Pfaff Creative Icon 2 Sewing & Embroidery Machine

After attending it’s launch, we were impressed, in fact very impressed. There has been lots published about the tremendous Pfaff Creative Icon 2 and now it is available here to purchase. The ICON 2 has some world leading features never seen before on a home use sewing machine, for example A.I. technology, embellishment attachment, speech recognition, stitch and embroidery design projector, mySewnet app, hoop scanning camera for accurate design positioning.

Wow...this is the first word that springs to mind when you open the box of the Pfaff Creative Icon 2! The colour of this machine is a deep purple aurora finish with white and grey accents. There are many exciting functions and we can't wait to share them with you!

The wait has been worth while...simple improvements like the new feed dog, which now has 5 fabric feeding dogs in front of the needle, so even without the IDT being in place, the machine really does control the forward movement of the material very well indeed. Another new feature, the sewing enthusiast will love, is the press button needle threader and the telescopic thread guide enabling you to use larger thread cones.

Creative Icon 2 Highlights:

• Ribbon / Bead Embellishment Attachment 
• Voice Control via Alexa or Google Assistent 
• AI Technology 
• Projector to view embroidery design in the hoop 
• Projector with adjustable background grid 
• Touchscreen mimics gestures like iPad or Smart Phone 
• Camera scans hooped project 
• mySewnet connectivity onscreen 
• WiFi onscreen help 
• Live blog for tips, projects and designs 
• Automatic software updates 
• Multi-Function foot control 
• ActivStitch thread tension technology

No need to use a stylus to navigate round the tablet like, 10.1”, full colour screen, Pfaff have gone a step further and created the first tablet like screen. You can swipe, zoom, pinch and personalise the screen lay-out by changing background colour, turning grid on/off, moving menus, using metric or imperial measurements and even move the stitch manipulation window to a different place on screen. The Pfaf ICON 2 has hundreds of on screen customisations possible. It is not complicated to use, all features are clearly labelled for you to select at ease.

Lift the lid and you will find all categories of stitches right there, then go to the LCD screen to discover all 873 built-in stitches. There is a built-in help centre, this works by touching the on screen question mark then tapping on the feature you are unsure of, where the Creative Icon 2 will then give a small description of this feature.

Main features such as the projector, which projects the design on to the hoop while in embroidery stitch out mode to coordinate with precise positioning Stop/start, thread cutting, automatic needle threader and many more are located on the front of the machine, simply touch the button you require and the machine will work its magic. The large sewing area makes working on bigger projects more accessible due to the amount of space.

Did you know...this machine has voice control! This is the world's first and only sewing machine with voice control, this handsfree machine can connect to your Alexa or Google Assistant on your smartphone or as a seperate device!
Simply say: 'Alexa, ask Creative Icon 2 to show me all ribbon stitches', within a second, the ribbon stitches will appear on your LCD screen ready for you to select...crazy isn't it!

Be sure to check out our videos… that reminds me, there is a range of tutorial videos you can bring up on screen whilst stitching and just like a regular youtube video, if needed, you can pause it as you are following the tutorial; its like having a teacher sitting next to you, helping when needed. The 'How to' videos include threading top and bobbin threads, setting up for embroidery, how to ribbon, radiant or the tremendous floating stitches. You can even search the help section just like you would on a regular website.

For users like myself, I think adding the tablet like controls together with dropping icons and replacing with descriptive words, makes for easier navigation and a faster way of working on a sewing machine. Connect the Pfaff ICON 2 to mySewnet to browse and use any one of the 8000 designs available on it's screen! Download digitizing software to your PC for photo stitch, digitizing, use stitch editor, build custom quilt blocks and much more.

Its definately not a small sewing machine, infact it's probably one of the largest, with a huge 12.2” workspace to the right of the needle and 5.5” height gap, so it should be suitable of any quilting project. The chassis has been engineered for strength and the machine uses a counterbalance to reduce vibration. Because vibration has been reduced, the Creative Icon is much quieter when stitching at speed than past models.

Pfaff’s exclusive ActivStitch and IDT system is still present but it has been enhanced, giving perfectly balanced stitches no matter how many layers or fabric thickness. IDT or Integrated Dual Transportation system remains one of Pfaff's most 'Iconic' features. Feeding fabric from top and bottom, the engagement of the IDT feed prevents sliding of fabric during stitching.

The rubberised accessory storage compartment in the slide off sleeve arm and the placement of the straight stitch plate, is a nice touch.

Use the Icon’s WiFi connectivity together with a smart phone app (Apple or Android), available to Pfaff Icon 2 owners, to get alerts, embroidery design status updates in real time, directly to their smart phone. Save or retrieve embroidery designs from “your” mySewnet cloud storage directly to the machine. The other app function ImageStitch we have found invaluable, when out and about or in the garden. Use your smartphone to take a picture and the ImageStitch app automatically digitizes to a .VP3 embroidery design file which can be saved to mySewnet. Later, when you return to your sewing room, it's ready to be sewn out using the Pfaff Creative Icon.
