28 Dec Happy Holidays and a Pfaff Passport Giveaway!
Greeting Dear Readers!
I’ve learned through the past few months that multitasking is not my forte´. As I so excitedly announced, Julie Starr and I signed a contract for a second book which required my immediate and devoted attention to receive a 2019 publishing date. We turned in our final package December 5, and then it was Christmas.
Hello and Happy New Year!
These pics taken on December 4, are from our last photo shoot, and we’re on the charming cobblestone street, South Adgers Wharf, in Charleston, SC. The shirt is a favorite pattern, the Sewaholic Granville Shirt, and the self-drafted pencil skirt is sewn in a brown and ivory stretch tweed from Mood Fabrics.
Julie is wearing the Rosa Shirtdress by Tilly and the Buttons, sewn in a faux suede by Shannon Fabrics. This lovely company hosted a book signing for us in Houston two years ago and sent Julie the suede. I’m not sure where it is sold.
Baby Billy joined in for the final photo – I’d say we are both happy to wrap up this project!
____________________________________
In November I took time out for a trip to Hawaii at the invitation of the Hawaii Stitchery and Fibre Arts Guild. Flying with an extra large suitcase loaded with clothes, I presented a trunk show and lecture (for lack of a better word) followed by a two-day Tunic Bible Workshop.
May I just say Hawaiian Hospitality ranks right up there with Southern Hospitality? I was greeted with a Hawaiian Feast upon arrival…………
and showered with handmade gifts before departing. Are these Aloha Shirt coasters not adorable!
Best of all was connecting with this talented, knowledgeable and friendly group of sewists during my stay.
I’ve also enjoyed observing the cultural aspects of tunics throughout Tunic Bible workshops.
The 2018 Ready to Wear Fast
To say I have been inspired by the 2018 Ready to Wear Fasters is an understatement. I created a Facebook page for the Fasters which became a supportive community of goal oriented women who enthusiastically shared their successes, offered and reached out for advice, and kept the momentum alive throughout the year.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet these wonderful women and one man! As I’ve said in public presentations, the online sewing community has dramatically elevated the world of fashion sewing, and has been a huge motivation to me.
WELL DONE FASTERS!
I will not be hosting a 2019 Ready to Wear Fast but the Facebook page will remain open for those who wish to continue.
___________________________________________
So the book is done and the Fast is over………………………what to do, what to do………..
How about a Sewing Machine Giveaway?!! Pfaff is celebrating our sewing by giving away a Passport 2 !

Posted at 09:41h, 28 DecemberA new sewing machine?! Of course, I want it, who wouldn’t? Please, please, please. And thank you! 😉
Deborah Findlay
Posted at 09:44h, 28 DecemberI would love a Pfaff Passport 2! It would make sewing at the cottage so easy…easy to carry plus contains all the bells and whistles needed for creative sewing. It would make sewing away from home a breeze and it looks super cool! I am inspired again for the new year! Looking forward to the new book!
Beverly Vance
Posted at 09:44h, 28 DecemberI attend lots of sewing classes and retreats. I would love to have this machine to make transport lighter and easier! It’s beautiful!
Madeline Rodriguez
Posted at 09:45h, 28 DecemberHello Sara, missed seeing your post! Glad your year was productive with a second book coming out. I can’t wait to see what it will bring! So as far as a new machine is concerned well I retired December 2017. This year I did some traveling but I want to do more! I would like to visit places where I can learn sewing or weaving techniques. Having a light weight machine would be so helpful! I am looking forward to 2019, I for one will keep the fast going. I hope you have a wonderful 2019 and I look forward to all your teachings! Madeline
Trudy Anderson
Posted at 09:46h, 28 DecemberI would give it to my daughter who finally has a permanent National park position, her own apartment where she can sew and enjoy not moving every 6 months.
Karen Parr
Posted at 09:47h, 28 DecemberI’ve enjoyed the challenge of the RTW fast and am in the process of making my last project – an outfit for a wedding on 31st. I’m trying to do this at the same time as packing up my house! A new Pfaff sewing machine would be wonderful, especially as my current machine is on its last legs and I will have little space once we move into our temporary accommodation.

Posted at 06:58h, 03 JanuaryKaren,
Congratulations on making it through the 2018 RTW Fast. Well done!
Susan DiGilio
Posted at 09:48h, 28 DecemberI inherited my dear mother in-laws Pfaff that she loved, but it is from the 40’s. (I think)
It would be lovely to have one with all the new bells and whistles, 😊
Rita
Posted at 09:48h, 28 DecemberThank you again . I continue to learn from your post and appreciate others sewing talents. This machine would surely help.
Melissa Kenning
Posted at 09:49h, 28 DecemberTheir IDT system would be perfect for all the slippery fabrics and having it be easily transportable would make it so great for taking to my sewing meetups
Jane McCormick
Posted at 09:49h, 28 DecemberWould love the passport to take to sew8ng and quilting classes! Happy new year!
peggy leah
Posted at 09:49h, 28 DecemberI agree! Who wouldn’t want a new sewing machine. What pattern did
you use for the lavendar wrap dress? There are so many out
there.. It fits you so well.
Barbara Moss
Posted at 09:49h, 28 DecemberI have been using a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0 for many years and have absolutely loved it – won’t even consider using another machine for my day-to-day sewing.. Having another Pfaff that is more portable would be the perfect addition to my sewing since I often take my machine to classes and workshops.
Pamela Holmes
Posted at 09:49h, 28 DecemberIt’s a beautiful machine and it would be a huge upgrade from my current machine! As a side note, I have so enjoyed participating in the 2018 RTW Fast. Thank you for hosting!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:59h, 03 JanuaryThank you for participating Pamela!
Sue White
Posted at 09:50h, 28 DecemberI would love a portable machine to take to our summer home in WA. Glad to hear about all your adventures—happy sewing!
Dawn Jones
Posted at 09:51h, 28 DecemberI think the best question is why wouldn’t I want to own a Pfaff Passport 2, lol? I currently own a Pfaff 1171 that was bought new in 1992 but has lovingly found a second ownership with me. This is the only Pfaff I have owned and I love it, there is truly nothing like a Pfaff. I do worry about repairs on this one as I heard parts are becoming harder to come by. I would love to own a new Pfaff so that I could take some of the pressure off my old Pfaff, that way they could share the work load. It would also be nice to compare and see if the new Pfaffs hold their own or surpass the old ones. Thank you so much for the chance to win, someone will be super lucky. Have an awesome day.
Jean OReilly
Posted at 09:51h, 28 DecemberMerry Christmas and Happy New Year. I would love the Passport! I live in NJ, right outside of NYC, and have met many sewists in the last few years via classes at FIT, etc. I wear items I have made and talk up the virtues of getting the color, style, and fit desired, but that can only happen by doing it myself. Want to show others how sewing is not crazy hard, but does take concentration and commitment. Thanks for continuing to inspire!
Susanne
Posted at 09:51h, 28 DecemberThe Pfaff would be a great update to what I am using to sew with. Congratulations on grandbaby Billy!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 07:00h, 03 JanuaryThank you, Suzanne! He is the sweetest baby ever 😉
Susie Butler
Posted at 09:52h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff – it is so much more portable, and it would see the country with me as I take my pup to dog shows – we’d be a great team – my pup, my Pfaff, and me!!
Cynthia Sykes
Posted at 09:52h, 28 DecemberWho wouldn’t want a new swing machine to start the year off right!
Anne Wolf
Posted at 09:53h, 28 DecemberWhat a lovely machine- and easy to take to classes and workshops which I enjoy. And thanks for hosting this, and your blog..
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 07:00h, 03 JanuaryThank you for being a reader and follower, Anne!
Monique Trahan
Posted at 09:53h, 28 DecemberI’ve been RTW fasting for two years and plan to continue for as long as I can. This has really upped my sewing skills! I would love this machine because it has features not available on the vintage machine that I use. I love the idea of using a button to sew instead of a footpedal and would love to experiment with the speed control. But I especially love all the decorative stitches! Something not available to me now. So many possibilities! So many ideas!
Gayla Edmond
Posted at 09:54h, 28 DecemberI have a very nice Baby Lock sewing machine but it is large and heavy. It would be so nice to have a more portable machine that I could take on the go and still have it do all the things I need it to do. I have never had a Pfaff machine and I would love to try it out on all those projects on my To Make List!
Susan Tinnerello
Posted at 09:54h, 28 DecemberBesides the convenient small size it would have to be the IDT feature. Not to have to install a walking floor would be divine. I have been interested in a Pfaff for awhile, so to own one to get to know it better would be terrific.. So happy to see you again. Congrats on the new grandchild. More details on the book any time soon?
Kim Amann
Posted at 09:54h, 28 DecemberAlthought my FB particiption the the RTW Fast has been non existent, I have been sewing, learning fitting techniques and what styles look good for me. I have enjoyed seeing the talents of the posts and have been inspired by every post. Fabrics, embellishments, patterns, and love of sewing has inspired me to reach higher and try a new technique with every project. A new machine would be a great way to start out my RTW Fast for 2019. Thank you for the inspiration, motivation and community we shared in 2018.
Lisa Jones
Posted at 09:54h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a pfaff sewing machine!! Thanks for a wonderful year of sewing instruction and inspiration. Happy New Year
Lisa Milam
Posted at 09:54h, 28 DecemberThe RTW has taught me that I can survive without ready made clothes. It has also given me more confidence in my sewing abilities. I’m now excited to wear clothes that I make for myself. If I had the lightweight Pfaff, I would be able to take my sewing anywhere with ease and continue with the RTW fast! ( Although, I would like to buy a sweater every once in a while 😀).
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 07:04h, 03 JanuaryIsn’t it an amazing experience to wean yourself from RTW shopping? Sure, very few people can be totally independent, but to break the habit and dependency is such a liberating experience. Congratulations!
Barbara Barrett
Posted at 09:54h, 28 Decemberwhat a lovely give away. Happy New year to all my fellow fasters. I am sewing on my “entry level” sewing machine that I purchased 3 years ago. I’d love a new Pfaff! Thanks!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 07:04h, 03 JanuaryCongratulations on making it through the Fast, Barbara!
Catherine Smith
Posted at 09:55h, 28 DecemberWould love to have a new sewing machine. My old one is on its “last stitch” and I sew for my family often. I have also been concerned about not seeing your posts and was wondering if you’re okay. So relieved this morning when I received the new post. Good luck with your new venture and your new family member.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 07:07h, 03 JanuaryMany thanks for your concern, Catherine! Getting the book ready by the deadline, followed by Christmas was almost more than I could handle. It’s nice to be back!
Brandy Knowles
Posted at 09:55h, 28 DecemberA Passport 2-oh my! That would be heavenly, as the current Pfaff I own is about 35 years old with no bells or whistles. My sewing and creativity could really use the boost! Thanks for the opportunity.
Judy Weseman
Posted at 09:55h, 28 DecemberGreat year of sewing. Thanks for your inspiration. I’d enjoy the Pfaff 2 now that I find myself traveling to my adult children’s homes for spot clothing repair, drapery and throw cushion projects, and about everything else on the list they can think of. Happy New Year to my fellow sexists.
JoAnne Stuparich
Posted at 09:55h, 28 DecemberHello,
Welcome back – I have missed your postings. Congratulations on the new book! You have been my inspiration to give up buying clothes and sew them myself.
I would so love a Passport 2 – light weight enough for me to take to classes instead of trying to lift a heavy machine – it would be wonderful to own.
Happy New Year!
JoAnne
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 07:08h, 03 JanuaryThank you, Joanne! It’s nice to be back 😉
Kim Baker
Posted at 09:56h, 28 DecemberWonderful post. I would love to have the Pfaff Passport 2. My Pfaff 7650 of many years recently died and I could sure use a new machine. I love the Pfaff IDT system.
Patricia Flynn
Posted at 09:56h, 28 DecemberI have always wanted a Pfaff, but have never been able to get one. The quality of the Pfaff is incredible. Congratulations on your new book! I have your Tunic book and really enjoy it.
Marjorie Graham
Posted at 09:57h, 28 DecemberFirst Sarah, thank you for setting up and hosting the RTW Fast. And congratulations on the new book.
I would love the Passport 2 to use as a travel machine. I attend retreats and workshops and honestly hate having to pack up and transport my full size machine. I have friends here who sew on Pfaff and love them. The machine I learned on was a Pfaff 130, built in the early 1950’s. A fabulous machine.
Happy new year to you and your family.,
Marjorie
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 07:09h, 03 JanuaryMy pleasure, Marjorie!
Deborah Penner
Posted at 09:57h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the portable Pfaff so I can take it to visit my grandkids. The 8 year old twins have just learned to sew.
Marjorie M Baker
Posted at 09:57h, 28 DecemberI’d love to have a Pfaff 2.0 to take to sewing classes because the feet are interchangeable with my Creative Vision.
Wendy Richardson
Posted at 09:58h, 28 DecemberI’ve been teaching my granddaughter how to sew. I would love to give her a compact sewing machine that would work well in the little apartment they live in. I’ve been making her clothes for years and she’s excited to try making her own. I’m going to keep up the fast for 2019. It’s been very inspirational.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:29h, 04 JanuaryWendy – Thank you for participating in the RTW Fast – good luck in 2019!
Molly Hayden
Posted at 09:58h, 28 DecemberThis has been a wonderful and inspiring experience. I’m sad there won’t be an official 2019 RTW Fast, however that doesn’t mean I won’t continue on my own. There is just too much lovely fabric and inspiration out there!
Congratulations on the new book, I am looking forward to every page of my copy!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 07:11h, 03 JanuaryKim,
The FB page will remain open for anyone who wants to continue. Many thanks for participating in the 2018 Fast!
Cindy Braziel
Posted at 09:59h, 28 DecemberI would love a new sewing machine! Can’t wait to purchase the new book and I absolutely LOVE my Tunic Bible. Thanks for continuing to inspire us in our seeing endeavors.

Posted at 07:10h, 03 JanuaryThank you, Cindy!

Posted at 07:13h, 03 JanuaryThank you so much, Cindy! I love connecting with fellow sewists!
Jo-Anne K Kristensen
Posted at 09:59h, 28 DecemberIn about two years, my husband and I will be starting our retirement adventure. We are going to sell our home and go mobile in an RV full-time. We are so excited to see this great beautiful country of ours!
Of course, I will need to downsize everything including my sewing. I have sewn on a Pfaff 7550 for about 25 years. The compact Pfaff Passport 2.0 will be the perfect on the road sewing machine..
Kim Dimond
Posted at 10:24h, 28 DecemberReading some of the replies. You are at the same stage we are. Bought the RV and in 2 years we will put the RV living in to play..
Sue Nichols
Posted at 10:00h, 28 DecemberIt’s good to see you back online!
I occasionally attend sewing bees here in our small coastal Maine town, or attend sewing classes at our local
independent fabric shop, so a lightweight PFAFF 2 sewing machine would come in very handy!
Thanks for offering us a New Year’s surprise:-)
Dana Marie Hague
Posted at 10:00h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a Pfaff Passport because then I would have a quality machine that is portable – for all those sewing classes I am resolving to take in 2019!
Natalie Tangen
Posted at 10:00h, 28 DecemberI would love to give this machine to my daughter!
Jo Barley
Posted at 10:01h, 28 DecemberII am somewhat familiar with the passport as I teach children to sew. It is difficult for me to lift my heavy machine to take to quilting and classes. It would also be wonderful to pass on to a talented sewist of the future.
Joan Partrick
Posted at 10:01h, 28 Decemberi’ve had to downsize recently. So a smaller machine would be soooo helpful. Have been a faithful Pfaaf user since the early 90s!
Bobbie Calgaro
Posted at 10:01h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff sewing machine for my 91 year old mom. She sees all the time and still makes 95% of her clothes. She’s using my old Bernina and has a horrible time turning the knob for the buttonhole maker. This would make life easier for her and the fact that it’s compact and lightweight would be nice too.
Michele
Posted at 10:01h, 28 DecemberThanks for the opportunity to win a Pfaff. I’ve been eying the dual feed for years and would love a more portable machine to take with me to classes. After a 50 year wait, I’m finally learning sewing and fitting techniques I wish I’d learned in my teens!
Rachel Le Grand
Posted at 10:02h, 28 DecemberI would like to own a Passport 2, it would be perfect to take with me when I go to meet-ups where we sew little girl sundresses for charity. Also I’d love to try the 70 different stitches, especially the decorative ones on doll items that I make. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
Amy Anderson
Posted at 10:03h, 28 DecemberA Passport 2.o? What a wonderful machine to take on adventures by car, plane, RV or boat. I am just learning all of the goodies on my new Pfaff Icon. I can’t count the number of Pfaffs that I have had in my sewing life., and a Passport would be a wonderful addition.
LInda Galante
Posted at 10:04h, 28 DecemberI would live to own a pfaff passport because, it’s a might machine in a compact size. Iit would be so fun to take it with me to sewing classes and retreats and to weekends at the beach!
Bernadette Dizzine
Posted at 10:04h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff passport 2.0. My 30 year old machine has a handle, but now that I am retired (and older) I find it difficult to lug around, not just to classes but to different parts of the house if I need more space than my sewing space/office/guest room will afford. Thanks for the updates! Isn’t being a grandmother fun!!! I’d love to see what you sew for Billy.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:31h, 04 JanuaryBernadette ~ Being a grandmother is the best ever! I haven’t sewn anything for Billy yet but look forward to it😉
Alexandra Ragland
Posted at 10:04h, 28 DecemberWould love to experience what the excitement about the IDT is all about!
Rebecca Huffman
Posted at 10:04h, 28 DecemberA lightweight machine to take to classes and seminars would be awesome! My old Pfaff is reliable but heavy. Decorative stitches would be a bonus!
Jo Barley
Posted at 10:04h, 28 Decemberi am somewhat familiar with the passport as I teach children to sew. It is a lovely machine and I have difficulty lifting my heavy machine to take to quilting and classes. It would also be wonderful to pass on to a talented sewist of the future ,
Renee Wuenstel
Posted at 10:04h, 28 DecemberI would love to win a new sewing machine to give to my sister. Her “ancient” machine broke for the final time and can no longer be repaired. She cannot afford a new machine and really misses sewing. It would make her very happy.
Virginia Cairrao
Posted at 10:05h, 28 DecemberWow-what an opportunity to win a Pfaff sewing machine. My husband purchased a simple machine for me when we were first married-28 years ago. I have sewn on it for my 3 children through the years and now I will soon welcome my first grandchild! I would love to have a new machine to sew adorable clothes for my new grandchild!
Thank you for the opportunity-Happy New Year!
Elaine Hamilton
Posted at 10:05h, 28 DecemberI have always wanted a Pfaff. Loved this machine at first sight. Thank you for a chance to win.
Andrea Birkan
Posted at 10:06h, 28 DecemberThank you Sarah for inspiring me to get back into sewing for myself and not spending money on expensive badly made clothes. I would love this small Pfaff machine to shlep to all the sewing classes that I now take. Happy 2019. Here’s to lots more fun sewing and inspiration! Can’t wait for the new book.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:32h, 04 JanuaryAndrea ~ You sew so beautifully that you inspire me! It’s a two way street for sure 😉
Brenda Wetli
Posted at 10:07h, 28 DecemberWhat a great machine for RV travel! I really miss sewing if we are gone for a week.
Cheryl V Fraracci
Posted at 10:08h, 28 DecemberNice to read your posts again. Congrats on the new book.
That Pfaff is so cute. If I had it I wouldn’t have to lug my (heavier) Pfaff I bought in 1981 and is still going strong. I’ve always felt smug that my machine had a walking foot when no one was talking about them. Great machines.
Emily Howell
Posted at 10:09h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a Pfaff! I am slowly starting to sew for myself and would love a great new machine to take my garments to a more professional level. Thank you!
Lisa Tressler
Posted at 10:09h, 28 DecemberI have been using the very basic Singer I purchased in college back in the 80s. I would love to have a machine with triple zigzag for knits, blindhem stitches, droppable feed dog and probably many other features I’ve yet to discover. The small size is perfect, as my “sewing room” is actually a combination guest room/office- I sew on the nightstand!
Martha Schildknecht
Posted at 10:09h, 28 DecemberI would love to be able to take my machine with me wherever I go! I’ve heard Pfaffs are wonderful, but have never sewn on one! The features on this compact model look terrific!
Michele DeFay
Posted at 10:10h, 28 DecemberI would LOVE to have this machine. I am in a tiny apartment right now trying to sew on a very old Singer. I would be thrilled to have this beautiful machine.
Treasa Antony
Posted at 10:10h, 28 DecemberHello,
Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I would love to own this sewing machine so that I can use it when I go to class to improve my sewing knowledge.
Thanks
Heather Zinck
Posted at 10:10h, 28 DecemberI love reading your posts… you are such an inspiration.
I would love to win a new sewing machine. Mine is 35 years old.
Happy New Year!
Andi
Posted at 10:10h, 28 DecemberMy Pfaff 2046 nearly didn’t make it out alive from being transported to a workshop. I was VERY lucky to find a wonderful repair shop that resoldered the broken wires on the circuit board (after a different repair shop insisted the machine was dead and I’d have to buy a new one due to lack of replacement parts). I’d welcome a machine fit for travel so as to preserve the life of my workhorse and to experience the newer features now. available. Many thanks!
Rianna Brown
Posted at 10:11h, 28 DecemberWhy would I want to own a Pfaff Passport 2? After 47 years of sewing and having been a RTW 2018 faster, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the RTW industry has lost a customer. I lasted the 2018 RTW Fast and have proved to myself that I don’t need to buy RTW clothing anymore! This year of fasting has taught me not to make impulse buys that disappoint time and time again. I am confident in my own makes and much happier for it…… and may just have created a little monster in my daughter who is now also thinking twice before she buys clothing and regularly requests me to make clothing for her. She lives 700kms away, so to have a portal sewing machine and hop on a plane to visit her and sew would be her and my ultimate!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:35h, 04 JanuaryRianna ~ Congratulations for making it through the RTW Fast! Impulse buys are the downfall for most of us, Happy 2019!

