Pfaff Creative Elevate 680 Sewing / Embroidery Machine

As soon as you flick on the switch and wait 4 seconds, the synchronisers rotate and after a few movements of the needle bar, the vibrant colour touch screen blasts into life. You can really tell this is the Rolls Royce's of sewing machines. The new Pfaff Creative Elevate 680 has arrived. It boasts ribbon stitches, stitch creator, precise positioning and the long arm sewing bed that is becoming a must-have when stitching larger projects.

An option would be to purchase the 680 and embroidery unit together which includes Pfaff's largest design hoop at 360 x 200 mm in size.

With the matching embroidery unit...

With the embroidery unit, together you have a fantastic piece of equipment, designed to sew all kinds of materials whether you are customising home furnishings, modifying clothes or creating something from scratch...this machine will fulfil your every desire.  With the embroidery unit it gives the option to embroider 330 beautiful designs. Each can be placed exactly where you want using Pfaff's precise positioning. It has also been designed to sew 30% faster thanks to exact tolerances and no error manufacturing techniques. Yes, it will cut the jump stitches between colour changes. Plus you can edit designs on screen. Editing options are: mirror, rotate, scale designs without changing stitch count, group design elements, edit or even single stitch edit, undo/redo function, change thread colours or sew in a continuous colour without a stop. A nice feature I like to use often is the built-in basting. This allows you to baste either around the hoop edge or around the design edge. Both will hold the fabric and stabilizer secure in the hoop so there is far less material movement whilst the design is being sewn. 

Embroider any one of the 330 built-in embroidery designs, sew embroidery fonts up to 60mm tall and thanks to WiFi and CREATIVATE get updates on your smart phone of the stitch out time remaining. Import any .vp3 file format design by WiFI, or customise one onscreen, copy/paste, resize, scale, add text, rotate, change thread colours, mirror, duplicate, or save and recall on another day. Adjust the space between lettering, justify text, algle letters on the baseline. Use the Shape Creator to build personal sequanced embroidery designs. 

One of the benifits is the embroidery unit can be purchased at the same time as the 680 (with a £200 saving), or if the user is not ready to take a step into world of embroidery, the unit can be added at a later date.

As a sewing machine it boasts...

What about when its in sewing mode, without the embroidery unit attached it offers a huge 400+ stitch patterns. Regular sewing machines sew a 5 or 6mm wide stitch. Not so with the Elevate 680, you can sew up to 9mm wide when stitching out decorative stitches, or fonts.

Wonderful stitching techniques are ready to use at the swipe and a touch on the clever 7" (153x85 mm) gesture style, tablet-like screen, the Elevate 680 is ready to sew;

• Single and Triple Ribbon stitches
• Stacking stitches
• Floating stitches
• Radiant stitches
• Lace Edge stitches
• Tapering stitches

The IDT or Integrated Dual Transportation system is an added bonus on this machine. This 'even feed' set up allows your fabric to be moved between the presser foot and the stitch plate, so thats both the top fabric and the bottom fabric in a synchronised motion to prevent uneven seams, puckering and slippage.

Connect by WiFi to the all-in-one CREATIVATE app to bring evem more creativity to your finger tips. You will never be stuck on how to insert a zip, or sew a specialist hem, or a quilting project, the built in Learing Center, together with the quick help button will guide your through a number of interactive tutorials.

The Elevate 680 can also taper decorative patterns. It has specific patchwork programs that can even remember the exact seam length then repeat it over and over again. Sewing applique is easy too, the stitch density can be adjusted. 

The new ribbon stitches are fantastic; watch the short video we made showing how to sew one of these new built-in ribbon stitches.
