent yourself
Nine millimeters is the width that lets a decorative stitch read as a design rather than a line. All 800 stitches run to that width and up to 5mm long, with six sewing fonts for a label, a name or a whole line of text.
Stitch tapering narrows the start and the end of a decorative row so it finishes into a corner instead of stopping dead. And the Stitch Creator feature lets you draw a new 9mm stitch point by point, or reshape a built-in one, and keep it.
A 10.1 inch screen, and a machine that stays current
The 10.1 inch color touchscreen is the largest PFAFF puts on a machine, and you can arrange the interface the way your hand works rather than the way it shipped. The threading path is printed inside the lid and numbered, so the one thing people forget between projects is right there when you open it.
mySewnet connects the machine to your wifi, so designs you save arrive on the machine on their own and updates install without a USB stick. Auto Snip cuts the threads at a press, and the needle threader is fully automatic.

A machine at this level should come with people, so it does. Come and sit at one, bring the project you have been putting off, and we will run it under the needle before you decide anything.
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, which on a machine with this much in it is the part that turns a purchase into a skill. Every PFAFF we sell is eligible for the Quilt Fairy Godmother Program, refurbished machines included.

“Angela seems like a friend and not just a teacher. I really appreciate all the wonderful people who work there and share what they have with others.”
Jerry K., Facebook recommendation
Where the creative performance 950 sits in the PFAFF line
The creative icon 2 is the flagship, and it adds voice control, a projector that previews the stitch on the fabric, and four hoops including the Grand Dream. If you sew rather than embroider, the Performance Icon puts the same size workspace into a dedicated sewing machine. The Creative Elevate 680 is the modular route, a sewing machine with an embroidery unit you can add later.
Call the Quilt Fairies at (502) 718-7148 or send us a note and tell us what you make. We sew on these every day and we would rather point you at the right one than the expensive one.

Pfaff Creative Performance 950 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?
The machine embroiders up to 360 by 350mm, which is 14.2 by 13.8 inches. The three hoops in the box reach up to 360 by 260mm, and the Grand Dream hoop that covers the full field is available separately.
Which hoops come with it?
Three. The creative Supreme at 360 by 260mm, the creative Elite at 260 by 200mm and the creative Square at 120 by 120mm for monograms and small motifs.
How many stitches and designs are built in?
800 sewing stitches and 6 sewing fonts, up to 9mm wide and 5mm long, plus 840 embroidery designs and 8 embroidery fonts. Stitch Creator lets you draw your own 9mm stitches or reshape a built-in one.
How much room does it give me for a quilt?
12.1 inches (310mm) to the right of the needle, which is where a queen top actually sits while you quilt it. There is also an electronic knee lift, so the presser foot goes up without your hands leaving the work.
What does the Enhanced Original IDT system do?
IDT is PFAFF's integrated dual feed. A second set of feed teeth comes down from above and moves the top layer at the same rate the feed dogs move the bottom one, so piecing lands where you pinned it, plaids meet at the seam, and a quilt sandwich comes out square.
What is mySewnet?