Posted at 10:11h, 28 DecemberThanks Sarah for hosting such an inspirational group ! Thanks also to you & Pfaff for such a wonderful giveaway – I’d love to win this machine to take to classes & share with my niece who’s learning g to sew ! Happy New Year – I cant wait for the new book to come out 😍😍😍
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:36h, 04 JanuaryThank you, Mary Ellen for being part of the RTW Fast. I loved your contributions!
Barbara Williams
Posted at 10:12h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a Pfaff, and this machine would be wonderful for classes and travel, or an at home project.
Sarah, thank you for all you have done to encourage home sewing. Not only are you a lovely lady, you sew beautifully and with such great fashion sense. I agree with you that the internet has caused a huge surge in home sewing, which is wonderful. Again, thank you dear lady.

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! It’s a pleasure for me to share my sewing experiences 😉
CAROLYN ROMETO
Posted at 10:14h, 28 DecemberI purchased a fabulous pfaff back in the early 80’s. It was the very best machine I could afford. I used heavily until about the early 2000’s. It was such a great machine. Nothing I’ve had since compares. I would love another one! I miss your inspirational posts!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:37h, 04 JanuaryThank you, Carolyn. I plan to be back in full during 2019!
Yvonne Mullins
Posted at 10:14h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a small portable sewing machine!
Andrea Kneilands
Posted at 10:15h, 28 DecemberI would love the Pfaff for traveling to classes , quilt weekends and camping! My small machine is old and the foot broke!
Linda Hutchings
Posted at 10:15h, 28 DecemberI used to own a pfaff and loved it. I always regretted trading it in. I’d love another one! Thank you for offering this opportunity.
Christie Hylwa
Posted at 10:16h, 28 DecemberThis machine would be perfect for carrying to my daughters home to sew baby clothes for my first granddaughter- born just today!! I am already a winner!!!
Mary Lewis
Posted at 10:16h, 28 DecemberA Pfaff Passport 2 would be just the thing to jumpstart my sewing adventures!!! Thank you for all you do for your fellow srwists! You inspire me every time I read your posts. Happy New Year!

Jacki Aldridge
Posted at 10:17h, 28 DecemberFirst, I would like to know if the 2018 RTW Fast fashions can be viewed by anyone. I did not participate, but would love to see what your participants have made and also learn what I can from them. I will be retiring in 2019 and plan to be camped at my sewing machine much more than I have been able to in the past couple of years. Secondly, I am interested in the Pfaff give-away so I can participate more in our ASG all-day programs. My machine is installed in a cabinet and it would be very difficult to remove and haul to these events. A smaller machine would be ideal and more light-weight. I also met a designer who teaches girls/teens how to sew and I am interested in assisting her with that. Most do not have machines so I could bring it to the class and spread my knowledge and love of sewing to a new generation. Love what you do too.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:20h, 06 JanuaryJacki,
The 2018 Fast is a private page set up just for the Fasters. – Sorry 😟
Cheryl Lemmons
Posted at 10:18h, 28 DecemberA friend recently acquired a Pfaff and loves it. I’d really like to give one a try!
Nicki
Posted at 10:18h, 28 DecemberI am starting to see activewear and the IDT system would undoubtedly be a huge help! It looks like an awesome little machine!
I am so looking forward to learning more about your new book too!
Tiffany Whitehead
Posted at 10:19h, 28 DecemberI would love to own the Pfaff machine. I have never owned a Pfaff machine. I know I could do lots of fun projects with it.
Thanks for all the inspiration that you give us !!!
Nova
Posted at 10:20h, 28 DecemberWelcome back! I have missed your blog posts, so here is to a Happy New Year filled with inspiration from you and your other readers. As for a passport 2.0; what’s not to love about a portable Pfaff with IDT?

Posted at 10:20h, 28 DecemberMy daughter lives in a very small apartment and she is now realizing how valuable a sewing machine is in a home. I would love for her to have the Pfaff Passport 2 so she can make curtains and mend her clothes. Maybe she will start making her clothes too. Thanks for organizing a great 2018 RTW Fast.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:20h, 06 JanuaryMy pleasure, Rosemary! Glad you participated 😊

Posted at 10:21h, 28 December2019 is the year I will be reconnecting to my love of garment sewing. What a great start it would be to win a brand new sewing machine!!
LISA MAGEE
Posted at 10:21h, 28 DecemberWould love to use this for my monthly sewing workshop
Dianne Gaines
Posted at 10:22h, 28 DecemberA Pfaff Passport 2, WOW!! Yes, of course, would love to have one. My machine is older and unable to get some of the accessories for it now. Plus it did not come with a case, so traveling with it is not exactly easy. So would be a dream to have this!!
Kim Dimond
Posted at 10:22h, 28 DecemberAs a new bride I accompanied my Army husband to Germany for a tour of duty. (1977) I bought my first sewing machine there and it was a Pfaff. I still have it but it requires a voltage adapter so I do not use it. I would love the nostalgia of sewing on the new model and compare it to my other working machines.
Rosa Andrew
Posted at 10:22h, 28 DecemberReally excited to see your new book when it comes out, I have so enjoyed using the Tunic Bible. A new Pfaff machine would just make me so happy.
Catherine Whitt
Posted at 10:23h, 28 DecemberI think every road trip should have a sewing machine packed neatly in the car! Smart to see a trend made portable by Pfaff. I would love to share at friends homes too…. btw, love that baby carriage photo! We would love to have you visit Jacksonville sometime but I may try to get to St. Pete soon.
Helen Maciejewski
Posted at 10:24h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a traveling sewing machine to take to my grandson’s house. He wants me to teach him how to sew! That would be so much fun.
Thanks for this generous give-a-way, too.
Helga Hamlin
Posted at 10:24h, 28 DecemberA new Pfaff, always up for that. I have been using my trusted Pfaff 1222 SE since my husband purchased it in 1980. I finally acquired another Pfaff 1222 SE just in case my trusted machine breaks and found out the “spare” is actually 6 years newer and sews just as wonderful. Always can use another Pfaff though, yes I would love to win this one. I have done the 2018 RTW fast and also I have not posted anything I have sewn more than any other year ever. I will continue the fast into 2019 with one addition of scaling back in my fabric purchase. Thank you for hosting the 2018 RTW Fast, for keeping the facebook page open and for the inspirations you are giving our sewing community.
Allison McLendon
Posted at 10:25h, 28 DecemberHonestly, I want to win to motivate me to sew again. I have stepped away from sewing and would love to have something new to excite me again. ❤️
Mary Schade
Posted at 10:25h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a Passport 2 to take when I go to my sewing classes with friends I’ve had for many years. All of own Pfaff machine. My 2140 is getting long in the tooth and while it still sews great I would like something lighter to carry. No fun going up and down stairs with the heavier machines. Happy New Year.
I know whoever gets the machine will LOVE it.
Glad you are back blogging
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:21h, 06 JanuaryIt’s nice to be back Mary!
Elizabeth Jones
Posted at 10:27h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff because I need a machine that can do a 3step zig zag and I’ve never tried a Pfaff but so hear they are wonderful machines!
Cindy
Posted at 10:27h, 28 DecemberLoved participating in the RTW fast this year, Thank you so much for hosting the fast,
This year, my elderly Pfaff had to retire from its service to me after more than 20 years. I would love to welcome a new Pfaff into my sewing room!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:22h, 06 JanuaryThanks for participating, Cindy!
Kelly Oster
Posted at 10:27h, 28 DecemberI learned to sew in junior high from my mother who said – if you sew you can have as many clothes as you want! I’ve been a sewer my whole life but plan to put a little more emphasis on that hobby this coming year. I would love to be able to share this skill with my daughter so if I won, would give this portable to her for her apartment. Congrats to the lucky recipient and may 2019 always be on the grain!
Robin Rivera
Posted at 10:28h, 28 DecemberCongratulations on your new book! I have missed your blog posts. I would love to finally be able to have a Pfaff sewing machine. I took a class at a Sewing Expo and was able to sew on a Pfaff; it was a very responsive machine. I especially liked the IDT system so that it controlled the fabric in garment sewing. Thank you.
Bridget
Posted at 10:28h, 28 DecemberA compact machine would be great for going to sewing workshops!
Ellen Hamor
Posted at 10:29h, 28 DecemberThe 2018 RTW fast has been an inspiration to so many. It would be so nice to have a smaller machine. Happy New Year!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:23h, 06 JanuaryIt was an inspiration to me as well, Ellen. Thank you!
Kim Ebert
Posted at 10:29h, 28 DecemberHello! Avid home sewer here! Thanks for the sewing inspiration you’ve given us this year.
I would love to win the Pfaff Passport. I confess I have a Pfaff Creative Vision. My ONLY complaint is that I have to alternate between embroidery and sewing projects.
I would love this little machine so I could use it for sewing projects and when traveling.
Thanks for having this giveaway. The person who wins this machine is doing to love it. The IDT feature is amazing.
Happy sewing to all!
Janice Stokes
Posted at 10:30h, 28 DecemberHappy holidays – you have been very busy this year! Looking forward to your 2nd book! I’d love the Pfaff sewing machine as I will be teaching my daughter and granddaughter how to sew quilts in 2019! Thank you for you wonderful posts and I hope you have a more restful 2019!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:24h, 06 JanuaryHa Ha Ha! Restful hasn’t happened for a while – the goal is not to be overloaded I suppose 😉
Debbie
Posted at 10:32h, 28 DecemberSarah, thank you so much for all your inspiration in helping me in my quest for sewing better, learning more and increasing my desire to perfect my sewing talents! I would absolutely love to win the Pfaff Passport 2. I take sewing classes and it would be so much easier to travel with that. I just recently signed up for the Tunic Bible class in Tampa in April, and am looking so forward to meeting you along with Julie!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:25h, 06 JanuaryDebbie,
We cannot wait! See you in Tampa 😉
Betty Morgan
Posted at 10:32h, 28 DecemberI would love using the special stitches to sew for my granddaughters!!
Judy Jacque Miller
Posted at 10:32h, 28 DecemberIt would be amazing to win the Pfaff, Passport 2, which would be great for taking to classes. I am still sewing on my 1980’s Pfaff because the stitch quality is the best. Thank you for all of your inspiration!
Belinda May
Posted at 10:33h, 28 DecemberFree motion quilting! Oh yes that’s what I would to be able to do.
Ilse Moore
Posted at 10:33h, 28 DecemberI would love to win a new Pfaff sewing machine. It would make it easy for me to take it along on our annual 10 week staycation in Rhode Island and sew for the granddaughter. Would love to teach her using a sewing machine as well. I used to own a Pfaff in Germany but couldn’t take it with me when I emigrated to the US 53 years ago
Ilse Moore
Elizabeth Claytor
Posted at 10:33h, 28 DecemberA new Pfaff Passport 2! My old and currently working machine was a gift when I graduated from high school over 50 years ago. I’d like a new Pfaff when I retire from teaching in the spring! Book ends to my career! Now, I’m sewing for my grand child, baby Gigi.
RENEE ANN BERRY
Posted at 10:33h, 28 DecemberWinning a Pfaff Passport 2 would be amazing! My Viking 920S crapped out about 5 years ago and I’ve been using a very used Baby Lock as a replacement. If that goes I only have my Singer treadle machine to fall back on.
Linda Berube
Posted at 10:34h, 28 DecemberGreat to have you back blogging Sarah! I would love to have this machine as I could take it aboard our boat in the summer time!
Sueann Walter
Posted at 10:34h, 28 DecemberThis machine sounds perfect. As I get older, I find it more difficult to drag a sewing machine to a class or gathering, but I so enjoy the company of other sewing! This would be a nice win.
Karla Crane
Posted at 10:35h, 28 DecemberI would love to have another Pfaff Pasport. I had one and gave it to my son!
Deborah Weber
Posted at 10:35h, 28 DecemberThank you for hosting the 2018 RTW fast. It was a fun and inspiring experience. I have cleaned out my closet of unused and ill fitting clothes and enjoyed sewing new fabrics and patterns. So, a new sewing machine would be the icing on the cake. The Pfaff Passport 2 would be a wonderful addition to my sewing room. Thank you for a great year of inspiration and thanks to all of the RTW fasters who shared so many beautiful me made projects.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:26h, 06 JanuaryDeborah,
Thank you for participating! It was inspirational to me as well 😉
J K Williams

Ann cook
Posted at 10:36h, 28 DecemberWould love a machine to travel with. I have made several tunics with the Tunic Bible and look forward to your next book. Happy new year !
Stuart Williams
Posted at 10:36h, 28 DecemberMy large Pfaff sewing machine is my favorite thing I have ever purchased! It is big!! I want to go to the 40th annual Smocking Arts Guild of America convention in 2019 and take some classes. I’ve been worried about lugging my big machine so I would love to have a Pfaff Passport – small and compact but still a Pfaff – to take with me!
Connie Vogt
Posted at 10:37h, 28 DecemberMy goal for 2019 is to spend more time sewing and sewing with friends. a Pfaff Passport 2 to travel to and from would just be ideal.
Can’t wait for the new book to come out to provide even more inspiration. Love your blog!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:27h, 06 JanuaryThank you, Connie! Glad to have it done😉
Nelda Basenberg
Posted at 10:37h, 28 DecemberI have sewn on Pfaff machines for 20 years or more. I love them and would especially love having the Passport to add to my sewing room!
Sheila Hester
Posted at 10:38h, 28 DecemberI have never sewed on or owned a Pfaff sewing machine. That said, I would love to have the chance at winning this one.
Diane Earl
Posted at 10:41h, 28 DecemberI use my Pfaff CS Pro sewing/embroidery machine every day in my sewing room, but another one to take to classes or weekends would be a dream come true. They are the best!
Vicki Wolfe
Posted at 10:41h, 28 DecemberWhat a back saver when participating in charity sewing events! No more struggling down the stairs with a heavy machine! Thank you Pfaff!!
Rhonda Gatti
Posted at 10:41h, 28 DecemberI would like ve town this Pfaff Passport 2 sewing machine in order to have an extra machine to teach my daughter to sew! The quality of Pfaff is beyond fabulous.
Cheryl Ward
Posted at 10:42h, 28 DecemberAt the last sewing class I took I hauled my 40 year old Kenmore sewing machine each week! I would love to take another class and this would be the perfect portable machine. I am just getting back into sewing and hope to share the joy with my granddaughter.
Melony Almind
Posted at 10:44h, 28 DecemberI would live to own a pfaff passport 2!
It would enhance my sewing.
Lyndalee Korn
Posted at 10:46h, 28 DecemberI have a very old Pfaff and would love to pass this one to my daughter. I love Pfaff
Products.
Ann Boyd Briggs
Posted at 10:47h, 28 DecemberI would love to be able to sew again! My old sewing machine will only stitch in reverse. The Pfaff Passport 2.0 would be ideal! I recently had back surgery which limits to amount I can carry to 20 pounds. The Passport 2.0 weight of 13.9 pounds is perfect. Being able to sew clothes for myself again would be sew wonderful! The Passport 2.0 has so many features especially the 70 different stitches that would be amazing to embellish clothes.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:29h, 06 JanuaryYou certainly deserve a new machine, Ann!
Lynn McClain
Posted at 10:48h, 28 DecemberHello, this sewing machine would be wonderful to take with me on vacation to our cottage. Also, my granddaughter has been asking me to teach her to sew and this looks like a great sewing machine to show her the basics. Thank you!

Posted at 10:52h, 28 DecemberThe Pfaff Passport is a great machine. I own the Pfaff Icon and would love to have a smaller machine to take to classes with me. The Passport would be the ideal machine to take!
Lindsey Johns
Posted at 10:52h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a travel sewing machine. My girlfriends and I do an annual sewing retreat and this would be an awesome machine to bring along. Not to mention, it’s a step up from my everyday machine! 😉 thanks for hosting the giveaway, Sarah, and for all you do for the sewing community!
Linda H
Posted at 10:53h, 28 DecemberI would love to have this Pfaff! My Pfaff was purchased new in 1980, and is still going strong w/o any issues. I can only begin to imagine how many impressive updates and upgrades, there would be for me to discover on a new Pfaff! Sew much fun! (pun intended)
Stephanie Costello
Posted at 10:55h, 28 DecemberI would so love to have a small machine to take to classes. I only sew in class and my old old machine is soooo heavy. Yay Pfaff.

Patti Senk
Posted at 10:57h, 28 DecemberWhat a great and generous giveaway. Would love to win to have a compact and lighter-weight machine to take to classes and travel with. Of course the other reason is that it is a Pfaff. Thanks for the chance and Happy New Year.

Shai Sevier
Posted at 11:01h, 28 DecemberI love Phaff and a Passport would be so much easier to tote to sewing retreats than my larger machine!
Diane Lord
Posted at 11:01h, 28 DecemberI am a die-hard Pfaff customer. I already own a wonderful Pfaff sewing machine but it is a bit bulky to take to classes and other sewing events so I would love to win this smaller machine! Pfaff is the only machine I will ever own. I love them that much!

Posted at 11:05h, 28 DecemberI am going to be honest ~ I could never afford a Pfaff sewing machine. To win one would be incredible!!!
Thanks Pfaff for offering this machine to be won by a lucky someone…
I love your blog Sarah and look forward to having your new book.

Marcia Sue Clever
Posted at 11:06h, 28 DecemberI SEW need a new sewing machine and a pfaff passport-2-0 would hit the mark. I am looking forward to your second book and I do miss your more regular blog posts. I am not a Facebook person. Good luck with the book launch in 3019!

Posted at 11:07h, 28 DecemberI would love to win a fancy sewing especially one that would allow me to travel with it. I have some nieces I want to start sewing with to hopefully help them get the sewing bug. Janie
Margaret Gleig
Posted at 11:07h, 28 DecemberI raised my two daughters by sewing all their clothes on a Pfaff. I taught them how to sew on it too and they continue to sew now in their adult lives. Between the three of us we wore that machine out. I cannot any longer afford to buy a Pfaff and am making do with a $100 machine from Costco. I would feel I had died on gone to heaven if I won a new Pfaff!!
Jayne Miller
Posted at 11:07h, 28 DecemberI have never owned a pfaff machine. What joy it would be to have a smaller machine to take to classes, and not have to plug around a 20 lb older sewing machine. I would be thrilled to win this pfaff 2.0 machine
Debbie Rasmussen
Posted at 11:08h, 28 DecemberI would love to win this sewing machine, my husband and I retired and plan on travelling and this would be a perfect travelling companion.
Connie Murphy
Posted at 11:09h, 28 DecemberI would love a Pfaff for travel! Everyone raves about these sewing machines so I’d love to work on one!

