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 Ambition 620 is the machine a lot of quilters describe as the one they should have bought first. It is computerized, it is comfortable to sit at all afternoon, and it has the Original IDT system PFAFF is known for.
There are 136 stitches, 7.9 inches to the right of the needle for the quilt to sit in, and Auto Snip to cut your threads at a button. Buying it factory refurbished is the least expensive way into a PFAFF at this level.
Original IDT is why quilters look for this machine
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. Seams meet where you want them, plaids line up, and slippery backings behave.
It is built into the machine rather than added to it, and it swings in and out of the way when you want it. PFAFF has been engineering it since 1968, and it is the single feature most people are on this brand for.
The controls you actually use
Auto Snip cuts the top and bobbin threads at a press, and the built-in needle threader saves the squint at the start of every color change. Between them they are the two features owners mention most.
Needle up and down sets where the needle rests, which is what makes pivoting at a corner accurate. Start and stop runs the machine without the foot pedal, the speed slider holds your pace, and immediate tie-off locks a seam without reversing over it.
136 stitches, 29 needle positions and a screen you can read
The 136 built-in stitches cover utility work, quilting, stretch, heirloom and decorative rows, up to 7mm wide and 5mm long, with two sewing fonts for a label on the back of a quilt. The 3.6 inch LCD keeps the stitch number, the width and the length in front of you rather than under a lid.
There are 29 needle positions, which matters more than it sounds. Topstitching an edge, sewing a scant quarter inch, running a line beside a zipper: you move the needle instead of moving the fabric, and the seam stays where you meant it.

Angela Huffman, host of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting PBS show and founder and owner of Quilted Joy.
This is the size of machine most quilters actually live with. It has the room for a lap quilt, the IDT system that makes the piecing worth doing, and it still lifts into the car for a retreat.
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, and every PFAFF we sell is eligible for the Quilt Fairy Godmother Program, refurbished machines included.

Mittie S., Facebook recommendation
Where the Ambition 620 sits in the PFAFF line
The quilt ambition 635 is the closest current machine, with 201 stitches, a 4.3 inch color touchscreen and automatic tension in the same size body. Coming the other way, the Passport 3.0 is the compact PFAFF built around the same IDT system, light enough to carry to every class.
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 Ambition 620 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.
Is the Ambition 620 a good quilting machine?
Yes. The Original IDT dual feed moves the top and bottom layers together so a quilt sandwich comes out square, there are 7.9 inches (200mm) to the right of the needle for the quilt to sit in, and the feed dogs drop for free-motion work.
What is PFAFF's Original IDT system?
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. You engage and release it as you need it.
How many stitches does the Ambition 620 have?
136 built-in stitches covering utility, quilting, stretch, heirloom and decorative work, up to 7mm wide and 5mm long, plus two sewing fonts for a label or a name.
What are 29 needle positions for?
They let you move the needle left or right instead of moving the fabric. Topstitching an edge, sewing a scant quarter inch, running a line beside a zipper: you set the needle where the seam belongs and let the fabric feed straight.
How heavy is the Ambition 620?
19.4 lbs (8.8 kg), and it measures 18.9 by 7.6 by 11.8 inches. It is light enough to take to a class or a retreat while still giving you 7.9 inches of room to the right of the needle.
Does it embroider?
No. It is a dedicated sewing and quilting machine. If you want PFAFF embroidery, the Creative Elevate 680 is a sewing machine you can add an embroidery unit to later, and the creative icon 2 sews and embroiders from day one. The Quilt Fairies will happily compare them with you at (502) 718-7148.
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 Ambition 620?
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.
