Why the creative icon™ 3?
More than a machine.
creative icon™ 3 is the culmination of the engineering PFAFF® has developed since 1968. With an embroidery area reaching 450 × 450 mm, projection guidance that you see directly on the fabric rather than on your screen, and a machine that adjusts itself the moment you select the fabric type. So you can finish the project you have in mind, exactly as you imagined it.
NEW
New embroidery unit
The redesigned embroidery unit significantly reduces noise and vibration, offering an embroidery area reaching up to 450 × 450 mm.* Thanks to the new connection system developed for both the embroidery unit and the hoops, setup takes only a few seconds.
NEW
Free-arm embroidery
Personalizing ready-made products has never been easier. Embroider directly onto tubular items like baby clothes, bags, and pillowcases—without taking them apart at the seams.
NEW
Exact Position — now scale-dependent
Adjust the position and angle of your design with stitch-point precision; significantly reduce the time and effort you spend on perfect hooping. If part of the design exceeds the hoop boundaries, you can scale the design to fit using the improved Exact Position. This also makes it easier to align the final pieces in multi-hooping.
Technology
Six features that make a difference
Hoop Scanning
Easily align your design with the one on the hoop — seams, fabric patterns, or previously embroidered motifs. Preview the result on the screen and adjust thread colors against the background.
Projection-based wayfinding
See your design on the fabric before you stitch. With Design Projection, preview the actual size and placement of your embroidery on the fabric before you begin.
Fabric Selection
Select the type of fabric you are sewing; the machine will automatically switch to the most appropriate settings for your chosen fabric, technique, and stitch.
Quick Quilt Settings
All settings required for quilting in embroidery are done for you: thread tension increases, automatic thread cutting is disabled, and the new bobbin catcher is activated.
Enhanced STITCH CREATOR™
Design stitches wider than 9 mm from scratch or edit existing ones. Length, width, and pattern are in your hands; create decorative stitches that are entirely your own.
Original IDT™ System
Since 1968, the PFAFF® original integrated dual feed system has been feeding fabric from both the top and bottom simultaneously. Perfect seams on plaid matching, velvet, and multi-layered quilting.