Posted at 11:10h, 28 DecemberI would love a new Pfaff. My mother used to sew on a Pfaff and loved it. It is a great product.
Life of Janine
Posted at 11:10h, 28 DecemberCongrats on a busy and successful year, Sarah! I’m one of the Fasters who made it through the year and am so happy to have committed to this a year ago. As I write this, I’m stitching a label on an interlinked quilted vest – something I never would have made a year ago but now I’m so much more confident in my abilities. I would love to have a smaller, travel sized machine and that Pfaff looks FABulous (or should that be PFAFFulous? 😝). I’ll be attending a couple of retreats in 2019 plus hopefully a couple of classes. It would also be fun to take to events where my ASG chapter is encouraging new sewists. 🧵. Best wishes to you & yours in 2019!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:33h, 06 JanuaryThank you, Janine for your comment. I’m delighted you made it through the year 😉 I’ve loved getting to know the ASG chapters in the US and their efforts to reach new and young sexists!
Tamara Kemp
Posted at 11:12h, 28 DecemberOh… This light sewing machine would be a wonderful machine to tote along to sewing classes 🧵
Maribeth
Posted at 11:12h, 28 DecemberHow nice it would be to have a lighter Wright machine to take to classes! As I look forward to teaching my granddaughters to sew, it would be so nice to have a machine for them to use as we sew together.
Rhonda Preece
Posted at 11:13h, 28 DecemberI learnt to sew on a basic old Pfaff of my mother’s back in the 60s. Wow, have they come a long way since!
In all honesty, I already have a great machine & would love to give this to my needy sister; needy in sewing time and machine. As a hard working single Mom she would just LOVE it!
Yoshie Wong
Posted at 11:14h, 28 DecemberA light sewing machine that is a Pfaff. Yes please
Angie Hepner
Posted at 11:15h, 28 DecemberOh this Pfaff Passpirt would be wonderful for my new sewing room. We just moved/downsized on December 21. It would be perfect for the new space not to mention a great birthday gift (Dec 30)
cheri schwartz
Posted at 11:16h, 28 DecemberI just broke the needle threader on my old pfaff 1473..not fixable. I’ve sewn everything from the gown I wore to my daughter’s wedding to reupholstering my couch. this is the best machine ever…at least for my needs.
Kate Burke
Posted at 11:18h, 28 DecemberI have a 34 year old machine and now have two grandchildren. Used to make all my own clothes. Now I have two more for whom I can sew. Pfaff Is making fabulous machines.
Sue Bogue
Posted at 11:18h, 28 DecemberThis machine would allow me creativity on steroids! I’ve seen the wonderful garments on the RTW Fast page and would love the challenge of technology!
Kay Dole
Posted at 11:19h, 28 DecemberI would love a machine this size to take to sewing classes!!
Barb Scott
Posted at 11:20h, 28 DecemberIt would be great to have a new sewing machine — hear many good things about Pfaff. My electronic machine has reached 23 years old — if it ever goes, no chance of getting it repaired. I love the bells and whistles, and the small profile and light weight. I hope to win! Happy New Year! I am sure you will find new projects/adventures. BTW – is the facebook page for the ready to wear fasters open to new members? Thanks
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 14:35h, 06 JanuaryBarb,
The 2018 RTW Fasters page is not open to new members. I’ll let you know when I host another fast 😉
Mary Stein
Posted at 11:21h, 28 DecemberI have sewn to the moon and back on my present Pfaff and her electronics are feeling the wear and tear (like me…) She is my third Pfaff and can’t imagine being without one. I would love the Passport which would get me to another trip to the moon and back I’m sure. Thank you Sarah for standing as an inspiration to all who love to create through this art form.
Elise Williams
Posted at 11:22h, 28 DecemberA travel machine! Wow wouldn’t that be a big treat. I’d travel with it on my visits to my daughters’ houses.
Louise Fuite
Posted at 11:24h, 28 DecemberLove the Pfaff Passport 2. Such a beautiful, functional and lightweight machine to take to classes and to friends to sew or quilt projects. I would love it as a wonderful travelling tool and as a creative asset.
Salina Tsai
Posted at 11:24h, 28 DecemberI’ve been sewing a lot more for me and my whole and extended family and would love an upgrade. I’ve had the same sewing machine since I started.
wsnda j teegarden
Posted at 11:25h, 28 DecemberMost of my sewing these days,are away from the house. That means taking my large machine which is quite a chore. A smaller machine would be so much easier. I am so envious that you got to ho to Hawaii. It I on my on my bucket list.
Christine Kille
Posted at 11:26h, 28 DecemberI would love to add the Pfaff Passport 2.0 to my sewing machine arsenal for its small size & mighty features like the IDT system and the 70 built in 7 mm stitches!
Mollie Bobo
Posted at 11:27h, 28 DecemberI loved sewing on the Pfaff Performance big combo machine at Sewing Expo in Arlington. I would like to give this line a better test drive.
Denise Thompson
Posted at 11:28h, 28 DecemberI would like to own a Pfaff because I’ve never seen on one but I hear so many good things about them!
Nicole Golsteijn-Cnoops
Posted at 11:28h, 28 DecemberOh my gosh that would be great to win, but I live in the Netherlands and don’t know if I am allowed to join? My grandma was my real sewing inspiration, unfortunately she passed away long ago. But redecorating my sewing space and restyling it would be great if there came a Pfaff in since my grandma had one too. I still own that old machine from 1952….
love to read your blog.
Bernice Ramsey
Posted at 11:30h, 28 DecemberWe live full time in a motor home and the Passport would be a perfect size.
Carol Gwynette
Posted at 11:31h, 28 DecemberI would love a Pfaff Passport 2.0. I have plans to start quilting in 2019 and I would love this machine to be my partner to attend my quilting class with.
Jean
Posted at 11:33h, 28 DecemberOur sewing guild goes on a retreat twice a year, This would be so fun to take along.
Evelyn Sias
Posted at 11:33h, 28 DecemberFor the love of portable sewing anywhere on a machine packed with features! Would love it!
Louisa Halmi
Posted at 11:34h, 28 DecemberI’ve been missing your inspirational posts. I so wanted to be part of the 2018 fast but the timing just wasn’t good for me last year. I would love own an easily portable machine as my current one is very heavy.,so I tend to not take classes where I’d need to drag it along. Pfaff is very generous to have this giveaway with such a nice machine.
Looking forward to your new book and applaud all your hard work. May the New Year be filled with laughter, love and joy.
Jeanette Hamilton
Posted at 11:34h, 28 DecemberI plan on attending classes to learn more about sewing. I smaller machine would come in handy!
Julie Casson
Posted at 11:34h, 28 DecemberI would love to upgrade my sewing! A new machine would be the cat’s meow in my journey as a new sewist and my dream of a self sewn wardrobe!
Lucy N
Posted at 11:36h, 28 DecemberI would love a Passport to travel to classes as my Creative 4.5 nearly drags me down the stairs if I dare to move it! Thank you for the RTW fast this year and for all of your encouraging posts. Happy New Year!
Theresa LeFevre
Posted at 11:37h, 28 DecemberA new pfaff!!??? Yes, I brought my first sewing machine…a pfaff when I was 18 years old. ( not quite 50 years ago). The loan was $500 and I paid $25/ month. One of my proudest moments. Sadly, the machine retired a few years back. Would love to have another. Keeping my fingers crossed
Jean Pundiak
Posted at 11:38h, 28 DecemberI need a portable sewing machine to take on trips to visit my grandkids. The Pfaff looks like a perfect match.
Claire
Posted at 11:39h, 28 DecemberGreat to see your post, Sarah! I’m all ears for anything re: small space living. The Passport would be great to take on the Amtrak to Baltimore for my next couture camp!
Alicia Martin
Posted at 11:40h, 28 DecemberI would love to have the Passport 2.0 for my annual sewing weekend getaways and for traveling to sew with friends. Also, I just love pfaff!

Posted at 11:44h, 28 DecemberI’d be thrilled to have a Pfaff machine to step up my sewing game! It’s been great being a part of RTW Fast 2018 and can’t wait to see your new book and new blog posts
De Campbell
Posted at 11:44h, 28 DecemberThank you so much for the sewing inspiration you give so freely. A Passport would be ideal for me to carry to my local ASG meetings and when I meet with the ladies at church to sew “love gifts” for others. I wish you a Happy New Year!!!
Melissa LaPointe
Posted at 11:44h, 28 DecemberAs I near retiring from 34 years of teaching I plan to travel and would love a light weight machine to accompany me for my longer stays away from home. I do have two older and heavier PFAFF machines that I will never part with. A new lighter weight PFAFF would be a wonderful gift!
Chris Gibbons
Posted at 11:44h, 28 DecemberI would love the Pfaff Passport 2.0. Pfaff are wonderful machines and I have always wanted one. I sew, quilt, make dolls, totes, purses and more.
Barbara Whitfield
Posted at 11:45h, 28 DecemberYour posts are always a joy to read and I learn so much from them! Many thanks for sharing.
My present Pfaff would love a little sister so she could stay at home all the time.
Tonya Follett
Posted at 11:46h, 28 DecemberWhat a perfect little machine to travel with to classes and on vacation!! I would love it!!!
Shelby Smarte
Posted at 11:47h, 28 DecemberCongratulations on your new book and congrats to me, too. I finished the RTW fast and had so much fun challenging myself to use my stash and ,finally, tackle sewing a swimsuit. It was a great success and now I have completed another one. Looking forward to seeing you in Kentucky in 2019.
Yes, I would love to win the Passport 2. My 50 year old small machine has died, so a little helper to take to workshops would be great!
Have a sew happy New Year!

Posted at 11:47h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a pfaff passport 2.0! I have a Pfaff 7570 that I have been sewing on for well over 20 years. I love the quality of pfaff machines. How exciting for you! Another book! Congratulations!
Carol Howard
Posted at 11:48h, 28 DecemberWho wouldn’t want to win a machine? 😍 I have yet to own a Pfaff. This machine looks like a perfect size to take to classes/retreats or on vacation when you want to keep up on your projects!
Lin
Posted at 11:49h, 28 DecemberWould love to own a Pfaff passport to take to sewing classes as my old machine is very heavy .
Pamela Molgat
Posted at 11:50h, 28 DecemberI love Pfaff sewing machines. The Passport2 would be a great addition as it is so portable & still has the built in walking foot feature. I have many friends with this machine & they all love it. I would love one too!
Catherine Peck
Posted at 11:53h, 28 DecemberCongratulations on the new book. Can’t wait to see it. I’d love to win the Pfaff for my daughter. She’s learning to sew on an entry level Walmart special and this would really help expand her skills. Thanks for the give-away. Glad to seeing you on the blog again.
Debra Smith
Posted at 11:53h, 28 DecemberI have been a faithful Bernina owner…but a Phaff is on my bucket list…a built in walking foot…a dream come true.
Patty Price
Posted at 11:53h, 28 DecemberYour posts and workshops have inspired me so much!…..not only to get back to my creative self, but to lose weight so i can look good again in the adorable styles I used to wear and that ya’ll sew and model! Now in my early 60’s, I am doing needlepoint again (much more creative this time around), learning to make quilts, painting plates with mandala designs for my daughter and DIL, learning to paint canvases in acrylic paints, and sewing again on my mother’s treasured Singer from the 1960’s……adorable outfits for my two little granddaughters. It would be awesome to win the Phaff you are giving away so I could have a new reliable and lightweight machine to work with and travel with! Thanks for all the inspiration! Happy New Year!
Lynsey Reuber
Posted at 11:54h, 28 DecemberI’m lucky enough to own a Pfaff icon, but didn’t factor on how difficult it would be to take it to a class or to travel with! 😉 I have been staying away from classes, because I didn’t want to upset Irene Pfaff (my icon’s name), by moving her out of her home in my Studio. I was terrified something might happen to her while she was out. I have heard wonderful things about the Passport 2. The stitching is great, size perfect for taking to classes or to travel with. This would make a great playmate for Irene!
Pat Spurza
Posted at 11:55h, 28 DecemberWould love a new Passport 2 to take to sewing retreats. It sounds perfect for travel.
Vicki DeVito
Posted at 11:55h, 28 DecemberI have a very very old sewing machine because I am a very very old person! Now I have some young granddaughters that are showing interest and it would warm my heart to teach them on a decent and precise sewing machine. I am on a fixed income and they are not in a position to purchase either, so winning a sewing machine would be an amazing gift to our family. I have been sewing for 40+ years on my grandmother’s sewing machine, and I consider myself to be very creative as I sew all of my own clothing I respectfully request to be entered into this contest and thank you so very much for all of your inspiration and for Pfaff to sponsor this wonderful giveaway.
Henrietta Osei
Posted at 11:55h, 28 DecemberAs a beginner sewer with a fabric and pattern stash that rivals a seasoned sewer, owning a fancy new machine will accelerate my progress through my stash. 😀
Jennie Bowden
Posted at 11:55h, 28 DecemberI’d love an upgrade to start the new year!
Doris Rasi
Posted at 11:56h, 28 DecemberI would Love a smaller and more modern sewing machine! It would be easier to store in my house!!
Thank you for the giveaway!!!
Linda D Moon
Posted at 12:01h, 28 DecemberI would love to have the Pfaff Passport, because I was in the Camp Fire, and lost my home, my sewing machines, and my stash with all the fabrics for my Christmas presents. I am retired, staying with a friend, and would be so happy to start sewing again!
Virginia Kessen
Posted at 12:01h, 28 DecemberI’ve given up on classes because I dread lugging my machine. I’d love to do classes and just some sociable sewing again!
Barb Barna
Posted at 12:01h, 28 DecemberHow wonderful to start off the new year with a great travel machine. I would love to have a Passport to take to quilt retreats. Cheers to you and Pfaff for this!
Barb
Bernadine Kringel
Posted at 12:03h, 28 DecemberThis is such a timely opportunity. Last night my Janome just stopped running. I was so sad and haven’t tried to work on it yet today. It is quite old and maybe I just wore it out? Anyway, would be a perfect time for me to win this machine!!
Donna Depue
Posted at 12:03h, 28 DecemberI would love to have the Passport 2 to take to our cabin in the mountains! It would be a great replacement for my 30 year old machine!
Pam Harrison
Posted at 12:04h, 28 DecemberWhen my machine went in to the shop. My sewing friend was nice enough to lend me her Passport. What a great little work horse. I think this would make a great machine for all of the American sewing Guild Neighborhood Group meetings I have to teach.
Catherine Bowers
Posted at 12:04h, 28 DecemberI’d love to have a second machine to take to classes and retreats. Thank you for this opportunity. Love seeing your amazing creations!
Nohline L'Ecuyer
Posted at 12:05h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a Pfaff Passport so that I don’t have to Pfaff with my big machine! Happy New Year!
Susan Snyder
Posted at 12:05h, 28 DecemberI would love a portable sewing machine, or any sewing machine under 30 years old, for that matter. Portable makes “social sewing” – sewing in the same room with other people so much easier.
Susan Wolnik
Posted at 12:05h, 28 DecemberWould love a new machine for taking to the cottage to sew there! Wonderful opportunity – good luck to everyone who enters!
Susan
Katy Andersen
Posted at 12:06h, 28 DecemberI would love a machine with the built in walking foot! Today is my birthday & it would be a perfect gift!,,
MARY O HOWARD
Posted at 12:07h, 28 DecemberI would love to own the Pfaff Passport 2.0. I am looking forward to retiring during 2019 so I will be free to sew more. My current machine is a Necchi that I purchased when I was in college so I am looking forward to exploring the newer sewing technology 😉
Marjorie Devlin
Posted at 12:07h, 28 DecemberWho wouldn’t want a new sewing machine!
I have enjoyed following you through the years to see where your sewing journey has taken you…absolutely awesome!!
Helen Filipcic
Posted at 12:08h, 28 DecemberA new Pfaff sewiing machine? That would be lovely. I have one but it is basic and it would fabulous to own such a machine. It is very nice for Pfaff to offer the giveaway.

