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 expression 710 Special Edition is a serious sewing and quilting machine with nearly 10 inches to the right of the needle, 247 stitches that go a full 9mm wide, and PFAFF's 20 year warranty tier behind it.
It does not embroider. Everything in it goes toward sewing, quilting and decorative work, and the Special Edition adds five bonus presser feet that would otherwise be a separate purchase. Factory refurbished, it is a lot of machine for the money.
Original IDT, and nearly 10 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 9.8 inches (250mm) to the right of the needle, which is where a lap quilt or a length of batting actually goes while you are working on it, and an electronic knee lift so the presser foot goes up without your hands leaving the work.
247 stitches at 9mm, and stitches you invent yourself
Nine millimeters is the width that separates a decorative stitch that reads as a design from one that reads as a line. All 247 stitches run to that width and up to 6mm long, with three sewing fonts for a label or a name.
Tapering narrows the start and the end of a decorative row so it finishes at a corner instead of stopping dead. Sequencing, shown here on the screen, lets you build a row out of several stitches and repeat it. And Stitch Creator lets you draw a new 9mm stitch point by point with the stylus.
The Special Edition foot kit
The Special Edition comes with five bonus presser feet on top of the standard set: a narrow edge foot for IDT, an invisible zipper foot, a piping foot, a couching and braiding foot for IDT, and an open toe appliqué foot for IDT. Those are the five people buy one at a time over the first two years, and they are already in the box.

Angela Huffman, host of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting PBS show and founder and owner of Quilted Joy.
If your quilting has moved past piecing and into embellishment, this is the level where it gets interesting. The tapering and the 9mm decorative stitches are what people come back to us about a year later.
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.

Where the expression 710 sits in the PFAFF line
The Creative Elevate 680 is the closest current machine, with a 7 inch screen and an embroidery unit you can add later. The Performance Icon is the dedicated sewing flagship, with 12.2 inches to the right of the needle and a 10.1 inch screen. For a smaller machine built around the same IDT system, the quilt ambition 635 is the one to compare.
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 Special Edition Expression 710 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.
What makes it a Special Edition?
Five bonus presser feet on top of the standard set: a narrow edge foot for IDT, an invisible zipper foot, a piping foot, a couching and braiding foot for IDT, and an open toe appliqué foot for IDT. Those are the feet most people buy one at a time over the first two years.
Does the expression 710 embroider?
No. It is a dedicated sewing and quilting machine, and everything in it goes toward sewing, quilting and decorative work. 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.
How much room does it give me for a quilt?
9.8 inches (250mm) to the right of the needle, which is nearly ten inches for the quilt to sit in while you work on it. There is also an electronic knee lift, so the presser foot goes up without your hands leaving the work.
How many stitches does it have?
247 built-in stitches and 3 sewing fonts, up to 9mm wide and 6mm long, covering utility, quilting, heirloom and decorative work.
What is the Stitch Creator feature?
It lets you draw a new 9mm stitch point by point on the touchscreen, or take a built-in stitch and reshape it, then save it and use it like any other stitch.
What is stitch tapering?
Tapering narrows the start and the end of a decorative row at an angle you choose, so a row of stitching finishes into a corner instead of stopping dead. It is the feature that makes decorative work look finished rather than applied.
What does the 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.
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 expression 710?
The full PFAFF factory warranty, and this machine sits in PFAFF's longest tier. PFAFF warrants the machine frame for 20 years and the electronic and electrical components for 5 years, supplying replacement parts free in both cases. The remaining mechanical parts are covered for one year, including labor. 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.
