Robustness, è la prima sensazione che si percepisce quando la si estrae dall’imballo la macchina per cucire Pfaff Quilt Expression 720.
Just by lifting it, an action that is conveniently done thanks to the large retractable handle that allows you to pick it up even with two hands, you can see the difference from any other machine.
At the time of switching on, a further pleasant surprise: the lighting of the work surface is open thanks to the four LED light points correctly positioned so that there are no shadow areas.
The touch-screen is large and functional, and is extremely sensitive and accurate. Entering a sequence of dots and/or letters and numbers is quick and easy even without using the supplied stylus.
On the left side of the screen are the controls:
Pressing the appropriate button once will raise the presser foot 7 mm, pressing it twice will raise it up to 12 mm. Inserting exaggerated thicknesses is super easy, and lowering the feed-dog makes it possible to insert even delicate fabrics such as velvet without ruining it.
The carriage disengagement control is located on the front and is very convenient to use when free-hand sewing, for example, for quilting, darning, free-hand embroidery or attaching buttons.
About the fabric transport jaw della Pfaff Expression 720 SE, ci teniamo a segnalare la qualità del materiale con cui è stata realizzata, oltre a garantire un trascinamento del tessuto professionale, è stata progettata per durare a vita.
Other buttons are the start sewing button, which allows you to sew the stitch or sequence from the beginning, the button to set the sewing speed, the button for immediate stop with stitch reinforcement, and the button to make sure that when the machine stops, the needle is positioned up or down in the fabric. The latter is a very convenient function when sewing patchwork pieces or corners, as it avoids having to lower the needle by hand to point it, canceling possible fabric movement. The Start/Stop button allows you to start sewing even without the foot pedal, convenient when making very long seams such as on draperies or, conversely, for occasional seams of only a few inches.
The scissors logo button activates the thread trimmer system, which brings the 32 threads to the reverse side and cuts them perfectly. Function not to be used with double yarns such as stitching cordonet.
Lower down, conveniently located to activate it without lifting your hand from the work, is the reverse control for reinforcing at the beginning, end, or when needed.
On the top, just below the lid, where the stitch chart is shown, are the 2 spool holders, one of which is vertical to use even the bulkiest bobbins or a second thread for twin-needle stitching. Loading the thread into the bobbin is also possible while sewing, or directly from the needle without having to unthread the machine, therefore practical and fast.
The top threading is very easy thanks to the well-marked thread passages, the automatic needle threader is the magic touch to insert the thread into the eye without any hassle.
Inserting the bobbin into the spool holder is facilitated by the thread passages marked by arrows and a convenient thread cutter, useful for removing excess thread. The bobbin cover also serves as a magnifying glass and can be a valuable aid.
Replacing the feet is quick with the snap-on system; it only takes a few seconds to unhook and rehook one.
Located next to the power button is a usb port that allows updating the software of machine number 710, while on the Quilt Expression 720 it is also possible to save what has been achieved with the Stitch Creator.
Now let's talk about the real non plus ultra of Pfaff machines: the IDT or integrated dual transport system. Owning it in sewing is like having four-wheel drive, an indispensable system when sewing on problematic fabrics-never again fabrics that don't run smoothly! Who likes to see at the end of the sewing process squares or stripes that don't match perfectly? The Pfaff double feed is the only system to have flawless seams even on leather and similar or plasticized materials.

A quante è capitato di cucire l’orlo di un jeans, o un cappotto e notare che il punto diventa troppo piccolo quando aumenta lo spessore del tessuto? Con la Expression 720 SE e il sistema IDt niente più cuciture di lunghezza ‘variabile’ ma solo impunture perfette e uniformi.
Other unique features of these outstanding machines are the space to the right of the needle, a full 25.5 cm from the machine body, and the free arm with 16 cm of useful space to the right of the needle, convenient centimeters for inserting and sewing tubular parts not only at the tip, but also internally, to perform, for example, mending on elbows or knees.
The knob for adjusting thread tension has been eliminated because of the automatic tension that the machine sets according to the stitch selected. Of course, it is always possible to change the automatic setting on the touch-screen for special sewing techniques, to achieve nice curls, or for special threads.
You can mirror points or sequences by touching the appropriate icons, one for classic horizontal mirroring and the other for vertical mirroring.
The settings of these wonderful sewing machines are really numerous: you can choose a language, lock the screen, set the presser foot pressure, twin needle sewing and the distance between the 2 needles so that the machine automatically sets the stitch width.
It is also possible to set the presser foot to rise so that it rises during pause with the needle down, making it easier to turn the fabric, or, if selected, to cut threads automatically.
I punti inseriti sono 274 per il modello 710 e 428 per la Expression 720 che includono, a loro volta, 9 tipi diversi di asola, da quella classica a quelle per tessuti elastici, decorative per giacche e sartoriale. Troviamo ancora 4 tipi di occhiello circolare, programmi per il rammendo automatico e 4 tipi di travetta per rinforzare tasche, passanti, lampo e tasche di camicie. Presenti alfabeti con lettere, simboli e numeri: 3 per la 710 e 4 sulla 720, combinabili con i punti presenti sulla macchina e memorizzabili per poterli eseguire all’occorrenza.
The Scc sewing machine sews stitches up to 9 mm wide and even up to 6 mm long. If you want to make fantastic stitching, you can set the stitching to 6 mm and use cordonetto, or silk stitching thread, to achieve professional results.
Among the many programs, in addition to the basic stitches, we mention the many stitches specifically for quilting, cross stitches, which have little to envy from handmade stitches, openwork stitches, and a multitude of decorative stitches that can be used for projects with the sewing techniques you most prefer
Tapering is a technique that increases or decreases the width of stitches during stitching, creating truly unique and special effects.
On the Quilt Expression 720 model there is a patchwork function that allows you to memorize the length of a seam and repeat it at will, which is very useful when repeatedly sewing many blocks of identical length as in quilting.
Another esclusiva della Expression 720 è lo Stitch Creator: in fact, it is possible to create stitches up to 9 mm wide from scratch or to modify stitches on the machine and store them in the personal menu. It is a function reminiscent of a similar system found on the Pfaff Creative 1475, but much more advanced, since you can see what you make directly on the machine without the need for extra appendages, and it is much easier and faster.

Another special technique is stacked stitches: the effect is particularly decorative if yarns of 2 colors are used with the pairs of stacked stitches, designed to be sewn on top of each other to form combinations dictated by creativity.
Also present are ribbon stitches: single, double and triple. You only need to select one of the specific stitches and add the ribbon, or ribbons, depending on which one you want to achieve among the special creative sewing techniques.
We mention last, but not least, the floating stitches so called since the joining points between the parts of the embroidery are invisible and seem to float on the fabric.
The 720 comes with a toggle foot-lift lever; those who have used it, even once, can no longer do without it since it avoids having to lift the foot with their hands or push the appropriate button.
Anche la placca ago o piastra per cucitura dritta è in dotazione con la Quilt Expression 720, un extra molto apprezzato da chi cuce tessuti particolarmente sottili e delicati e dalle patite del quilting, in quanto il piccolo foro dell’ago evita che il tessuto finisca nella parte inferiore rovinandosi e causando blocchi del lavoro.