Posted at 12:10h, 28 DecemberI would love to win it. This will be my Christmas present from Santa to me. 🎅🏻🎄😊
Linda Fansler
Posted at 12:11h, 28 DecemberI’d love a new sewing machine! I sew on an older, vintage 1980 Singer sewing machine. An upgrade would be wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win the Pfaff Passport.
Joanne Bohdanowicz
Posted at 12:11h, 28 DecemberI have really enjoyed the RTW fast and look forward to your new book next year! Happy New Year!
Cynthia Cunningham
Posted at 12:13h, 28 DecemberWinning a Pfaff a passport 2 would be a dream come true. As an elementary school drama teacher, I lug my sewing machine around to sew in my classroom, my office, my drama room and anywhere else handy to work on costumes. The IDT system would be a game changer with its ability to sew different types of fabric. It also opens up teaching moments when students see me constructing something. They can see clothes just don’t grow on retail racks or magically appear on websites. With all the animal “onesies,” poodle skirts and period tunics I have on my plate, I would be very grateful to win. Thanks for the opportunity!
Martha Lewis
Posted at 12:13h, 28 DecemberThe Pfaff Passport would let me retire my 1970’s Elna and reach new levels in my sewing. Thank you for the inspiration over the year. 🙂
Ann Carbone
Posted at 12:14h, 28 DecemberOh my. My machine has been on its last legs. It got me throught the RTW fast and the Christmas gifts i needed to make. And i mean it stopped working almost to my last stitch.. some hand stitching was in order.
I have been researching machines and companies.. The IDT function on all pfaff machines is something I need .. truly need.
I can never hope to own the machine you have been blessed with with. The Passport is right in my wheelhouse. Will fit my space and allow me to take it to classes and on vacations.
This would truly be a blessing.
Diane Gozur Stanley
Posted at 12:16h, 28 DecemberI would love to win this Pfaff sewing machine. I travel a lot to sewing retreats so this would be the perfect traveling companion for me
Rebecca
Posted at 12:17h, 28 DecemberOh, I’ve always wanted to have a Pfaff sewing machine. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. You are always so generous to your readers. Congratulations on a stellar year – can’t wait to see what you get up to in 2019!
KATHRYN A LEE
Posted at 12:19h, 28 DecemberHaving heard all the wonderful comments about Pfaff- I would love an opportunity to have one.
Karen Schindler
Posted at 12:22h, 28 DecemberI would like to give this sewing machine to my mother.
Jacqueline Harris
Posted at 12:22h, 28 DecemberI love the compact quality of this machine, not to mention it’s sleek and modern look!
Happy New Year Sarah!
Karen Taylor
Posted at 12:25h, 28 DecemberCongratulations on the new book. Hope to see more of you online in 2019. Passport by Pfaff, yes please! I have a bigger Pfaff but it’s just too heavy to tote around to sewing classes. Fingers crossed!,
Wanda Scott-Ferron
Posted at 12:28h, 28 DecemberThis PFAFF sewing machine would be the best way to start 2019!
Happy New Year
Karen Combs
Posted at 12:28h, 28 DecemberI would use a travel machine to take to destination classes! I handed down my old machine to my daughter and want to ask for it back! I didn’t realize how much I would miss one- and this Pfaff has more features – bonus!
Margaret Novy
Posted at 12:31h, 28 DecemberThanks for having a giveaway! I would like to own a Pfaff Passport because it’s easy to take with me when I travel, and I can continue sewing while away from my home!
Happy New Year!
Belinda Pond
Posted at 12:31h, 28 DecemberI have recently moved to a mountain community with lots of sewist retirees. There are frequent sewing events where a lightweight machine would be a dream. Besides, my current sewing machine was purchased in 1977 when I was a clothing merchandising major in college. I could use an upgrade! Thanks for sponsoring this giveaway!
Stella Robertshaw
Posted at 12:31h, 28 DecemberHow wonderful to be offered the opportunity to enter this competition to hopefully own a Passport Pfaff machine. It would mean that I would be able to travel with this from across the pond to sew in our cabin in the woods in Georgia. I would be able to take Pfaffy as hand luggage on the plane. It’s a beautiful peaceful wood-but no internet or television means it would be paradise to create and sew there. Thanks so much!
Dee
Posted at 12:31h, 28 DecemberI would love to win a new sewing machine to replace my 35 year old Viking 990. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2019, Sarah.
Lindsay Tiemer
Posted at 12:32h, 28 DecemberI would love to win a new Pfaff Passport 2 so that I can (finally!) re-find my sewing mojo!!
Maggie Miller
Posted at 12:34h, 28 DecemberPfaff is my sewing machine brand of choice – starting with my Grandma’s “made in West Germany” machine & table from the 60s! I would LOVE a second machine for making jeans, so that I can thread one with regular and one with topstitching thread. Hopefully it means I could crank out jeans and other pants much faster – very important since I need a 36-37″ inseam and really can’t buy in stores! 🙂
Diane Bell
Posted at 12:35h, 28 DecemberPrestigious functionality and fantastic freedom! “Have Sewing Machine Will Travel!!” But its got to be the Pfaff Passport 2.0 so I can explore all those avenues previously out of reach!!!
Caroline Emmons
Posted at 12:35h, 28 DecemberI would like to be able to sew all o the things that you do. They are lovely and they have your personality in them.
Brenda G. Morrill
Posted at 12:37h, 28 DecemberThe Pfaff Passport 2 would be a perfect machine for me because I have every reason to sew now that I have a 3-month-old adorable granddaughter — but with very limited space to sew. I would make room in my dining room to sew, as well as easily take the Passport 2 to my son’s house to sew in his family room.
Goodbye Valentino: Love your posts, and especially the one’s featuring your granddaughter!
Patricia P. Hall
Posted at 12:38h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a Pfaff machine because of their reputation for being fabulous sewing machines! I am sure the Passport 2 has features for today that carry on the tradition. I teach sewing classes at my church and folks bring their own machines. Classmates who bring Pfaff machines absolutely love them. I want to experience that feeling!
Ann Scraggs
Posted at 12:40h, 28 DecemberHaving a machine light enough to travel with would be great, having that machine me a Pfaff would be pure heaven!
Paceda Petrone
Posted at 12:41h, 28 DecemberI would love to have the Pfaff Passport 2.0! The Pfaff built-in “walking foot” is amazing! It would be so very nice to have such a fabulous machine to take to sewing retreats and charity sews. One thing I know—whoever wins this machine will absolutely love it!
Verna Groger
Posted at 12:42h, 28 DecemberIt’s compact size and integrated walking foot make it ideal for all kinds of sewing and especially perfect for lingerie!
carol sloan
Posted at 12:43h, 28 DecemberSounds like you have had one busy holiday season! I love the Passport2 machine! With a shoulder that is ready for surgery, that lightweight machine would come in very handy for me. I also like to travel with my machine so this would make a huge difference in what I could take with me…and I wouldn’t have to depend on my husband to lift it for me! A win-win situation.
Catherine Stone
Posted at 12:45h, 28 DecemberI’d love to win this Pfaff machine! I sew on a 30 year old Pfaff and would love to upgrade to a new one.
Cynthia L. Tully
Posted at 12:46h, 28 DecemberA new sewing machine would nice. My current machine is 35 years old. She’s getting tired
Lori Tushner
Posted at 12:47h, 28 DecemberI’ve always heard good things about Pfaff, but I’ve sewn on a Bernina 1230 for the last 26 years. Unfortunately, I can’t get my best friend to turn on right now 😫, and I recently had to do some sewing on a very old mechanical Necchi that I bought at an estate sale. Maybe it’s time to try something new? A free machine would fit the bill perfectly! 🙂
Becky Smith
Posted at 12:50h, 28 DecemberIn need of a retreat and sewing class machine that I can lift. Sounds great.
Danica Rios
Posted at 12:50h, 28 DecemberHappy Holidays! I’d love to win this Pfaff machine in order to continue sewing for myself, friends and family and start my new blog. I’ve always been passionate about sewing ready to wear clothing and I truly believe all of the features of this machine will propel me forward.
I hope you have a wonderful New Year! 🙂
Elizabeth Park
Posted at 12:51h, 28 DecemberP erfect for small spaces and traveling to places
A bsolutely even fabric feed – IDT – from bottom and top
S peed Slider for smooth speed control, but who wants to stop?
S eventy stitches up to 7 mm wide, I love this feature!
P resser feet that snap on and snap off, what could be sweeter?
O ne-step buttonholes – my dream come true
R eally bright LED lights for sewing till dawn – there are two!
T o Pfaff, my heart races, thinking of all I could do with your new sewing machine, the Passport 2.0!
LRKimo
Posted at 12:54h, 28 DecemberSewing is my second love and my 40 year old beat up Kenmore could use some help!
Tamara Oster
Posted at 12:56h, 28 DecemberI have the Pfaff Creative Sensation Pro and love it to pieces! As much as I love my big Pfaff, she is not a good traveling companion. She is large and heavy and has to stay home when I travel. This sweet little Passport would be the ticket to having a faithful companion for retreats and travel. You have had an amazing year and have inspired me to push beyond my comfort zone. I am still buying Army uniforms, but this season is coming to a close quickly (much to my sadness, I love being a Soldier) and need to own real garments for G-d’s new plans for me. G-d bless and happy new year!
Graca Resendes
Posted at 12:57h, 28 DecemberFirst, thank you for hosting the give-away. I would love to be counted as one interested in winning the Pfaff, I’ve read so many wonderful attributes about sewing on a Pfaff and the idea of a lightweight machine that one can move around with easily sound divine.
Lisa Algiere
Posted at 12:59h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff Passport 2.0. I live in Florida and my mother lives in Alabama. We love to travel for sewing weekends. This machine would be perfect.
Diane Sharp
Posted at 13:00h, 28 DecemberWhat an awesome giveaway. I would love to own this machine. It’s features sound great for all round sewing.
Christie Paulsen
Posted at 13:04h, 28 DecemberI have been doing all the sewing in my family so far . It is time to pass along the skill. i can see my daughters bringing their projects over for a “crafternoon”. A second machine would keep us working along smoothly and an easily portable one could travel back and forth between our sewing jams. Thanks for the opportunity to make my dream come true!
Barbara Gerovac
Posted at 13:10h, 28 DecemberOh, my! An easily portable machine would be a dream.
My sisters and I meet monthly to sew., and I swear my machine gets heavier every time I pack it up!
Congratulations on your second book!
Amy
Posted at 13:12h, 28 DecemberSoooo many ancestors on both sides of my family were tailors and fashion designers. My immediate family continue this tradition bar myself. 2019 – my goal is to join the family tradition of tailoring and couture and take my sewing from non-existent to hell yeah! 😄
LuLu Thomas
Posted at 13:13h, 28 DecemberHello! I would especially enjoy the Pfaff Passport 2.0, because I have been diagnosed with heart disease. Because of that, I have an extreamly hard time lifting my machine to take to a sewing classs. With a light weight machine, I could go and not worry if I will be out of breath trying to lift and carry my machine into the class.
Susan Martin
Posted at 13:14h, 28 DecemberThe many reasons, I’d like to win the Pfaff Passport 2 are
1- the strong Pfaff reputation for quality machines
2- I have limited space in my 2-bedroom apartment and this machine is the perfect size
3- portability to take it on short trips and to sewing classes
4- the features
5- it would put a big smile on my face !!!!!!
Rose Marie
Posted at 13:22h, 28 DecemberMy friend has a Pfaff and is crazy about the IDT system. She says it is the best. I would like a machine for sewing garments where I know the seams will match up as I pin them.
And if I don’t enter, I have NO chance of winning.
Carol Smith
Posted at 13:26h, 28 DecemberSo happy to read a new post today – I’ve been wondering what you’vebeen up to!
Thank you for a chance to win a travel-sized Pfaff! We live in the middle of the US, and travel via our self-converted cargo van to the West Coast several times a year to see our only grandchildren – 3 granddaughters who love Grandma’s sewn outfits!
Looking forward to seeing on the go and teaching these future sewists to sew for themselves. This fantastic Pfaff machine would sure make that possible. Thanks!
Elizabeth Lee
Posted at 13:27h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a Pfaff machine- that are the best!!
Michele Silberhorn
Posted at 13:30h, 28 DecemberIt looks like a great easy to use sewing machine. That Pin Stitch would be great for machine applique. I would love to own it. Thank you to you and Pfaff for the opportunity.
Grace Cooley
Posted at 13:33h, 28 DecemberI would LOVE to have a new Pfaff. Mine is from 1989. And I love it, but an update would be wonderful. 🙂
Barbara Wanthal
Posted at 13:33h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff Passport 2 as I need a lightweight machine I can sew clothing on for my weekly sewing days with friends! I love the Pfaff my Mom has but it is a heavy beast. Fingers crossed!
Cheryl Lqnfear
Posted at 13:34h, 28 DecemberI have just downsized from over 3000squarefeetto 1249’
So of, course, would love a smaller machine. I have always heard about the quality of Pfaff, but have never owned own.
Jennifer Grendus
Posted at 13:35h, 28 DecemberWow! I would love a new Praff Passport 2.0. The many functions and ease of transport would be so helpful for my own apartment sewing space and for teaching new sewers. Thank you for the giveaway.
Roberta Mehta
Posted at 13:38h, 28 DecemberPfaff is the only machine I’ll sew on because I love the built in walking foot. My current machine is my 4th Pfaff. I would love to have the Pin Stitch as a second machine to use while my other machine is being serviced as well as a “traveler” tp take with me when I visit my daughter.
Teresa Wade
Posted at 13:41h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a small, portable sewing machine to take places. Plus I have always wanted to own a Pfaff!
Genya
Posted at 13:42h, 28 DecemberI loved your shirt! White staple for every lufe event!
I currently sewing with a vintage chineese machine resembling the singer. With only straight stitch, I love my machine but a new age one whould definitely up me sewing game!!!
Kleintjie
Posted at 13:43h, 28 DecemberWow! Wow! Wow! She’s back!!! I don’t think you realize how you’ve been missed – welcome back to you and welcome baby Billy. You seem to have been very busy with the book and I am glad for you and Julie that it has now been handed over. Congratulations! Thanks for the surprise giveaway. I think whoever wins this wonderful Pfaff is going to be ecstatic. Although I would dearly love to win this beauty, I am not eligible as I live in South Africa.
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed 2019 and also that we would see a lot of blogging in the coming year.

Betsy Weiler

Sarah Harrison
Posted at 13:57h, 28 DecemberI’m a traveller, and having the Pfaff passport 2.0 would mean that I no longer have to lug around my big and heavy machine on all my journeys. This would be a wonder dream and addition to my sewing journey. Happy New Years and thanks for everything!

terrie w
Posted at 14:04h, 28 DecemberI would love to have an easy to carry Pfaff to bring upstairs from my sewing room to my kitchen to work with my sewing friends when they come over for group quilting or sewing projects. I think it would also be helpful for sewing while
“watching” football or action thrillers!
Patricia Brown
Posted at 14:05h, 28 DecemberI am looking for a sewing machine upgrade. I would love to own a Pfaff machine!
Elizabeth Hunt
Posted at 14:05h, 28 DecemberI would love a new Pfaff Passport, my machine is not making good buttonholes and is too heavy to take on the road with me. Looking forward to your second book.

Marolyn Sayre-Smith
Posted at 14:13h, 28 DecemberI have been sewing since I was 12 years old. During the last several years, I have greatly improved my skills by reading sewing magazines and watching videos, especially the classes on Craftsy. I read and loved the articles and pictures by Julie Starr and followed her on Craftsy. My favorite garments to make are tailored coats and jackets with silk lining. I have a 15 year old granddaughter who wants to learn to sew and wants her own sewing machine that is small that she can carry herself and can set it up on the house on a desk or table. Would be forever grateful to have this wonderful Pfaff machine. Many thanks to you and to Pfaff.
Robyn Turner
Posted at 14:14h, 28 DecemberI have sewn for 50 years and my dream has always been to own a Pfaff machine
of any model. It would certainly make my jackets (Chanel) go faster. Although I
love the hand sewing, nothing beats having a good sewing machine to rely on.
I go to classes outside of my state and having this light weight machine would be
a dream come true.
Wishing you and your family a happy New Year filled with good health, peace
and joy.
Amy Mayer
Posted at 14:15h, 28 DecemberOh my gosh!- this Pfaff machine would be perfect to take to our beach house when we go through the year- I could get so much more accomplished continuously instead of trying to haul my heavy older machine! My heart is racing – haha
Can’t wait to see the new book- congratulations on that!
Karen Easterbrook
Posted at 14:18h, 28 DecemberI would love to give this machine to my daughter to keep the sewing vibe strong through future generations.
Aileen Scott
Posted at 14:19h, 28 DecemberTravel-sew-travel-sew-travel-sew…how great would it be to combine my two passions a little easier!! Happy New Year to you and congratulations on all your accomplishments!!
Marly Kurtzer
Posted at 14:31h, 28 DecemberHi – Loved your pictures from the Hawaii trip, particularly that lilac print dress. A Pfaff passport would be perfect for my tiny NYC apartment. Happy New Year to everyone!
Dolores Stegeman
Posted at 14:33h, 28 DecemberI would keep the Passport 2.0 in my car, taking it and sewing everywhere I go!
Cat Utschig
Posted at 14:37h, 28 DecemberI’d love to finally have a truly portable machine! My vintage Kenmore, at close to 60 pounds, is too heavy to lug around. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
Cathy Quibell
Posted at 14:40h, 28 DecemberOh my goodness!!! What an amazing prize. Imagine the joy this will bring. I could share it with my daughters. Happy 2019 to everyone and may the lucky winner have many hours of joyful sewing xxxx
barbara morphew
Posted at 14:48h, 28 DecemberA perfect machine to take to grandchildren’s every other week. They love helping Gmail sew😀
Millie Payne
Posted at 14:48h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a new, lightweight sewing machine. I am 82 years old, still love to sew and go to retreats, but it is impossible to tote my old Viking machine along. I would like to update my skills with the new technology and continue to make all my clothes. I hope to read more blogs from you this year, and I await your new book. Thanks for all you do to keep the sewing skills up to par.

Posted at 14:54h, 28 DecemberWhat a wonderful gift from you and Pfaff…. another machine would be wonderful, but I may be tempted to gift to my daughter who is looking to replace her grandmothers 45 year old Viking
Barb Keero
Posted at 14:54h, 28 DecemberI just realized that my sewing machine is 49 years old. My Mom bought it for me before I want to the Fashion Institute of Technology for Fashion Design. Does that mean my machine is an antique or I am?? lol Think it is time for a new Pfaff sewing machine, for sure!

Posted at 14:59h, 28 DecemberSarah,
I left San Diego and moved to New Orleans to be with family. Let me know if you and Julie come this way.
Where can I catch a Tunic workshop? Also, can you recommend any sewing retreats, camps,, etc.
I hope y’all are well!

Posted at 15:03h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a machine with all of those stitches!
Marguerite Benko
Posted at 15:07h, 28 DecemberI’ve always dreamed of owning a Pfaff machine! It would fit perfectly in my sewing area and be so handy to have for ASG community sews.
Have enjoyed being part of this Fasting Community. Sew inspiring!
Happy New Year!
Linda Ferris
Posted at 15:07h, 28 DecemberI have 6 different machines (none of them a Pfaff) but they all weigh a ton each. I would love a machine I could carry to group sewing sessions and classes.
Donna Evers
Posted at 15:10h, 28 DecemberMy Pfaff 7550 just died after a very long and productive life. and this very senior old lady would love a lightweight Pfaff Passport.
Sissy Simmons
Posted at 15:14h, 28 DecemberI just moved and have a new sewing room!
The Pfaff Passport 2 would be the perfect finishing touch!
Linda Noll
Posted at 15:14h, 28 DecemberI actually would love to gift it to a youngster that comes to sew with me! It would be perfect for her to go back and forth with!!
Cheryl Sautter-Konyn
Posted at 15:16h, 28 DecemberWould love to have the machine to help our extended family learn more about sewing!
Cheryl Kinnear
Posted at 15:21h, 28 DecemberWho wouldn’t want a brand new sewing machine? What a way to start the new year! I’m intrigued by the IDT system,and I might actually attend some sewing classes if I had a portable sewing machine. Thanks for the opportunity to win such an exciting prize.
Pamela Hall
Posted at 15:22h, 28 DecemberThanks to your blog, I was encouraged to return to sewing my own clothes after a 20 year hiatus of raising a family and having a career. I have rediscovered the joy of having quality clothes that fit again without paying a fortune for ready to wear that will either be out of style or need replacing in a year or two. I would appreciate having a portable machine that could travel with me to the beach and would love to have a Pfaff because of all the great things I have heard about their machines.
Connie Outlaw
Posted at 15:24h, 28 DecemberI currently sew with a Baby Lock. Nice machine, but my aunt used a Pfaff during her sewing career.
She taught sewing in the high school and made wedding gowns for the public.. As a pre-teen learning to sew on my mother’s 1960’s Singer, I was awe struck with her Pfaff.
My aunt suggested I learn to sew by using a Vogue Pattern. I thought she was so cosmopolitan. I learned how to “rip out” my mistakes and now sew very well.
I would love to own the Pfaff.
Becky Yarborough
Posted at 15:25h, 28 DecemberI would love to have the Pfaff Passport 2.0 to carry with me to classes and when I go to visit my daughter and sew for her children.
Suzanne McDonald
Posted at 15:25h, 28 DecemberWho wouldn’t want a Pfaff? I’ve been using a travel machine (Janome TB12) for 15 years. It’s been a great sewing machine except in two areas – it doesn’t like thicknesses, and it makes horrible buttonholes. I’ve been searching for a new machine, and this works! Thanks for the opportunity.
Karen
Posted at 15:26h, 28 DecemberI would love a new Pfaff machine. My current sewing machine is 30+ years old and I would like to pass my old one down to my daughter in law who is learning to sew. A new machine would reinvigorated my love of seeing.
Donna Robinson
Posted at 15:26h, 28 DecemberI liove my Pfaff and it would be great to have a a second machine when working on multiple projects. They are the best machines. Mine is 30 years old and continues to sew perfectly!
Therese Ruff
Posted at 15:34h, 28 DecemberI would love a machine to travel with me! The passport would be a dream to own.
Martha Neely
Posted at 15:36h, 28 DecemberI’d love to win this machine! I teach sewing to a group of children in their home. It looks like the perfect travel machine!
Christine Fromont
Posted at 15:37h, 28 DecemberI would love to enter for the Pfaff Passport 2 machine as I would find it so much easier to take to classes, workshops, and our monthly sewing meeting than carrying my heavy Pfaff Creative 1475 CD. I love Pfaff and use it every day in many ways and constantly tell people what a pleasure it is to use.
Thank you
Janene Reuer
Posted at 15:38h, 28 DecemberLike everyone else, I think winning a new Pfaff would be a wonderful thing! This year, though, I would like to win it for my dear friend, Kim. Kim has sewn clothes, wedding dresses, quilts, costumes,etc. on her Pfaff that was recently destroyed, along with their house and all that they owned, in the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA. Just thought it might be a little encouragement as they try to put their life back together. Thanks for all you do!
Linda LaMona
Posted at 15:38h, 28 DecemberFirst congratulations to you and Star completing your second book! Look forward to seeing it.
Thank you for hosting the 2018 RTW Fast, it was challenging for me not to purchase any garments. I didn’t sew as much as I would have liked this year but have big plans for 2019.
I have always been interested in Pfaff machines. I have a Viking machine that is about 10 years old. I don’t have a backup machine if something happens to this one and to have a Pfaff Passport 2 would be fantastic. I am also retired now and watching my pennies so a gifted machine would be so appreciated.
Winning this would be a great way to start the new year! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Amy Knopsnider
Posted at 15:39h, 28 DecemberI would love a new Pfaff! We are getting our first grandbaby and I have many projects to make. I am so looking forward to the new book! I have plans for “just one more” tunic this winter, lol.
Yolanda Fastle
Posted at 15:40h, 28 DecemberNew sewing machine?!? That would be great. I did not get to post much due to my and family members health. So, now to move forward in the next year will be a fabric fast. A stash buster fast! I have so much to sew! Looking forward to having time for this new goal! Love the Goodbye Valentino posts, keep up the awesome sewing! Thank you!
Dianne Assheton
Posted at 15:47h, 28 DecemberMy old friends Pfaff has gone to heaven where all good Pfaff’s go and she has not been able to afford a new one. Would love to win this for her as she has stopped making her own clothes which she loved doing.
Judy Haley
Posted at 15:50h, 28 DecemberThank you for offering this give away. I would love to have the new Pfaff machine. I am currently sewing on a machine that my mother bought in the early 80’s. It is a great machine, but there have been so many improvements since its purchase. I love the number of stitch options shown on the Pfaff Passport 2. It’s time that I had a machine that can keep up with newer trends.
cindy coven
Posted at 15:58h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff because they are the top of the line in sewing. Their seams are perfect. And they practically sew on their own. Why would I love to win the machine? I live in a Rv trailer. My husband and I live on social security so I could never buy one. I love to make clothes and it is the perfect machine for clothes and quilts. I have rheumatoid arthritis and I can’t lift heavy machines. I have to wait for my husband to get home. This looks like a feather weight so I bet I could lift it. Either way I love your blog, but wish you had a Youtube channel. Thank you and your littlest model is darling!
Andi B
Posted at 16:00h, 28 DecemberI would love to be considered for the Passport 2! I have a 7550 that I love,and I would love the new machine for my young adult children as they are learning to sew! Have a happy new Year!
Annquiette Reagan Marshall
Posted at 16:02h, 28 DecemberAs usual you looked effortlessly chic. Oh how I would love that machine. I have always wanted a Pfaff with all the bells and whistles attached. If she were mine she would get to live in the beautiful sunny Bahamas with me, sewing tunics and sundresses all day long. Now who wouldn’t love that!.
Marianne Johansson
Posted at 16:05h, 28 DecemberI would be so happy to win a Passport 2, I would give it to my daughter in law 🥰 I think she would like to learn to sew her own clothes ! And to their son 😍
Tina Dyer
Posted at 16:06h, 28 DecemberThe year always seems to end on a sprint…looking forward to your second book. The Passport would be lovely to have; more features than my Riccar in a smaller footprint. We live in a midcentury modest house, which is busting at the seams, so I have to eake out a sewing space in the corner of the kitchen. I often don’t take advantage of free time to sew because of the faff involved in pulling stuff out and putting it back.
Titi Ogundiya
Posted at 16:06h, 28 DecemberI visit Mt son in Chicago often and would love to win this compact sewing machine. Thanks
Jamie Bartalamay
Posted at 16:07h, 28 DecemberOMG! I spend a lot of time with my grandmother, sewing, and it would be wonderful to have a sewing machine I could easily travel with. Thank you!
Marnie Keith
Posted at 16:07h, 28 DecemberI would so enjoy taking this machine to my monthly sewing meetings! Bringing the Passport 2 to these meetings would mean more sewing and fewer UFO’s for me. This lighter, more mobile machine would also be so easy to take to weekend sewing retreats!
Karen Mulkey
Posted at 16:11h, 28 DecemberI’ve been sewing on Pfaff machines sine 1985 and would love to add another one!
Wendy Walker
Posted at 16:16h, 28 DecemberI would love to win this Pfaff Passport 2 machine.
My intention is to set up a not for profit sewing school for young students and would love to try this a machine to purchase for students.
Thanks for the opportunity

