Pfaff Performance Icon Sewing & Quilting Machine

Pfaff Performance Icon: Precision Sewing with Connected Features

The Pfaff Performance Icon combines a 12.2-inch workspace, 522 built-in stitches, and WiFi connectivity for quilters and garment sewers who want advanced control. The 10.1" multi-touch display operates like a tablet with swipe, pinch, and zoom gestures. ActivStitch technology regulates thread tension automatically for metallic and specialty threads, while the Original IDT integrated dual feed ensures even fabric feeding from both top and bottom.

12.2-Inch Sewing Space

The 12.2-inch (310mm) workspace to the right of the needle and 5.5-inch (140mm) height give you room for large quilts, home decor, and bulky projects. The extended surface keeps fabric supported and reduces dragging as you guide your work through the machine.

10.1" Multi-Touch Display

The 10.1-inch full-color touchscreen responds to swipe, pinch, and zoom gestures like a tablet. Access 522 stitches, adjust settings, and view the built-in Help Center with over 50 animated step-by-step guides. The graphical interface makes stitch selection and editing intuitive.

Original IDT Integrated Dual Feed

The Original IDT system feeds fabric from both top and bottom simultaneously for even stitching on slippery fabrics, knits, plaids, and multiple layers. The system includes its own power source and a built-in sensor that indicates when to activate or deactivate it based on your technique.

ActivStitch Technology

ActivStitch technology uses built-in sensors to actively measure and regulate thread as it feeds through the machine. This produces consistent results with metallic threads, specialty threads, and decorative fibers that typically require constant tension adjustment on other machines.

Stitch Creator and 522 Stitches

Access 522 built-in stitches including utility, decorative, and specialty techniques like Floating Stitches, Radiant Stitches, and Lace Edge Stitches. The Stitch Creator lets you design custom 9mm stitches or modify existing ones. The Stitch Repeat feature remembers seam lengths for consistent piecing.

WiFi and mySewnet Connectivity

Connect via WiFi to the mySewnet app for cloud storage, automatic software updates, and access to tutorials. Load stitches directly to your machine from the app. The LED lighting system positions light at key points around the needle area to eliminate shadows during detailed work.

The Pfaff Performance Icon delivers nearly double the needle piercing power of earlier models for sewing through heavy fabrics and multiple layers. Explore the full Pfaff collection to find the right machine for your sewing projects.
