Pfaff Select 4.2 Sewing Machine
The Pfaff Select 4.2 brings dependable performance and Pfaff's renowned IDT™ system to sewers who want professional-quality results without a steep learning curve. This machine handles everything from basic repairs to quilting projects with the precision and durability Pfaff is known for.

Easy Select Stitch System
Choosing the right stitch takes seconds with the Easy Select System. Simply turn the dial to your desired stitch, and the machine is ready to sew. The top-mounted stitch reference chart keeps your options visible at all times, so there's no need to flip through manuals or memorize numbers.

27 Built-In Stitches
From straight stitches to zigzag, stretch stitches to decorative options, the Select 4.2 gives you 27 stitches to cover a wide range of projects. The selection includes practical utility stitches for garment construction and stretch fabrics, plus decorative options for adding detail to your work.

Integrated Dual Feed (IDT™)
Pfaff's exclusive IDT system feeds fabric from the top and bottom simultaneously. This prevents layers from shifting, eliminates puckering on slippery fabrics, and keeps pattern matching precise. From velvet and quilted layers to stretchy knits, IDT keeps everything moving together smoothly.

Built for Durability
A heavy-duty metal interior frame provides the stability needed for consistent stitch quality. This solid construction reduces vibration, supports smooth operation at higher speeds, and ensures the machine holds up to years of regular use. The metal frame also adds weight that keeps the machine planted during sewing.