Patricia Pfeiffer
Posted at 16:16h, 28 DecemberI have owned and loved Pfaff’s for years, and my present machine is a real wonder, but so heavy. I would love to have a portable Pfaff to take along to the many places I could do sewing for others, and teach others the joy of sewing.
Anna
Posted at 16:27h, 28 DecemberGoodness, what a lot of reasons to win the Pfaff. Mine is simple, I would like it for my daughter-in-laws 30th birthday, who made me a snack bag for Christmas. The bag will be treasured for ever, just like she is and the machine will enable me to nurture a shared interest. Thank you 🙏
Stephanie R Troemel
Posted at 16:30h, 28 DecemberI’ve always wanted to try a Pfaff! I’ve heard such great things.
Cynthia Flagg
Posted at 16:35h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a Pfaff! I’ve always wanted one. My current machine (which I love) is heavy and the Pfaff 2.0 would be a welcome addition to my sewing room.
Barbara Kane
Posted at 16:37h, 28 DecemberMy husband works on an island where I visit. I would probably go more often if I had a lightweight machine I could take with me. A Pfaff Passport 2 to pack with my travelling passport.
Kay Chadwick
Posted at 16:43h, 28 DecemberWould love to own Pfaff! Have been interested since Nancy Zimmon used on her tv shows years ago.
Janice McCombs
Posted at 16:44h, 28 DecemberI would love to win a Piaff! My 30 year Bernina is on its last legs.
J Olsen
Posted at 16:45h, 28 DecemberI’d love to be entered in the giveaway for the alfalfa passport 2.0. I like to see heirloom clothing for my grandchildren. Thanks!
Gayle
Posted at 16:47h, 28 DecemberI would love to own this machine to take to our church sewing circle. The small size and light weight would make this perfect for this use.
Linda C Anderson
Posted at 16:54h, 28 DecemberI would like the small Pfaff so I can easily take it to sewing workshops. I have never had a Pfaff but have heard many positive things from Pfaff owners.
Janice Poda
Posted at 16:55h, 28 DecemberWas so glaD to see your post this morning! I’ve been to your website multiple times to make sure I hadn’t missed a posting. I look Forward to being inspired again by the outfits you make and using the Pfaff Passport 2 to put the inspiration into practice. My grandchildren are fascinated by my sewing and my granddaughter has already asked for a sewing machine for next Christmas. I can’t wait to learn more about your new book and to start the new year with new projects. Thank you for keeping my hobby interesting.
Beth Morris
Posted at 16:57h, 28 DecemberAfter the rave reviews of your Pfaff creative icon, this must be a grear little machine. I have been renting a basic older machine from the ASG for workshops for years. Knowing there is an portable machine that has dual feed and 70 stitches is a sewer’s dream
Guenther Sally
Posted at 16:58h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a lite weight machine to take to classes. This looks like it has everything I would ever want.
Sally B Elliott
Posted at 17:01h, 28 DecemberI would love to sew on a Pfaff!! I sew a lot and it would be wonderful to have a machine that I can take with me on my trips to South Carolina to visit my children. They always seem to have something that needs attention in their wardrobe. Thank you.
Gerhild Turner
Posted at 17:01h, 28 DecemberI would love to be able to take a smaller sewing machine to the classes that I teach. My current one is a 20+ year old Pfaff – and very heavy.
Ruth Ann Edwards
Posted at 17:05h, 28 DecemberAs I head toward retirement I would love to have this machine to take on sewing retreats. And when we decide to rent a cabin in the mountains for a couple of weeks, this would be a great take along. This machine would be great addition to my sewing room.
I could just go on and on about the multiple places it would get used.
Viviane MATHIEU
Posted at 17:06h, 28 DecemberI’m sure that the Pfaff Passeport would be very happy to live in Paris ! Yes, i’m french ,,,!
sandra thwaites
Posted at 17:08h, 28 DecemberNext year is the year my sister and I plan to meet up at a sewing retreat, and having a machine that’s portable would be ideal! And a Pfaff with IDT, would be beyond ideal!
Dawn Jacob
Posted at 17:13h, 28 DecemberI’ve just started splitting my time between my home in CA and a little apartment in CO. I would love to have a sewing machine in each location!
Gail Cunningham
Posted at 17:14h, 28 DecemberSo good to see you back! Your grandbaby is beautiful!
Thank you for this giveaway, how exciting for the winner, whom I hope will be me!!!
I would cherish owning this Pfaff machine, as I am planning on attending several sewing retreats in 2019 hosted by my local guild, and this Pfaff would be perfect for transporting, not too heavy for this sewist/quilter!
Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
Kitty Staskelunas
Posted at 17:15h, 28 DecemberA Pfaff Passport 2.0!!! Wow! My Viking Husqvarna has been a real workhorse but after 25 yrs a new machine with all the bells and whistles would be a great way to start the new year. I can only imagine all the possibles! Looking forward to your new book!
Rebecca
Posted at 17:16h, 28 DecemberI could lift the Pfaff Passport 2 to take to classes and quilt with friends at local activities and easily sew breast prosthesis forms for the breast cancer patients when our local ASG group gets together to stitch. What a treat it would be to have and
what a treat it is to see all that you have sewn on Goodbye Valentino with your Creative icon.
Have a super 2019 and best wishes on your new Grand.
Rebecca
Sabine Bolzner
Posted at 17:17h, 28 DecemberWhy do I want a PFAFF Passport 2.0 ?
I hear that this is the most wonderful machine to tote along to classes. It has everything that one needs – IDT, needle up and down and ease of use. This machine will be perfect for me to take to my bra making classes as well as the many quilting classes and retreats that I attend.
S. Bolzner

Posted at 17:24h, 28 DecemberI like that it is portable and small.
Allison Evans
Posted at 17:25h, 28 DecemberI currently sew on a Pfaff Quilt Expression machine but would love a more portable version! I love the IDT!
Katherine Olde
Posted at 17:28h, 28 DecemberHow wonderful it would be to win a new Pfaff. My 7570 recently died after a long and productive life. The repairman said he was looking for a new circuit board. After 6 weeks, he asked if I would like to donate it to him as he couldn’t locate one. I would like to know how long it would take him to find a circuit board if I DID give it to him. Not very long, I imagine! I thanked him and brought my broken baby home. Makes a good door stop!

Elizabeth Colquitt
Posted at 17:28h, 28 DecemberI purchased a used PHAFF machine when my daughter was born 31 years ago. It has recently gone to its place in sewing heaven. That same daughter is now expecting her first baby and my first grandchild. I would love to be able to sew some of the same sweet smoked dresses for her. What am amazing give away! Thanks for the chance to win.
Mary Anne
Posted at 17:32h, 28 DecemberAt the moment I am sewing on my 20+ year old Brother machine which has served me well, but I have always been tempted by the built in walking foot exclusive to Pfaff…. How wonderful and sew useful.
Jamie Bolzner
Posted at 17:32h, 28 DecemberWhat a Nice Looking machine.
I’ve got an older machine that I purchased at Walmart and was never able to get it to work correctly.
I want to start sewing again and this looks like the ticket.
How much is this machine worth?
Happy New Year.
Michelle Hopkinson
Posted at 17:36h, 28 DecemberA year of RTW fast has highlighted the need to retire my 40 year old straight stitch machine so. A Pfaff Passport 2 would be just the thing. Please and thank you!
Happy New Year everyone happy seeing in 2019
Eliz. Molleur
Posted at 17:36h, 28 DecemberGlad to see you posting again. I would love this machine
Nancy Teigen
Posted at 17:36h, 28 DecemberI would love to win the PFAFF Passport 2.0! my current machine is giving me fits and I’ve always been intrigued with the walking foot features on PFAFFs.
carole savage
Posted at 17:39h, 28 DecemberPassport 2 – I just love Pfaff machines, This would become a sister to my 2056 Pfaff, which enjoy working with and I am thankful of having as a sewing machine. Love the IDT on the Pfaff.
Your readywear has been an inspiration even if I did not join. It really made me think twice when looking at purchasing a clothing item. Is it really needed? could I make it myself? Do I have time to make it?
Karen Cox
Posted at 17:41h, 28 DecemberWow, a Pfaff Passport!!! This is such a great machine to win!! It would travel with me to classes in & out of state, over to my mil to sew items especially quilts, and then be snatched by my dd to travel to college for her needs. This machine is perfect to use at home with dd as we make sewn gifts for those in need such as blankets for chuldren & adults. Oh the things the Passport could do & people it can help! Thank you for this opportunity!
Alex
Posted at 17:45h, 28 DecemberSuch a great little machine! Pfaff is a fantastic choice because of the IDT system, still unique in the sewing machine works!
Thank you for hosting a fab year of RTW fasting!
Gail Kelley
Posted at 17:45h, 28 DecemberI just retired and have started a new adventure, a sewing school. We are not open yet; working hard on getting open by February. I would love to have a Pfaff machine to show students and allow them to use while learning to sew. I have been teaching sewing and fitting part-time for the last year and almost every person winds up buying a new machine. They are using a hand-me-down, but once they get started sewing, they are hooked and know they need a new machine.
Thanks…..
Margaret Sampson
Posted at 17:47h, 28 DecemberWould love to have a sewing machine that is my traveling companion.
Fern DeGois
Posted at 17:49h, 28 DecemberI have owned a Pfaff industrial sewing machine for many years and love it but no zigzag stitch.
This machine would be lovely to win.
Ruthann
Posted at 17:49h, 28 DecemberI so enjoyed getting your post today. Looking forward to your new book. Thank you and Pfaff for the passport give away.
Having the Pfaff Passport would bring many happy hours of sewing. Happy New Year.
Ana Sullivan
Posted at 17:50h, 28 DecemberI would love to have the Passport 2. I currently have the Pfaff serger and a big heavy Bernina sewing machine. I would like a smaller lighter machine to take to classes and fit in my small home.
TENI Akingbade
Posted at 17:50h, 28 DecemberI will love to own on a Pfaff sewing machine

Posted at 17:52h, 28 DecemberI would like to own a Pfaff Passport 2 so I can tote the machine to my different destinations and easily store since living space is tight. Thanks so much for the opportunity
Bridget Garza
Posted at 17:58h, 28 DecemberA new, feature filled machine to add to the collection, and one that would not take up the entire sewing table, who wouldn’t want one?
Cee Ragin
Posted at 17:58h, 28 DecemberA small machine that can travel would be wonderful. Want to teach my granddaughter we lives at a distance. Winning would be a dream come true.
Suzanne Gourluck
Posted at 17:59h, 28 DecemberWouldn’t it be pfaffulous to win this compact Pfaff machine!
We just downsized and I’m forever hauling my machine from the basement upstairs to set up on the dining table. Plus it needs an adapter and runs on a transformer. International moves are not fun!
Julia Lemon
Posted at 18:02h, 28 DecemberI’d love to win the Pfaff Passport machine because it would mean I’d never go ANYWHERE without being able to sew!!! What a lovely thought 🙂
Helen McCleneghen
Posted at 18:09h, 28 DecemberI would love to be able to give this machine to my daughter who will be married soon!
Sherri Mcgee
Posted at 18:10h, 28 DecemberWhat a great prize. I’ve heard great things about PFaff. I would love to win.
Terri Shaver
Posted at 18:13h, 28 DecemberWho wouldn’t love a new sewing machine?? I have a very old machine and anything would be better than what I have!
Thank you for the opportunity!
Terri Baker
Posted at 18:15h, 28 DecemberWOW! I’d love to have this machine for easy carry to classes and retreats!! I’ve heard PFaffs are great! Thank you!

Posted at 18:15h, 28 DecemberIt’s a pfaff….amazingly designed and built machines. It would be a pleasure to sew on one. Thanks for the opportunity. Congrats on your successes!

Melissa Bauska
Posted at 18:17h, 28 DecemberCongrats on a new grandbaby – how precious! I’d love to win a new sewing machine for my new sewing space that I finally just finished creating last week. Looks like a fabulous machine. Happy 2019!
Martha Ann Murray
Posted at 18:22h, 28 DecemberThe 2018 RTW fast has been fun, though I have sewn very little. I love seeing what everybody else is sewing though. The Pfaff would be wonderful to have, I could take it to Florida and sew every day for 2 months!
Maarja Paris
Posted at 18:24h, 28 DecemberThe Pfaff passport 2 is the ideal machine for me as we downsize to a much smaller home. After teaching my daughter-in-law to sew I have handed over my “bigger” machine to her to encourage her even more. Now I am without a machine and would love something like the Pfaff passport. Thank you for your great blog posts…I have gotten many ideas from your projects.
Susi Boutault
Posted at 18:26h, 28 DecemberI’ve owned a pfaff for 22 years. Just repaced my 7570 with the Performance Icon. Love it but miss having a “portable” machine.
Marilyn Struckmeyer
Posted at 18:26h, 28 DecemberMe oldest daughter is currently using the original Pfaff machine I bought 28 years ago. It’s still going strong(!) but a new machine would be such a great treat for her since she just had her 3rd baby in November. She doesn’t have a lot of extra space and the Pfaff Passport would be perfect!
Pam Baier
Posted at 18:36h, 28 DecemberI’ve never sewn on a Pfaff and would love to have a light weight machine. I’m new to your blog. Thanks for the opportunity to win the machine.
Elizabeth Farrand
Posted at 18:37h, 28 DecemberI’d love to try out a Pfaff! My current machine us a very, very large Bernina. My youngest daughter wants to learn to sew; this would be great for her!
Nice to see you back in blog land!
Jo Ellen Kanner
Posted at 18:44h, 28 DecemberDear Stitchers~
This machine was MADE for me! My sewing room is smaller than most peoples’ closets, so I have to be really choosy about what can occupy space….Even the machines! My husband built a laminate floor platform over a defunct jacuzzi tub and put up shelving so I would have my own sewing sanctorum. I would be so honored to grace it with a brand spanking new Pfaff. Pick me, O’ Sewing Goddess!

Anita Barber
Posted at 18:47h, 28 DecemberI’d love to win the Pfaff because my first machine was a Pfaff and it was great to have a machine with IDT feed. I’ve really missed that feature!
Kathleen Tracey
Posted at 18:50h, 28 DecemberI intend for 2019 to be a transformative year. I have decided to turn every outfit I sew into something boldly artistic by experimenting with different designs, colors and fabrics. I want to up my attention to detail. I believe the Pfaff Passport 2 can take me there.
A modern, lightweight (12.9 lbs) innovative multi-use sewing machine built for mobility is just what I need. More specifically, the Integrated Dual Feed (IDT) System that allows for transitioning varying thicknesses of fabrics is an especially attractive feature together with up to 70 programmable stitches. The stainless steel free arm with the optional extension table would work wonders in my space.
Nothing like kicking off 2019 with the means to achieve my goals in an exceptional manner. I would most certainly be grateful if I became the proud owner of a Pfaff sewing machine on New Year*s Eve.
Enjoy following your sewing adventures. Congratulations on the completion of your new book. All the best in 2019 to you, your family as well as all the readers of your blog.
Judy Duerson`
Posted at 18:52h, 28 DecemberI have never owned a Pfaff sewing machine, but friends of mine in the sewing guild do and really like the features. I downsized from a house to condo living and think it might be nice to have something this size. It would also travel nicely.
Jody Hug
Posted at 18:52h, 28 DecemberI love my Pfaff Creative Vision but will not take it out because it is too precious to pack around. I would love a Pfaff Passport 2.0 for classes.
Kate Hanauer
Posted at 18:52h, 28 DecemberWhat an amazing giveaway!! This blog is what inspired me to learn to sew. Two years ago I left my corporate job but couldn’t bear to leave my corporate fashion inclinations. Not being able to justify spending a lot on couture, I threw myself into making it. Sarah you and these women are what taught me that I could do it! Two years later I make almost all of my own clothing and i look as good as Bergdorffs window ;). To boot I have been sewing this whole time on a refurbished Brother I bought at Walmart for $50. I would die to own a new Pfaff – just to see how it stitches would be such a gift.
Marla Harrison
Posted at 19:04h, 28 DecemberMy sister is trying to get back into sewing and needs a machine. I would like to win this machine so that I could give it to my sister. Thanks for the opportunity!

Posted at 19:07h, 28 DecemberMy current basic Brother sewing machine just died. Not sure if it can be resurrected 🙁
A new sewing machine would be a wonderful miracle!
Daryl 'Deedee' Reese
Posted at 19:15h, 28 DecemberI’d love to win the Pfaff Passport 2. It would be a dream to own and a pleasure to use all the advanced stitches it has. I’ve followed your blog for several years. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
Linda Thompson
Posted at 19:27h, 28 DecemberI’ve never owned a Pfaff and I sure would like to! I hear they are wonderful machines.
Meredith Piatt
Posted at 19:33h, 28 DecemberLooking forward to your new book! And I’d love to win a new portable machine. Retiring soon, and hope to do more traveling and sewing…maybe at the same time.
Deon
Posted at 19:37h, 28 DecemberI’d like to use this to teach my grown daughter to sew (and to give her the machine). I feel badly that she’s not keeping up with the family tradition of sewing. Perhaps it skips generations, as my mom didn’t sew a lot. The Pfaff Passport 2 would be a great way for me to pass along the love of sewing.

Posted at 19:39h, 28 DecemberI would dearly love a compact sewing machine, especially a Pfaff. We are moving across country for a year while my husband is on sabbatical and will be lucky to find a small one bedroom to live in for the duration. A small machine would help me keep my sanity for the year.

