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 select 4.2 is a mechanical PFAFF, and it is the least expensive machine PFAFF makes that still has the Original IDT system in it. That is the whole reason to want one.
There are 40 stitches, 6.8 inches to the right of the needle, and 19 accessories in the box including eight presser feet. Factory refurbished, it is the least expensive route into PFAFF engineering there is.
Original IDT in a mechanical machine
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.
It is the feature quilters ask for by name, and on the select 4.2 you get it without a screen, a menu or a software update in sight.
40 stitches, and a key for each one
Stitches are chosen on a bank of keys lettered A to M, with the stitch itself printed on the key. You look at it, you press it, you sew. The full chart is printed under the lid, so nothing is hidden in a menu.
Forty built-in stitches, up to 5.5mm wide and 6mm long, covering the utility work, the stretch stitches, the blind hems and the decorative rows most sewing actually consists of.
Set by hand, on purpose
Stitch length, stitch width and needle position all adjust on dials you can reach without looking, and thread tension is set by hand, which a lot of experienced sewists much prefer.
A built-in needle threader saves the squint at every color change, and the machine runs to 900 stitches a minute when you want it to.
Eight presser feet, most of them for IDT
Standard, fancy stitch, blindhem and overlock, zipper and a 3mm rolled hem foot, all for the IDT system, plus a clearview foot, a buttonhole foot and a darning foot. There is an edge and quilting guide in there too. Nineteen accessories in total, which for a mechanical machine is generous.

Where the select 4.2 sits in the PFAFF line
Going up, the quilt ambition 635 is the computerized machine built around the same IDT system, with 201 stitches, a color touchscreen and 7.9 inches to the right of the needle. The Passport 3.0 is the compact PFAFF, light enough to carry to every class.

Pfaff Select 4.2 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.
Does a mechanical machine really have the IDT system?
Yes. The select 4.2 has PFAFF's Original IDT 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.
How many stitches does it have?
40 built-in stitches, up to 5.5mm wide and 6mm long, covering utility work, stretch stitches, blind hems and decorative rows. Stitch length, width and needle position all adjust.
Is it computerized?
No, and that is the point. You choose a stitch on a dial and sew. There is no screen, no menu and no software update. Thread tension is set by hand, which many sewists prefer.
What presser feet come with it?
Eight: standard, fancy stitch, blindhem and overlock, zipper and a 3mm rolled hem foot, all for the IDT system, plus a clearview foot, a buttonhole foot and a darning foot. There are 19 accessories in total, including an edge and quilting guide.
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 select 4.2?
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. 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.
