Pfaff 160s Sewing Machine

Compact yet powerful, the Pfaff Smarter 160s Sewing Machine offers 23 versatile stitches, precision engineering, and premium features—perfect for any sewing enthusiast ready to create with confidence.

I am thrilled to tell you all about the New Smarter by Pfaff. I hope this is the start of a new era for Pfaff. In the past Pfaff sewing machines have tended to be on a larger scale, now Pfaff are also producing smaller and lightweight models. The new Pfaff 160s is a fantastic rival to the machines which already hold firm standings in a very established range of sewing machines. This Smarter 160s holds an arsenal of 23 stitches which range from your ordinary utility stitches to decorative and stretch stitches and an automatic buttonhole stitch. With the range of stitches available, it makes it an excellent companion for any budding sewers.

Offering a built-in needle threader, clip-on presser feet, top loading bobbin system with auto de-clutch bobbin winder, plus the addition of a hard plastic protective cover the Pfaff 160s is ready to sew almost any project you could dream of. It can stitch various types of materials and multiple thicknesses, anything from satins to denim seams are not a problem for the Smarter 160s.

The machine looks and feels light, bright, quirky and bold but also very solid and firm. Some machines you can literally bend in your hands,  a telltale sign of poor quality. This machine will not bend... it is rigid, even the stitch dials and hand wheel with their responsiveness and rubberised texture, scream out quality. How does the machine run?... as you would expect a Pfaff machine to run... with ease, confidence and precision. This machine also has that all-important hard cover, vitally important for protecting your machine when in storage.