Posted at 19:42h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a new compact sewing machine. I make children’s handsmocked kid clothing and am always on the road doing shows. This would be so convenient to take with me!!!
Laurie Cobbett
Posted at 19:44h, 28 DecemberI would so love to have a machine with IDT, it would make sewing so much easier.
Congrats on the new book!
Sofie Mitropoulos
Posted at 19:48h, 28 DecemberMerry Christmas and Happy 2019. I would love the Passport Pfaff as the IDT walking foot is intriguing and I love the fancy stitches. I think it’s a terrific looking machine and will be perfect for taking to Spoolette sewing meet ups and retreats, with a couple of neck injuries a lighter machine would be terrific..
Margaret Cole
Posted at 19:48h, 28 DecemberI would love a new sewing machine. I bought an inexpensive sewing machine when my first grandchild was born almost 18 years ago.
Sonja Barber
Posted at 19:50h, 28 DecemberHey girl. It was great meeting you this yeart at the 2018RTWFAST meeting in Dallas. You inspired me to branch out with my swing, however I get very frustrated with my very basic machine. I’d LOVE to win this one. I’m sure I’d get much more done.
Happy New Year!
Peggy Fehncke
Posted at 19:58h, 28 DecemberIf I’m so lucky to have it come my way, I would use it to teach new sewers. I’ve recently been approached by two young ladies, 12 and 21 years of age, asking me to teach them to sew. It would be perfect machine for that.
Fabulous travel machine as well.
The rtw fast has been great inspiration. I’ve certainly enjoyed all of the posts and will continue to follow the remaining members.
Elizabeth Kauffman
Posted at 19:58h, 28 DecemberI retired in summer and my machine died in the fall. I would love a good fancy machine as I am a lifelong sewist and feel a bit abandoned. Timing could not be more perfect!
Margaret Winters
Posted at 20:00h, 28 DecemberWow, sounds like a wonderful opportunity! I love Pfaff machines.
Janet
Posted at 20:01h, 28 Decemberthank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to win this excellent machine. i was so happy to have found your blog as it has helped me to really “up” my sewing game as i have re-entered the garment portion of sewing. i am an avid quilter but after many years away from garment sewing i have jumped back into the deep end and absolutely love it…..so now i split my time between the two. again, thank you for this very generous give a way and i am keeping my fingers crossed. i continue to look forward to your very inspiring blog. thank you so much janet jecagain@gmail.com
Beth Troxell
Posted at 20:03h, 28 DecemberI would adore winning a new sewing machine! My Brother machine is 35 years old. It created lots of Halloween costumes for our three kids. I am in a new season of life as an empty nester and want to reignite my love for sewing! A new machine is definitely on the 2019 Bucket List. I am so glad I found out about you in a local article closer to two years ago. I can’t wait to start sewing again!
Carrie Cooper
Posted at 20:04h, 28 DecemberI’ve been sewing on my 1985’ish Viking Classica 100 since I received it brand new. I have a few other “oldies” but would be thrilled to try out a new model from Pfaff! Good luck to all!
Annette
Posted at 20:11h, 28 DecemberI like this is compact and can be stored on a bookshelf. For that reason I’d use it more. I have a large machine and, since I don’t do the amount of sewing I used to do, it is stored in a closet. I dread taking it out each time. I know I’d use the compact one much more often.
Chris
Posted at 20:16h, 28 DecemberI would love that Pfaff Passport. It would be more portable than my 5.2 with many of the same features and functions that Pfaff is renowned for. Thanks for the opportunity and hosting the RTW 2018 fast!
Chris
CATHIE PASKI
Posted at 20:16h, 28 DecemberI would love to win this Pfaff sewing machine. I like the small size, so I could take with me on our RV and to classes. I had Pfaff sewing machines in the past and have loved them.
Patsy Byers
Posted at 20:30h, 28 DecemberMy stash has grown, while my finished garments haven’t, and I’m convinced that one big reason for that is that my old Kenmore doesn’t make it easy. I’d love to win a machine for sewing in the 21st century! M any thanks for the opportunity to enter and warm wishes for a fine 2019!
Margaret Thatcher
Posted at 20:30h, 28 DecemberI would love to win a light compact sewing machine and the Pfaff Passport is perfect. I could then go to my sewing classes on my own, as I currently have to get my husband to take me to carry my big machine.
Brenda Radford
Posted at 20:30h, 28 DecemberWould love to have a Pfaff machine to travel with Nd take to classes! I have the Icon and love it….was a Viking girl before but am hooked on Pfaff now. Love making my tunics on it.
Barbara Oneill
Posted at 20:32h, 28 DecemberI have never used or owned. a Pfaff. Or even used a machine beyond a straight and zig zag stitch. What a learning experience that would be!
Ginger Lane
Posted at 20:33h, 28 DecemberWinning the machine is winning the freedom to create and sew with all the inspiration and enthusiasm encouraged by Pfaff
Make it Any Wear
Posted at 20:37h, 28 DecemberThe Passport would be perfect for me as I live in a one bedroom apartment and don’t have room for anything larger. It would be a joy to be able to drop the feed dogs and have 60 more stitches than my current, well loved, machine.
Sheila Moller
Posted at 20:40h, 28 DecemberWhat wonderful, thoughtful gift. I would love to have a. New lightweight Pfaff! Have loved being a participant in the fast. Did you say the fast was over. I’m going shopping tomorrow!!!
Christina Enright
Posted at 20:45h, 28 DecemberA Pfaff Passport would be a dream come true! I’m a 2018 RTW Faster who loves to continue to learn and grow my skills. The Passport would be an amazing next step in this journey.
P Kapla
Posted at 20:48h, 28 DecemberI would love to own the Pfaff because it seems like a solid, dependable light weight machine. I particually like the IDT feature and the button hole attachment looks great! Those are two things that frustrate me with my current machine!
Judy mathis
Posted at 20:56h, 28 DecemberWow! Super nice giveaway! I would love to have it for class and travel to teach my Grands to love sewing! Thanks for the opportunity !
Kim Watson
Posted at 20:58h, 28 DecemberI would love to upgrade to a new macine. I have been seeing for ten years and still use a basic Brother machine. I have also been reading your blog for a long time and think it is wonderful.
Patty
Posted at 21:00h, 28 DecemberI would love this machine as my beloved Bernina machine, that I have owned for 10 to 12 years, is wearing out. The repair man recently told me I have sewn over a million stitches on my machine; I’m guessing my machine has a counter located somewhere inside the body. Sewing has been my passion for over 40-years and computerized machines are simply the best machines.
JS
Posted at 21:01h, 28 DecemberDid you make the wrap dress? If so, which pattern is that? It looks great.
Kathleen Gradberg
Posted at 21:22h, 28 DecemberMy original Pfaff is nearly 30 years old and a workhorse. But a new machine is always a fun acquisition.
Joy Jensen
Posted at 21:24h, 28 DecemberI can’t wait to see the new book! I successfully completed the RTW Fast but never posted a photo but plenty of comments! It was definitely an inspiring year. For some reason, I didn’t complete as many sewing projects as expected but. Plan to continue this year.
Karen Walker
Posted at 21:26h, 28 DecemberI would love to own a Pfaff Passport 2! Years ago, I foolishly traded out my well-loved Pfaff 1475 for a trendy new brand. I miss the fine Pfaff German engineering, the precise stitching, the IDT, and the exquisite built-in stitches. I even miss the somewhat nerdy manual. Should I be chosen, I promise to take good care of her, and will deeply appreciate the body friendly size and function.. Thank you for your blog and your inspired creativity. So much fun.
Sharon L
Posted at 21:33h, 28 DecemberI would be so thrilled to have the Pfaff machine as I don’t have a dedicated sewing space and have to cart my machine around, taking it out and putting it away on a regular basis. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Peggy Frankovich
Posted at 21:33h, 28 DecemberOwning a Passport 2 is a “lifetime dream of mine”. I am a 81 year old seamstress who has been sewing since I was 20. I was sewing wearables but have started quilting. Bringing this machine to all my quilting classes and sewing bees would make life so much easier.
Geralyn Gough
Posted at 21:36h, 28 DecemberWow, what a prize! Love my old Pfaff 1214. Thanks for the 2018 RTW. It wasn’t’ so hard.
Rebecca Alzofon
Posted at 21:40h, 28 DecemberYes, please. A small portable Pfaff would be perfect. I don’t have anything like that… New adventures await!
I always enjoy your blog posts!
Deb Holden
Posted at 21:54h, 28 DecemberA Pfaff has always been my dream. They make the best and most practical machines. Please get a dealer in Asheville, NC but I could sure use the one you are giving away for my wardrobe sewing.
Wendy Melnikoff
Posted at 22:05h, 28 DecemberOwning this pfaff would be great and it would be wonderful to have a machine to use for retreats and classes. Pfaff machines are awesome to use and I’d love to be the one winning this machine. Thanks for always inspiring us!
Susan Schneider
Posted at 22:06h, 28 DecemberI’ve got a Kenmore 158.19412 — a true work horse, capable of sewing through just about anything. It also weighs a short ton. Because my sewing spot is also my office desk, I need to often move the machine, but since it’s so heavy, I find myself leaving the sewing machine in storage and therefore losing out on opportunities to sew. A lighter machine would make the moves so much easier! Also — I’d love to experience some of the new features, like an automatic threader or the 1-step buttonholer available on the Pfaff!
Nelli Munar
Posted at 22:13h, 28 DecemberI have Pfaff creative 4874 and I love it so much. Many decorative stitch to use on this machine. I love making leggings using this machine.
I would love to own a Pfaff Passport 2 so I can learn making other type of clothes.
Please let me own one single needle machine.
Sue Schick
Posted at 22:13h, 28 DecemberI love Pfaff seeing machines! Count me in to have my name drawn for the machine!
Happy New Year!
Sue Schick
Posted at 22:18h, 28 DecemberActually, I love Pfaff sewing machines, not seeing machines! I bought my first Pfaff in 1980, and have been in love with them ever since.
Love that spellcheck….
Janice Delahunty
Posted at 22:21h, 28 DecemberOh, to own such a machine would be a dream for me! It would really help kick up my sewing ….it would up my game…the need to improve to match the machine!
Rosemary Griffin
Posted at 22:26h, 28 DecemberI have dreamed of a new machine, A Pfaff would be wonderful. Thank you for hosting the RTW fast never thought that I could do it.
Angela Wilson
Posted at 22:36h, 28 DecemberI would love to have a portable machine to be able to sew with friends! And the Pfaff would be so nice! Thanks for hosting the RTW fast. I have really enjoyed this year of sewing😊
Lori
Posted at 22:41h, 28 DecemberI would love to try this sewing machine! It would be interesting to learn how to use a new and powerful machine. Thanks.
Jennifer EZELL
Posted at 22:47h, 28 DecemberHappy New Year! All of us, no doubt, would love to win a new Pfaff machine! I know I certainly would!
I am currently using a hand-me-down machine that is increasingly difficult to get serviced. My husband and I have accepted a multi-year assignment to Tanzania and I desperately need a compact, reliable, versatile machine to help me make that transition later this year. I cannot wait to play with a new range of African prints.
Karen Gordon
Posted at 23:03h, 28 DecemberA new Pfaff would be wonderful! My Viking is pretty basic. I’m very committed to a RTW fast in the new year and it would be a joy to learn new techniques on a new machine!
Lamar Mendiola
Posted at 23:12h, 28 DecemberI am currently starting a sewing project to sell items and donate the proceeds to the local food pantry. Since I use upcycled fabric for my creations, this machine would help immensely with the built-in stitches to decorate the fabrics plus the workhorse reliability that Pfaff machines are known for. Hope I win! Happy New Year!
Chrissie Boughey
Posted at 23:13h, 28 DecemberWinning a Pfaff is the only way I would ever get to own one. I’d love to have this!
J. Ivanski
Posted at 23:20h, 28 DecemberSeriously, who wouldn’t love to win this sewing machine? I have a Viking Husqvarna that’s about 25 years old and love it but, obviously, it”s getting a little old (like me!). I have been considering the Berninas–how wonderful it would be to win it, no?
Reina Green
Posted at 23:29h, 28 DecemberOh my! Just one comment on why I would love to win a Pfaff Passport II? First would be the quality of Pfaff machines—I have heard about the integrated walking foot—makes so much sense. Why don’t other companies do that? Second is the idea of having a machine easy to transport to classes—maybe even to take when I visit my kids! I might even be able to make clothes they want that truly fit them! Third, this is likely the only way I’ll get to own a Pfaff. Then I’ll be able to Pfaff around with all you other lovely sewers!
Colleen Cornips
Posted at 23:35h, 28 DecemberI have enjoyed the 2018 RTW fast immensely and am very grateful to you, , Sarah,, for organizing it. It has reignited my passion for all things related to sewing. I have heard such great things about the Pfaff sewing machines. This one sounds perfect for taking to classes and my sewing guild meetings. Thanks again for sxeonderful year, Sarah!
Patty Dorion
Posted at 23:37h, 28 DecemberI would love to win this Pfaff so I can sew more RTW fasting clothes!!
Annette Bollig
Posted at 23:37h, 28 DecemberOh how I would love a new travel machine. Besides, I learned on a 1950’s Pfaff. Seems like a good match for my needs.
Angela Marmaduke
Posted at 23:39h, 28 DecemberLove Phaff machines – a great machine for travel and also for my daughter to learn on.
Jennifer McDonald
Posted at 23:41h, 28 DecemberI learned to sew on my mum’s Pfaff at 12, then through 3 years of sewing classes in high school in the 70s, and would love the chance to have one of my own 😀 Thanks for the draw!
Susan Bysch
Posted at 23:44h, 28 DecemberA new Pfaff 2.0 would get a good home and some traveling if it came to live with me!
There is a little cottage on a little lake a few hours from home. My joy in the warmer months is to freshen it up by making curtains, slipcovers, pillows, etc. Hauling the heavy old machine up and back is not fun or easy so this little guy would be fantastic!
Colleen Cornips
Posted at 23:52h, 28 DecemberSorry about typo .. last sentence should read ‘thanks again for a wonderful year’
Sara Ruiz
Posted at 23:55h, 28 DecemberUpgrading to a Pfaff would help me to take my sewing to the next level!
Doris Mays
Posted at 23:57h, 28 DecemberI love sewing since I was in the 4th grade. I’m sixty now. Winning this fabulous sewing machine would be a dream come true. I see for my five grand boys and other family and friends. I do have a machine, but making my own clothing is a sure joy. If I am blessed to win, I will continue to do charity work like making coats for whoever is in need of one, or making prom dresses for teens that their family really can’t afford.
Barbara B
Posted at 00:06h, 29 DecemberCongratulations on completing your second book and likewise becoming a grandmother for a second time! I appreciate all the sewing inspiration your posts give me.
I have a Janome machine that I love but it is definitely not portable! I have been eyeing a good but lighter weight machine that I could take with me. The Piaff machine would be great.
Bronwyn David
Posted at 00:08h, 29 DecemberJust the appliqué stitch alone makes me want the Pfaff. That and the fact my “starter” machine is now approaching 20 years old.
Love the lilac and white collared wrap dress in your phots – I’ll have to go through your posts and find that pattern.
Best wishes and happy sewing in 2019.
Terese Frazier
Posted at 00:24h, 29 DecemberIt’s the perfect travel machine.
Ava
Posted at 00:25h, 29 DecemberWould love the portability of the Pfaff machine.
Mary Deeter
Posted at 00:34h, 29 DecemberOh my goodness! A Pfaff Passport2 would be perfect for sewing in the trailer when we travel this summer! Thank you for the opportunity! Mary
Wehaf
Posted at 00:38h, 29 DecemberI would love this machine because it would help me sew more frequently and easily as I wouldn’t have to drag my huge and ancient clunker out of the basement any time I wanted to work on something.
Addie Kugler-Lunt
Posted at 00:43h, 29 DecemberI am taking more sewing classes and so having a second, and more portable, machine would be extremely helpful. I use a Janome but would like to try a Pfaff. Thank you for the giveaway.
Pam Bruner
Posted at 00:44h, 29 DecemberMy daughter in-law would like to learn to sew. She lives in an apartment and the Pfaff Passport2 would be a perfect size for small apartment living. I would like to give the machine to her. It would also be easy for her to bring with her to my home for sewing lessons.
Carolyn Floyd
Posted at 01:02h, 29 DecemberI have really enjoyed the RTW Fast group this year. Thank you so much for starting this. I plan to continue with this great group of people next year. I would love to have the Pfaff Passport 2 to take to classes I teach or take and to sewing groups I belong to. My current Pfaff 1229 is 35 years old and I nervous about taking out of the house now but I love it. Over the years it has travelled many miles, sewn many things, and taught my children and now grandchildren to sew. Thank you for the fun year and opportunity to win this machine.
Martha Town
Posted at 01:25h, 29 DecemberMy Pfaff is at least 25 years old and I love it, but a new one would be great!!
Amy
Posted at 01:29h, 29 DecemberOhmygoodness!!! I would cherish the Pfaff Passport2!!! My old (41 years) machine is showing her age…I would LOVE this new machine! So, I’ll sit here, crossing my fingers, and wait until I hear who the winner is!
Linda Mik
Posted at 01:36h, 29 DecemberI would enjoy sewing with the Pfaff Passport. It”s compact size would allow me to leave it out on my table desk ready to sew; also,it would be easy to take along to my sewing classes. Thank you for the opportunity to win this lovely sewing machine.
Debi Hempel
Posted at 01:42h, 29 DecemberA new sew8ng machine would be a dream come true. My old Elna is really showing signs of giving up. I have had her over 30 years and now I am starting to teach my grand daughters how to sew. Would sure be nice to have an up to date new machine.
Happy New Year…I sure enjoy your blog!
Marjory Wilkin
Posted at 01:43h, 29 DecemberI would love to have a Passport II because I make a lot of doll clothing and small things, and I could have two colors of thread available to cut down on changing the thread on one machine.
Onorode efeludu
Posted at 01:54h, 29 DecemberWow, it will be a dream come true to own this beautiful portable machine.it will go along way to improve my learning and sewing skills.God bless you richly.
Manju
Posted at 02:40h, 29 DecemberI would love to have a smaller, more compact machine to move around with easily, and travel with. I would also love to try out a Pfaff machine. My mum used to own one many years ago. I wish she’d kept it!
Sheila Munro
Posted at 03:26h, 29 DecemberLovely machine and would start 2019 with a bang!
Shelley Pleger
Posted at 03:28h, 29 DecemberI’ve never owned a Pfaff, but have always been very curious about the IDT tech. I garment sew, but tend to avoid trickier fabrics like chiffon or satin since my older Kenmore likes to suck them into the feed dog without extensive precautions. Maybe the IDT will help with that? If I win the Passport II I guess I’d find out, so here’s hoping! 🙂
Kimberly Lynn Cherrine
Posted at 03:44h, 29 DecemberI would love to own a smaller Pfaff machine I could more easily transport. It would help be able to have the ability to attend a sewing retreat( on my bucket list before I die, diagnosed with cancer in July) and be able to use in my camper which I intend to travel at least up till I can’t…It would be loved and used until I stop kicking and then given to my daughter.
Joan Irons
Posted at 04:19h, 29 DecemberMy granddaughter really wants to start sewing and I would love to have a lovely new machine to get her on her way.
Melissa Westergard
Posted at 04:57h, 29 DecemberI would live this new Pfaff as I have 4 daughters and it is a priority for me to teach them. To have an additional Pfaff would be a dream. I also would like to host some basic sewing classes in my home to further the sewing education and help people not forget that they can be self sufficient and are able to make things.
Melody Srygley
Posted at 05:24h, 29 DecemberI’d love to win the Pfaff Passport II so I could attend free open-sews in my “local” area. I live in the country, and I think that the sewing companionship would help my sewjo! PS Faster 940!
Elaine Sabin-Simpson
Posted at 05:26h, 29 DecemberWow! That has been a busy year…and that sewing machine looks BEAUTIFUL! I really need a mobile machine as I’m being asked by staff and students to start a sewing group at my new school, and there are NONE there to use. This would be a perfect start!
Kathy VanFossen
Posted at 06:25h, 29 DecemberThere’s always room for another sewing machine.. would love to have his little guy join in on all the fun. She would be joining the 2 Pfaff’s I already own and love.
Linda turske
Posted at 06:30h, 29 DecemberIt would be awesome to have a smaller scale macahine when traveling/attending sewing workshops.
Daisy Dianne Bromlow
Posted at 06:53h, 29 DecemberI’m 63 and disabled , living in a small apartment. It would be perfect for many reasons – the main one being I’ve never had a machine with bells or whistles . It would be a blessing . Have a blessed New year !
Joyce P Stevens
Posted at 06:57h, 29 DecemberI would love to have a smaller machine that I can take to my sewing group meetups. Please enter me in the drawing.
Carol Cansdale
Posted at 07:00h, 29 DecemberAt this stage in my life I need another sewing machine like I need a hole in the head! HOWEVER, I certainly wouldn’t turn it down if I won it and would plan to donate it to the local American Sewing Guild for their yearly silent auction. Win-Win!
Lisa Stanford
Posted at 07:24h, 29 DecemberI would Love a passport! My old (35 yrs) is just that -old. How inspiring that would be!
Sherry Pleas
Posted at 07:26h, 29 DecemberI would love to own a Pfaff!
Wendy Sikes
Posted at 07:27h, 29 DecemberI would love a compact portable machine.! Pfaff is one of the very best compNies so I’m sure it’s a dream to sew on.. I’ve been sewing for 50+ years now, it’s still the most fun, fulfilling thing I do. Nothing like creating something from nothing!
Sheryl Belson
Posted at 07:27h, 29 DecemberWhy yes! I would love to win the sewing machine! What a fun giveaway!!
Anita Lynne Holdren
Posted at 07:32h, 29 DecemberI was one of the last to sign up for the RTW Fast and am happy I did. It has been a struggle finding time to sew between a full- time job (necessary to buy fabric), serving a president of our local ASG chapter and leading a monthly beginning sewing neighborhood group. But as the year ends I have sewn more clothing that fits than I have for many years. Sewing keeps me grounded. As sewing skills improve it would be great to have a newer machine to make the process even more fun.
Cheryle Miller
Posted at 07:34h, 29 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff Passport 2. I have never had the opportunity to sew on a Pfaff and would love to! Thanks for the chance to win.
Helen Berry
Posted at 07:50h, 29 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff Passport 2! My first sewing machine was a second hand Pfaff back in 1968 which I learned to sew on . My present machine, after 34 years is on it’s last stitches. The timing would be perfect to take home this beautiful machine. Thank you Sarah for all your inspirations. Looking forward to your new book.
Dania Melancon
Posted at 07:56h, 29 DecemberA machine light enough to grab and go for travel sewing? I’ll take it. Please send me that Pfaff Passport 2! Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Lisa Currie
Posted at 07:56h, 29 DecemberWOW, Who wouldn’t want to win a free sewing machine? I love my Pfaff 2054. This would be a fun machine to have for my get together with other sewists
SusieHamlin
Posted at 07:57h, 29 DecemberI would love a Pfaff Passport 2 because my Pfaff Creative 1371 isstill going strong after 30 years and a second one will ensure at least another 30 years ofsewing!
Laurie Hull
Posted at 08:14h, 29 DecemberI travel a lot for work and always wish I had a sewing machine I could bring with me. Nights in hotel rooms are perfect for sewing!
Camme Mongoven
Posted at 08:22h, 29 DecemberI would love a machine I could take to classes and I have always wanted a Pfaff.
Pamela Daggett
Posted at 08:25h, 29 DecemberI would love the Pfaff Passport 2! I would like to travel to sewing workshops, retreats, etc. but I could never bring my regular sewing machine with me because it’s too bulky and heavy. I never win anything but hope springs eternal! Thank you for hosting this great giveaway!
Mitzy Pearson
Posted at 08:27h, 29 DecemberThe integrated dual feed system in a portable machine is the perfect combination! When traveling or attending classes, I miss all of the upgraded features of my home machine. This machine would be perfect!!!
Ann Wright
Posted at 08:28h, 29 DecemberWe are both retired and love to go to our lake house. DH spends much of his time on renovations. Having this would allow me to work on the window treatments (or treatments for me!) without lugging my heavy machine.
Carolyn McGinnis
Posted at 08:31h, 29 DecemberA sewing machine light enough to travel with would be awesome. Today mine is so heavy it is hard to move around.
Robyn Fogler
Posted at 08:35h, 29 DecemberThe Pfaff Passport is a nice little machine. I would love to own one to use for the sewing classes that I teach. And congratulations on your new book deal. I can’t wait to see it!
Denie Crowder
Posted at 08:35h, 29 DecemberI would love to be able to travel with aPfaff Passport 2 machine! Being able to take it with me would be the best ever, I hope that I win the machine!
Becky Fisher
Posted at 08:39h, 29 DecemberI would love to win this little beauty.. it would be perfect for me to take to my flight attendant daughters “crashpad”. Her little apt is shared with 7 different flight attendants, who come a couple days a week between flights. My daughter always needs uniforms nipped and tucked. The others have learned I sew for Emily (by hand) when there. This machine I could slip in my luggage, would sure give me the chance to help any of them. Thanks!
Heather Rose-Chase
Posted at 08:42h, 29 DecemberI’ve had to move into smaller and smaller homes over the last eight years, and have given up a dedicated sewing space. I’ve been in our current home for 18 months and haven’t once pulled out my heavy, large sewing machine because it would mean having to put it back away again at the end of the day. I’ve been thinking for awhile that maybe I need a more portable, lightweight machine to get the ease I need to still sew while in this season of my life. I’m so hopeful to win!
Vicki Whitney
Posted at 08:50h, 29 DecemberI would be thrilled to win a Pfaff Passport 2 so my granddaughter could sew along with me!
Pamela Davies
Posted at 08:52h, 29 DecemberI have had a Pfaff machine for 25 years and it has been a really good, reliable machine. The only drawback is that it is really heavy to take to classes. I would love to win a lighter weight machine which is more portable from Pfaff.
Tina Lindstrand
Posted at 08:54h, 29 DecemberI would love having a light weight machine that is easily portable! Often I will bring my machine down to the kitchen table instead of working alone upstairs, My primary machine is a Kenmore that I have had for over 20 years, would love to play with all the bells and whistle’s on a newer machine!
Dotti Zupko
Posted at 08:56h, 29 DecemberWould love to have a new sewing machine, would doubly love to have a pfaff.

