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 Smarter by Pfaff 140s is a mechanical sewing machine with 21 stitches, and it is the simplest machine PFAFF makes.
The Smarter line is where PFAFF puts its engineering into a machine that does not ask you to learn anything first. You plug it in, turn the dial, and sew. Factory refurbished, it is the least expensive PFAFF you can buy, and it still carries the full factory warranty.
Built to be picked up and used
There are 21 built-in stitches, up to 6mm wide and 4mm long, chosen on the green dial. A built-in needle threader saves the squint at every color change, and the machine runs to 750 stitches a minute.
There are 6.3 inches (160mm) to the right of the needle, so a hem or a long seam has somewhere to run. It measures 11.4 by 7.9 by 16.1 inches and weighs 13.7 lbs (6.2 kg).
Six millimeters, set with a lever
Stitch width runs to 6mm on a lever you slide with a thumb, and stitch length to 4mm on the dial. Buttonholes are made in four steps with the four-step buttonhole foot, which is the traditional way and lets you decide the length yourself.
The stitches are printed on the machine body in green, so you are choosing by looking rather than by remembering.
It comes with a hard cover
The cover clips over the machine and gives it a handle, which is what makes the difference between a machine that lives on your table and one that lives on a shelf until you want it.
Sixteen accessories come with it: standard, clearview, blindhem, zipper and four-step buttonhole feet, three bobbins, needles, an edge guide, spool caps, a felt pad, a seam ripper, a brush and a screwdriver.

Pfaff Smarter by Pfaff 140s 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 Smarter 140s a good first machine?
That is what it is built for. It is the simplest machine PFAFF makes. You choose a stitch on a dial and sew, and a built-in needle threader takes care of the fiddliest part of setting up.
How many stitches does it have?
21 built-in stitches, up to 6mm wide and 4mm long, covering utility work, stretch stitches, blind hems and decorative rows.
What is a four-step buttonhole?
You turn the dial through four positions to sew the four sides of the buttonhole, which is the traditional method and lets you decide exactly how long it is. If you would rather the machine do it in one pass, the Smarter 160s has a one-step buttonhole.
Does it have the Original IDT system?
No. IDT is PFAFF's integrated dual feed and it starts with the select 4.2 and the Passport machines. If dual feed is what you are after, ask the Quilt Fairies at (502) 718-7148 and we will show you the difference on the shop floor.
How heavy is it?
13.7 lbs (6.2 kg), and it measures 11.4 by 7.9 by 16.1 inches. It comes with a hard cover, so it lives on a shelf between projects and travels to a class comfortably.
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 Smarter 140s?
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.
Why buy a refurbished PFAFF from Quilted Joy?
