Watch the Performance Icon in Action:
Largest Working AreaExperience unmatched space under the arm, 12" width and 5.5" height—both wider and taller than previous models. The Performance Icon™ offers the most height ever under the sewing head, giving you better visibility and freedom to handle large projects like quilts with ease.
Unprecedented Lighting Design Enjoy the brightest sewing experience available. Perfectly positioned LED lighting eliminates shadows and provides even illumination across your entire workspace, ensuring complete visibility in every stitch.
ActivStitch™ Technology Perfect your projects with ActivStitch™—revolutionary thread control that uses built-in sensors to measure and regulate thread flow. Achieve precise, flawless results even when using metallic or specialty threads.
Comprehensive Connectivity With built-in WiFi and mySewnet™ compatibility, you can load stitches and updates directly from the mySewnet app. When connected to the free app, step-by-step sewing instructions and tutorials from the Help Center can be viewed on demand.
Automatic Needle Threader The fully automatic needle threader simplifies setup for maximum efficiency. Telescopic thread paths make it easy to use a wide variety of threads—even those on larger spools—without tangling or misalignment.
Enhanced Original IDT™ System Pfaff’s Integrated Dual Feed Technology feeds fabric from both top and bottom with an independent power source and a built-in sensor. The system ensures perfect stitching for all fabric types—from silks to heavy canvas.
10.1” Multi-Touch Screen The expansive 10.1” full-color display works just like a tablet—swipe, pinch, and zoom through settings. Includes Help Center, User’s Guide and Getting Started support.
Power, Stability, and Precision Built for professional results, the base design minimizes vibration for smoother performance. The needle piercing power is nearly twice as strong as previous models—effortlessly handling multiple layers and thick materials.