Posted at 09:02h, 29 DecemberSo glad you are back! I’d love to win the Passport. I teach young girls to sew, and that would be wonderful to be able to take to the classes! It would also be good to expose them to Pfaff sewing machines.

Posted at 09:04h, 29 DecemberSo glad you are back! I’d love to win the Passport. I teach young girls to sew, and that would be wonderful to be able to have something so portable to take to the classes, I already travel with irons and other things they may need to finish their projects. It would also be good to expose them to Pfaff sewing machines.
Jane Mary Green
Posted at 09:04h, 29 DecemberThank you for the opportunity, for a chance to win this beauty! Why….because the excitement would be like owning a new car! Relocating my sewing room to a new room in my house, and placing the Pfaff Passport into it….would be the very best way to start off the New Year! And driving to sewing class with this machine designed for easy travel….would allow me to bring my own machine and stop using their worn school machines! Thanks for your consideration….congrats on the beautiful grandson and can’t wait to get your next book! You & Julie inspire the home sewing industry by keeping it fun, exciting and the cool hobby to have! Sewing is rewarding, removes stress and is great for the brain! Wishing you both much continued success and good health in the New Year!
Robyn Newell
Posted at 09:05h, 29 DecemberWinning this sweet machine would be a problem for me! Hahaha, will I keep it and enjoy it myself or give it to my BFF who really needs some sewing in her live? Stay tuned!
Patricia Walker
Posted at 09:07h, 29 DecemberHappy Holidays! Oh the things I could do with this little machine! I could take it to work and sew on my lunch hour , busy the grands and teach them to sew , and keep it set up at home ready to go!
Donna Dastic
Posted at 09:08h, 29 DecemberI do so love Pfaffs! They are such consistent examples of quality and standards in machines, That’s kind of rare these days! I would love to have a smaller machine to take to classes where I can learn as much as possible about my new fashion sewing passion. Thank you for your blog and all your inspiration. I’ll look forward to the new book, too.
Brenda Porter
Posted at 09:23h, 29 DecemberI would love a new Pfaff Passport. The memories of my mother and her first Pfaff purchased in Germany (1956). It is the only item I wanted from my mother’s collection. Pfaff has been my first choice for a sewing machine.. Happy New Year to Pfaff and everyone that loves their Pfaff !!!!!
Liz Lancaster
Posted at 09:31h, 29 DecemberOwning a Pfaff Passport 2 would inspire me to take more sewing classes, especially classes that would include a challenging project. Nothing wrong with a good challenge. One of the highlights of 2018 was taking the #TunicBibleclass. Then seeing you in Dallas. Looking forward to your next book and meeting up. Happy New Year
Kai
Posted at 09:33h, 29 DecemberI’m doing a Ready To Wear Fast In 2019, and a new sewing machine would be a great help!
Good luck to all!
Marilyn
Posted at 09:40h, 29 DecemberLove your blog, enjoy every moment. Would love to win this machine to take to class and retreat.
Thanks
Marie in AZ
Posted at 09:41h, 29 DecemberOh, my goodness! There are so many reasons I would love to own the Pfaff-Passport 2.0! But it boils down to quality, freedom, and features. Truly, no limitations. Thank you for the opportunity to dream that I may be the winner!
Kim Nath
Posted at 09:43h, 29 DecemberPfaff has such an amazing reputation for quality sewing machines and I would love to up my sewing progress by working on one! Thanks for always having such wonderful makes which are always an inspiration,
Jill Weese
Posted at 09:47h, 29 DecemberOh, the places one could go with that sweet powerhouse machine! Love the features, as well as the ablility to pack all that versatility into a machine that literally sounds like it has no limits! I am a sewist who also has discovered a love for quilting and bag making.. I would LOVE to take this machine with me everywhere I go! Literally!
Rebecca Paul
Posted at 09:50h, 29 DecemberI have been researching and seriously considering the Pfaff machines. I sew a lot of knit/stretch garments. Even though a lot can be done on a serger, not all the construction can. I think the IDT feature would really fit the bill for my style of sewing.
Emily Gerber
Posted at 09:54h, 29 DecemberI would love to try out a Pfaff machine. It would be nice to have a lighter more portable machine. I’d like to try out some of the new features while sewing clothes and accessories in 2019. Also to reinforce steeks of my hand-knit cardigans.
Christie Porter
Posted at 09:54h, 29 DecemberI would love to own the Pfaff 2.0! It would certainly be an upgrade from my current machine. How fun to have to opportunity to learn some new sewing skills with this machine.
Sarah, always enjoy your blog. Thank you for sharing your sewing adventures with us.
Elaine McKay
Posted at 09:55h, 29 DecemberA light weight machine ready to travel and I would love it. It would be much easier to take to volunteer sewing sessions at the hospital. I would love to be able to take it with me when I travel. So sorry I missed your Hawaii tour. We are usually there in the summer to visit family. I always seem to have a lot of fabric to bring home. The Aloha spirit is amazing.
Penny Carruthers
Posted at 09:55h, 29 DecemberI would love a Passport 2 machine as Pfaff is the only machine I use . I have a Performance 5 but the passport 2 would be excellent to on retreats.
Lu Anne Simpson
Posted at 09:57h, 29 DecemberI have wantd to teach sewing at a local children’s home;however, my machine is not portable and I don’t have an extra one. Having this machine would allow me to share the joy of sewing with a new generation.
Johanna Ruiz
Posted at 09:58h, 29 DecemberI never win anything, but here goes: I love the Pfaffs. They are well built and innovative. The Passport is just the right size and weight to take to classes, or if you have limited room at home. I use my Creative every day, but it’s difficult to take along. The Passport would be perfect! 💕
Mary Kane
Posted at 10:02h, 29 DecemberIt would be great to own a Pfaff Passport for when I travel from Iowa to Virginia. I would be able to make clothes and sew special memoryes for my little grandbabies. I have yhings that were made for me when I was little that I still treasure today long after the sewer has passed on. Such wonder momentos of those who loved me long ago.
Allie Casey
Posted at 10:02h, 29 DecemberA pretty Passport 2 would really help at the senior community where I work! We do lots of arts and crafts and crafters have been asking for simple sewing projects.
Debbie Pyle Verhoeven
Posted at 10:05h, 29 DecemberI didn’t participate in the 2018 RTW fast, but I’m planning my own fast for 2019. The Pfaff Passport 2.o would be so handy to have as I plan to take my sewing machine camping with me next year. Funnily, my travel trailer is the Passport model. I’m really hoping this giveaway is open to Canadians.
Jennifer
Posted at 10:06h, 29 DecemberWould love to experience the Pfaff Passport 2. I am a Family and Consumer Science teacher (Home Economics) . FACS has been removed from our curriculum, so I am thinking of starting a summer sewing camp for youth. I loved teaching sewing and would like to continue. What a great tool this sewing machine would be!
Cori Hermle
Posted at 10:07h, 29 DecemberA portable Pfaff would be a lovely sewing machine to have 🙂
With a 3yr old and a 1 yr old, it’s very important that I’m able to completely safely pack away all my sewing equipment.
Karen Caron
Posted at 10:09h, 29 DecemberI would love to own this machine! I have heard such great things about Pfaff and it would be a perfect fit for the small corner in my home that I call my sewing space. It would also be perfect to take to my local sewing retreat I attend twice a year.
Sarah Boses
Posted at 10:17h, 29 DecemberOne of my goals for 2019 is to start teaching sewing classes – it would be amazing to have a machine like this!
All that aside, thank you for leading the fast – I had a great first year and look forward to many more!
Auschick
Posted at 10:27h, 29 DecemberThank you for hosting! It was great to have the extra motivation not to buy rtw 😂. Id love a new machine to help me reach my goals of teaching sewing classes in the future! ♥️
Robin Elizabeth Carson
Posted at 10:35h, 29 DecemberI would be overjoyed if I were selected to win the machine. I have a Singer 401 and it works great for basic needs but now I am sewing more sophisticated patterns with better fabrics and the results are not as I would like. I wish to purchase the Tunic Bible and try a few pattern options but I am waiting until a better sewing machine comes my way.
Lori L Feld
Posted at 10:43h, 29 DecemberI would LOVE the new Passport 2 to take to sewing seminars and classes as I contemplate a ready to wear fast in the new year.. You are such an inspiration, thank you. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Carla Kremer
Posted at 10:49h, 29 DecemberWinning a Pfaff sewing machine would be the best way to end 2018!
Shaneka Giscombe
Posted at 10:51h, 29 DecemberI’d love to win so I have a travel machine for classes
Anne Devaney
Posted at 10:54h, 29 DecemberThe newest machine I own is a 2000 mechanical Husqvarna. It would be great fun to try a digital machine and this Pfaff looks like a scale that I could manage.
Jolayne Nash
Posted at 10:58h, 29 DecemberWhat a wonderful opportunity you’re offering with this giveaway. I’ve been following you for years and have been inspired to sew my own clothes rather than purchase them. I would love to have the Pfaff Passport 2. I have five daughters and it would be nice to have a compact portable machine that transports easily. Thank you for all that you do for the home sewing community!
Princess McGhee
Posted at 11:02h, 29 DecemberI would love to win this machine, as it would be an amazing upgrade from my 7 yr old beginner machine (which I love). I think this would give me even MORE motivation for my 2019 sewing plans!!
Christine Taylor
Posted at 11:03h, 29 DecemberCongratulations on your 2018 RTW fast. I do so admire your steadfastness . I look forward to reading your new title, I love the Tunic Bible, which has proved so useful. I would love to win this Pfaff machine, my current machine is metal and very heavy, so it would be a delight to have this to take to retreats etc. Thank you for entertaining us with your sewing adventures and giving us this opportunity.
Judy Phillips
Posted at 11:05h, 29 DecemberFirst of all I would like to say I grew up in a Pfaff Family!! My Mom taught us 3 girls how to sew on her Pfaff. If that machine could have only talked!! I would love to win a Pfaff Passport 2 to take to my sewing classes. Cousins arthritis has made it hard for me to pick up any machine.
Love your style of clothing! Looking forward to your new book!! Somehow I purchased two of the last one!! Enjoy your segments on PBS It’s Sew Easytv.
Thanks
ParisGrrl
Posted at 11:07h, 29 DecemberId love a lighter weight machine–who wouldn’t? Thanks for the opportunity
LAURA TOWE
Posted at 11:12h, 29 Decemberpick me because I like to win stuff and will sews with it everyday.also I will be able to forgive you for not taking me to HAWAII WITH YOU
Gail Kent
Posted at 11:12h, 29 DecemberWould be a great win. A win would mean a lot of good sewing fun projects.
Roxanne Reynolds
Posted at 11:14h, 29 DecemberMy husband bought a Pfaff for me as a wedding present, That was in 1972, Sadly, not a year after my husband died, my machine stopped working. I just didn’t have it in me to get it fixed so I donated it to a quilting club. I now feel like getting back into sewing and would love to have this machine. Imagine the looks on my traveling companions (not to mention the TSA agents) when I open up the travel size sewing machine,
Ronda Marshall Morris
Posted at 11:28h, 29 DecemberSince i started sewing have always wanted a Phaff. Would really love to jave this one
Joy Griffin
Posted at 11:30h, 29 DecemberI have a Pfaff that is 20 years old and has been a real workhorse! Love that machine but would love to add a new Pfaff to the arsenal.
Angelica Lindholm
Posted at 11:32h, 29 DecemberCongratulations on the book being finished 😀
I would very much like to win the machine, as I do travel a lot with my sewing gear and my current Pfaff is a bit of a … faff… to carry around on trains and such. I have plans to go to a sewing retreat in the new year and a brand new and compact machine would be a lovely addition to the packing list 😀
Thank you for hosting the RTW fast. I managed to follow along on facebook, although I did not post pictures of my finished makes.
Yours,
Angelica
Ginny winter
Posted at 11:35h, 29 DecemberI would love a lightweight Phaff-my machine is old and heavy so I don’t take it to retreats-this machine would allow me to go to sewing retreats
Ruth Lutz
Posted at 11:35h, 29 DecemberMy beloved Singer, which I bought with my life’s savings in 1976, sadly is no more. She was a faithful friend and we spent many happy hours together. So, I am in need of a new machine and as my husband and I are moving to a smaller house in a few months, the Pfaff Passport 2.0 would be a delightful replacement!
What a wonderful giveaway and congratulations on your new book! I look forward to continuing to be inspired by your beautiful creations in 2019!
Maureen Garland McCann
Posted at 11:39h, 29 DecemberPfaff makes such wonderful machines. I have lost weight and I am continuing to loose. I would make such a great machine to remake my wardrobe on. It is small light and has duel feed that can handle any fabrics.
Diane Lackey
Posted at 11:40h, 29 DecemberI have a larger Brother sewing/embroidery machine which I love. However, I’ve been looking for a smaller computerized machine to have on hand for multiple machine sewing and for travel. This Pfaff would definitely fit the bill! Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
Joanne Rice
Posted at 11:41h, 29 DecemberMy goal in 2019 is to learn something new. With the Pfaff Passport 2.0 I would have the ease and capability to dive into all those classes I have been wanting to take. Thank you for your inspiration!
Celeste Amaral
Posted at 11:57h, 29 DecemberFor the past two years, I have been learning pattern drafting (to improve the fit for my pear shape) and garment sewing. I succeeded at pants and skirts. Working on getting the right fit for tops /dresses. I would love to have a machine that I could carry in my travels (car) and be able to sew with others. I am a solo sewist and I am thinking that there must be others within 30-minute drive that are also into garment sewing. There are lots of quilters but no garment makers.
I partially succeeded at the 2018 FAST as I did not buy retail but did not complete a capsule wardrobe. Life happens.
Susan Mollnow
Posted at 12:07h, 29 DecemberI got my current machine just a few months before my 2nd daughter was born. She’s about to turn 18(!) and heads off to college in the fall. Since I’m going to have more free time in my empty nest, having a portable machine will be wonderful for classes and retreats!
Judith Sherwood
Posted at 12:08h, 29 DecemberI have a Pfaff Performance and am saving up for the Icon (a pretty long process for someone on a fixed income!) Meanwhile, I would love to have the Passport 2 for classes. My back injuries keep me from sewing for long periods on any other machine. The gentle slope of the base keeps me from having to wrestle fabrics up onto the base and to lift my shoulders to sew. The difference keeps me sewing. And the Passport has many more features for it’s size than any other machine I have seen.
Jean Atwell
Posted at 12:25h, 29 DecemberI have a new young friend that is about the same age that I was when I started sewing. When she walks into my sewing studio, I see the same look on her face they I had when my parents took me to visit a profession seamstress friend. When ever we get together, she asks me if I made the garment that I am wearing. Even her younger brother has taken notice of my hobby. One day they were visiting in their pj’s , planning to change clothes at my house. Little brother forgot his undershorts and asked his sister if I could make him some before we left for church. 😊 I would love to give this sewing machine to my young friend and start her on the wonderful path that I have been on for 55 years!
Jeanne MacKenzie
Posted at 12:39h, 29 DecemberI went to the site you gave to register for the Pfaff giveaway but don’t see a place to do that on that site. Can you be more specific?
Thanks
Jeanne MacKenzie
Posted at 12:55h, 29 DecemberSewing is my passion. I have been sewing for over 50 years, having learned from my mother at an early age. I have enjoyed all types of sewing and handwork including garment sewing, home dec, quilting, machine embroidery, smocking, etc. I would
love a smaller, lighter weight machine to take to classes and group sewing as it has become harder and harder to carry the heavier machine.
Linda Richwine
Posted at 12:56h, 29 DecemberI would love a Pfaff Passport to take to classes and retreats. Pfaff makes great machines and I’m sure the passport is no exception.
Jill
Posted at 12:57h, 29 DecemberThanks for the giveaway!! I could use this Pfaff replace my “problem child” Bernina.
Sandra Stence
Posted at 13:19h, 29 DecemberI’ve been looking for a new machine since my current one doesn’t sew well. The Pfaff looks like a great option and I’d love to own it and use it to make the clothes and quilts I have planned but have been putting off making because I’m so unhappy with my current sewing machine. Thanks for the contest!
Janee Connor
Posted at 13:29h, 29 DecemberI so enjoyed being part of the RTW Fast this year. I joined the Facebook page, which rewarded me with so many new friends and a ton of inspiration! I wasn’t a frequent poster there, didn’t even share photos of things I’d made over the year until this month, but I was able to answer several questions posed by some of the more enthusiastic and prolific new sewists in the group. Thank you so much for creating the fast and the community – it has inspired me to move outside my boundaries a bit more this year: I’m about to print my first pdf pattern to make a new knit top from some fabric I purchased at Fabrique in Dallas in October!
Now, as why I would love a new Pfaff machine – I attend a sewing retreat weekend every year in November, in the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts – 5 miles off the highway and 1 mile up the mountain. As I get older, packing and lugging all the projects and equipment gets harder to do. Not going is not an option – so a lighter weight machine packed with features like this one would be so much better to bring along!
Happy new year to you and your family, Sarah!
Beckie Munson
Posted at 13:38h, 29 DecemberI would love a lightweight machine that will travel better than my current 30 year old sewing machine!
Happy New Year!
Sandra Ramos
Posted at 13:40h, 29 DecemberI would love a new machine to continue my Ready to Wear fast in 2019!!! I was a little nervous signing up for this year’s RTW Fast but I made it through and have been so inspired! Thank you!
Rose Gusciglio
Posted at 13:43h, 29 DecemberWhat a BEAUTIFUL MACHINE!!! ❤️
I would love to own a sewing machine like this! I have been a sewer for over 30 years but still can’t justify spending a lot of money on a machine like this for myself!!!!
Thank you so much Sarah for all your inspiration! You keep me excited to sew!!!
Happy New Year and God Bless you always!
Kathleen Wille
Posted at 13:53h, 29 DecemberThe built-in IDT would be perfect for taking an all-purpose Pfaff to class and for using at home. I often have more than one machine in use, each threaded and set for a specific project. I know that I would use and treasure a new Pfaff.
Kathleen Dowd
Posted at 13:57h, 29 DecemberI would love to have the Pfaff Passport 2 to take to sewing clasees. I have Pfaff Creative 4.5 , it is very heavy to load into the car and take to classes. I am more of a garment and bag maker. I am not so found of a making quilts. I am trying to work on learning more about how. To properly for a garment!
Kathleen A Kolb
Posted at 14:21h, 29 DecemberHappy New Year to you ! Can’t wait to get your new book and YES I would love to win the Praff Passport 2. I Love my Pfaff and would like a second one to sew on while my other is in embroidery mode. Thank you for a chance to win.
Katy Hoppa
Posted at 14:23h, 29 DecemberA Pfaff sewing machine would be a dream come true. My old sewing machine died and I haven’t been able to replace it. Here’s to sewing and creating beautiful clothes in 2019!
Mary Parker
Posted at 14:35h, 29 DecemberI would love to have a Pfaff Passport 2.0 because my other machines are heavy metal vintage! I love my Pfaff 1222E, but it’s not easy to take to sewing retreats or my #ASG Neighborhood Group meetings, and the 1959 Singer Slant-o-matic is even heavier and less portable! I love Pfaff machines and this would be awesome to bring my sewing into the 21st century!
Julia Varnedoe
Posted at 14:46h, 29 DecemberSewing has always been an important part of my life. My mom taught me to sew doll clothes and then my own clothing from a pattern. I honed my skills in a performing arts high school that had a costume shop. When I began working, I sewed my own suits to help stretch my budget and met my husband when he offered assistance in stowing my sewing machine in he overhead bin of the plane we were on.
Sewing on the Pfaff Passport would be a dream come true! I have 3 kids in college and am constantly making, mending, and modifying things for them. Because it is portable, I can work as easily at home as I can in their dorm rooms. I also sew with friends, hosting “Fix It” days and sharing sewing skills. I would love to learn how to use the differential feed and experience the exquisite craftsmanship of such a well engineered machine.
Peggy
Posted at 14:58h, 29 DecemberHi ~ I’d love to toss my hat in the ring for a chance to win the Pfaff Passport 2.0! I’ve been reading about it on the Pfaff website, and I particularly love that it has the Integrated Dual Feed system as well as being portable. I envision many wonderful projects made on this machine! Thank you so much for this opportunity!
P.S. I can’t wait for the new book!
Jennifer S.
Posted at 15:08h, 29 DecemberI would love to own the Passport 2 because of its convenient portable size. It would be nice to be able to have a machine to take to classes and retreats.
Ruthena Clement
Posted at 15:14h, 29 DecemberI love my Pfaff Quilt expression 4.0 but now find it too heavy to carry out to classes so winning the Passport 2 would be absolutely wonderful.
Theresa
Posted at 15:17h, 29 DecemberI’ve been a fan of GOODBYE VALENTINO for years. Thanks for the opportunity to enter to win the Passport 2. I live in New York City and Passport 2 would be perfect for traveling on subways and buses to sewing meetups and workshops!
Charlotte Szarmes
Posted at 15:42h, 29 DecemberI would love to win the Passport 2! It would be great to bring to workshops, easy to carry, use and store in my tiny space 🙂 Mahalo for the opportunity, I love the Hawaii images,
Laurie Marsh
Posted at 15:59h, 29 DecemberI would love a machine to take with me on my beach cottage retreats! I just bought my daughter a new sewing machine for Christmas and now I think it is my turn;)
ME Herbert
Posted at 16:03h, 29 DecemberI would love to win a new Pfaff! I’ve been happily sewing on my 1467 for twenty years now. It was bought used and is still the best machine I’ve ever had. A new one ( for insurance!) would be nice, though.
Carla Mayfield
Posted at 16:08h, 29 DecemberPfaff has a long history of making fantastic sewing machines. My husband’s grandmother sewed on one, and my MIL still has it and it works beautifully! Who wouldn’t want a brand new Pfaff to pass down for generations?
Jaclyn Jacquard
Posted at 16:11h, 29 DecemberI’m sorely in need of a sewing machine upgrade as I’m teaching my adult son and daughter how to sew. There was no interest when they were younger but they’re very interested now
Anne McClure
Posted at 16:31h, 29 DecemberAs I continue my first into sewing and learning new techniques, attending classes and workshops, I’d like a lighter weight machine to accompany me. I prefer to use my own rather than one provided in class.
Anne McClure
Posted at 16:34h, 29 DecemberThat should be foray not first! Sorry
Danielle
Posted at 16:47h, 29 DecemberOh Pfaff! Would you ship it to OZ?
Betty Wershing
Posted at 17:07h, 29 DecemberI find as I get older I am sewing more. However, my 30+-year-old sewing machine is not aging as well as I am. It’s big, bulky and heavy. Even sew, I find myself hauling it with me when I travel (who knows when a sewing moment might arise). The Passport 2 would be a wonderful upgrade!
Catherine Ryals
Posted at 17:26h, 29 DecemberOh, please pick me!!!!! I would absolutely love to own a Pfaff machine! I have a very basic Singer right now, but I really need to upgrade to a better machine. I’ve been pursuing some online sewing classes to up my game, and I need to up my machine too! It would be mighty fabulous to have a machine with German-made precision. Also, when I want to take to classes in other cities it would be nice to have a really fine machine that also will travel well. I really appreciate your goal of having a memade wardrobe in this day and age when things are so easy to “consume.”
Tonya Shurvell
Posted at 17:50h, 29 DecemberThis would be a wonderful addition to the sewing room!
Sandra Gallant
Posted at 17:51h, 29 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff sewing machine because of its size. It would make it much easier to transport to classes & community service group events.
Suzie Simpson
Posted at 17:56h, 29 DecemberI would love to win a new Pfaff!! I bought my first sewing machine 42 years ago, and it was a Pfaff!! Loved it! So, please include me as a person that wants a new Pfaff! Happy New Year and lived the Tunic Bible❤️, just waiting for your next one………..
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:12h, 10 JanuaryThank you, Suzie! I’m sorry there could only be one winner. 😉
Shari Deline
Posted at 18:12h, 29 DecemberI would love to win this machine … I already own a Quilt Expression 4.2 (which I love!) but the smaller Passport would make it a lot easier to take to retreats.
Connie Wenger
Posted at 18:28h, 29 DecemberOf course I’d love, love, love to win this wonderful new sewing machine! My sister is a Pfaff-ist and she can’t say enough good things about them!
Colleen Laschuk
Posted at 19:04h, 29 DecemberA Pfaff would up my sewing game
Cheers!
Sarah
Posted at 19:06h, 29 DecemberMy teenage daughters just inherited their great grandmothers 1950’s Singer, and are itching to learn to sew on it. This Pfaff would be the perfect compliment to fill in those gaps between the beautiful old machine, and the bells and whistles modern ones.
Jenny B
Posted at 19:18h, 29 DecemberI have been been wanting to share the joy of sewing with others and this would be perfect to help accomplish that goal. I have really enjoyed following allow with the RTW fast, even though I didn’t end up being able to make it through the whole year. It did make me a lot more conscious of what I purchase. Thank you and all the best with your new adventures in the coming year.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:11h, 10 JanuaryAt least you gave it a try, Jenny! Happy New Year 😊
Lisa Sheets
Posted at 19:21h, 29 DecemberOh my now that I am retired and traveling it would perfectly as a traveler, thanks for the awesome give away. Lisa Sheets
Yolanda Reynolds
Posted at 19:21h, 29 DecemberI have never owned a Pfaff. Why not win one. Of course I never win anything, Good luck to me. Happy New Year to all.
Yolanda Reynolds
Posted at 19:22h, 29 DecemberI don’t think my first comment went through. But I never had a Pfaff. I want to win
Charlotte Barron
Posted at 19:26h, 29 DecemberI would love to have a new Pfaff to add to my sewing workshop!!! I have 8 great reasons for needing a new machine and they all start with grand baby!!! Thanks for your great blog!!!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:10h, 10 JanuaryThose are good reasons, Charlotte! I’m sorry there could only be one winner. 😉
Jeanice Shelley
Posted at 19:35h, 29 DecemberI have been quilting for approximately 7 years now but I follow your blog to be inspired to begin sewing garments. I love seeing all the beautiful things you make.
Melissa Dietz
Posted at 19:59h, 29 DecemberI would love a portable Pfaff. Owning one would allow me to visit ladies at a local senior living center for lessons and mostly repairs and sharing around the sewing circle. Now that I am retired I miss interacting with my students in my backstage costume studio. If I had a portable machine, I could get back out there and share sewing with others in a face to face way. Thanks for the opportunity.
MonicaAD
Posted at 20:14h, 29 DecemberI would be honored to own a new PFAFF. I am looking forward to GREAT THINGS in 2019 🙂 A new PFAFF would enhance my CREATIONS even more … FIESTA 😉
Becky Poole
Posted at 20:32h, 29 DecemberEveryone I’ve ever known who has owned a Pfaff says they LOVE their Pfaff!!! It doesn’t matter if it’s new or vintage. I’d like to use a Pfaff to experience why people love it!❤️
Shirley Sander
Posted at 20:42h, 29 DecemberWOW a Pfaff Passport 2.0….it’s so beautiful! I would be over the moon with joy to win such a lovely machine. The IDT feature of a Pfaff cannot compare to any other machine’s capability for sewing knits.
Cecilia Pitas

Posted at 09:09h, 10 JanuaryThank you, Cecilia ~ meeting the deadline made my holiday season more enjoyable for sure!
Tina Spear
Posted at 20:58h, 29 DecemberI would love to own a compact machine as I will be needing to travel a lot this year since my husband will be relocating with his job. A smaller machine will enable me to be able to keep my business going even with me having to do more traveling. Thank you for this opportunity.
Caroline Beckenhaupt
Posted at 21:01h, 29 DecemberI already own 2 Pfaff sewing machines: an older Tiptronic (made in Germany!) and a 2046 (made in Czech Republic). I love them both so much; they truly are “Cadillacs”. The Passport sounds wonderful: compact and easy to travel. Plus, I loooove Charleston so much!!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:08h, 10 JanuaryIf the Tiptronic and 2046 are Cadillacs, the Passport must be a Volkswagen 😂 and I agree…..Charleston is the best.
Nancy Hansen
Posted at 21:06h, 29 DecemberWinning a Passport 2 would be a great way to start the New Year. I’ve been sewing on a Pfaff for over 20 years and a smaller machine would be perfect to take with for workshops or community service days. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Vickie Townsend
Posted at 21:07h, 29 DecemberI want to get back into sewing again, and my old machine is just not up to snuff! Your clothes are so beautiful and your tunic bible is just waiting to be delved into more fully than just looking at the pretty pictures. I hope at age 70 to spend my declining years looking well dressed and to be an inspiration to my friends. Cheers and glad you are back online.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:06h, 10 JanuaryThank you, Vickie – it’s nice to be back!
Karon Scott
Posted at 21:12h, 29 DecemberI have never sewn on a Pfaff….but think that the dual feed system would make sewing heavy garment fabrics and also quilting very smooth. I would love to give it a try. I could then give my other small portable to my Mom.
Deborah Chandler
Posted at 21:14h, 29 DecemberI have long admired the Pfaff sewing machines with IDT. One of my challenges is maintaining even feed of the top and botttom fabric when sewing a seam. I always end up with one side slightly longer than the other. The Pfaff Passport 2.0 with IDT would solve this problem. I would love to own this Pfaff!
Maureen Geisler
Posted at 21:23h, 29 DecemberI own the Pfaff ICON and need a smaller machine for traveling. I have used the Passport 2.0 and it has a quality stitch, easy to use, great for retreats and traveling, and the. IDT works as well as the IDT on the ICON.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:06h, 10 JanuaryMaureen ~
So good to know the IDT works as well on the Passport as the ICON!
Laura Perks
Posted at 21:36h, 29 DecemberMy current machine is pretty basic. I’d LOVE to upgrade to a pfaff. I’d really like a digital machine that can do button holes easily and I’ve heard the pfaff is highly recommended. Thank you so much for hosting the fast this year, it’s been really enjoyable.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:05h, 10 JanuaryThank you for participating the RTW Fast, Laura! I’m sorry there could only be one winner.
Joy
Posted at 21:44h, 29 DecemberHi. Happy Holidays and New Year to you all. I would love to win a new sewing machine. I have never had a new machine in my budget but have worked with older vintage machines. I love them but am sure a new machine would be a treasure. Thanks for the opportunity to enter and wish you all a year packed with adventures. Joy
Carolyn Holmes
Posted at 21:47h, 29 DecemberOf course I would love to win the Pfaff passport! It is light , beautiful and easy to take to classes….. just what I need. My home sewing machine is too heavy to take anywhere!
Thank you for this opportunity
Mary Beth Haggerty
Posted at 21:49h, 29 DecemberHappy New Year! 🎊🎆🎈 Wininning this travel beauty will be a great step toward reaching a number of my 2019 sewing goals!
First is to host (with a friend) a “Tunic Bible” sewing session with a number of women who love to sew! We have committed to a night for this project to be completed and this little baby will be traveling with me every Tuesday!
Second….I have decided to find and join some sort of sewing retreat! Where I can hone my skills and learn some new ones! This Pfaff would be my traveling companion and sounds perfect for the trip!
Last I have decided to teach my granddaughter to see….and can see that the size of this machine would be a perfect addition to my space. What a way to pass on my love of 🧵 and clothes to my fashionista granddaughter!
Thanks you for the contest! Would be my first Pfaff!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:04h, 10 JanuaryWhat a great comment, Mary Beth! I’m sorry there could only be one winner. Thank you for hosting Tunic Bible sessions!

Kelli
Posted at 21:57h, 29 DecemberHappy Holidays and New Year! I have other machines, but find myself constantly looking at Pfaff for the dual feed system. I would love to own this travel machine and up my sewing game!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:02h, 10 JanuaryKelli –
Sorry there could only be one winner. The dual feed system is perfection.
laurie williams
Posted at 22:07h, 29 Decembermy 1st sewing machine was a Pfaff over thirty years ago. It would be great to start the new year with a new Pfaff. Good luck to everyone and a happy healthy new year filled with lots of sewing projects.
Blak blanca
Posted at 22:14h, 29 DecemberWell, so much to make, and nothing better than a great machine like the Pfaff. I am an older sewist so light and small is just what I need for setting up and puting away a project and tools.
Mirjana Freilich
Posted at 22:29h, 29 DecemberI am 68 years old and am a life long Piaf devotee. This year I will be teaching my granddaughter how to sew and it would be made so much easier if I had a lighter, more portable machine to take back and forth. Thanks for hosting the give away!
Mirjana Freilich
Posted at 22:31h, 29 DecemberSorry, spell correct changed Pfaff to Piaf above. Although I do like Edith Piaf too!,
Karen de Vries
Posted at 22:47h, 29 DecemberI work with homeless women and their children in a small shelter in my community. To have a portable sewing machine would allow me to carry it to the shelter to begin teaching the women how to sew. Knowing how to sew will give them new skills and focus, increasing their selfasteem and selfworth. Learning basic and advanced sewing skills will help them mend cloths, sew for their children and themselves and possibly provide a means of income in the future.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 09:00h, 10 JanuaryKaren,
Your comment is very moving and I’m sorry there could only be one winner. Thank you for being such a giving person 😉
Towanda Maker
Posted at 22:47h, 29 DecemberI’m want to win the Pfaff because I’ve seen good reviews of the brand. My current machine needs to be replaced soon.
Angelene Bryan
Posted at 22:51h, 29 DecemberWhat an exciting giveaway!! Like so many others, I would be grateful to win such a beautiful and functional machine. My current sewing machine is a very basic Sears Kenmore model that is many years old. It is a workhorse that I have been blessed to have the opportunity to sew so many garments with for myself and my daughters. Recently, she has decided to be a little finicky and I am having g to be gentle with her. I have hopes of passing her on to my oldest daughter who is nine and so very eager to have her own machine. The Kenmore still works wonderfully for simple and basic items so it would be a good fit for her for the first few years if her sewing journey. But this Momma would sure appreciate a capable (to say the least) professional machine to sew more for my husband and myself as well as work on a quilt here and there, I’ve never made a quilt before and I would love to try on the Pfaff!!! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!! All the best to everyone and a very happy New Year to you and yours!!!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 08:59h, 10 JanuaryThank you, Angelene and I hope you’re able to get a new machine soon. Sorry there could only be 1 winner 😉
Christine Chin
Posted at 23:05h, 29 DecemberHi there! I really enjoy your blog, and the rtw fast us such a great idea to inspire us sewists. Of course I would enjoy a new machine, I just have a basic machine that serves me well but my sewing is improving and would benefit from a more feature rich machine.
Nancy Morris
Posted at 23:21h, 29 DecemberI have loved my Pfaff 7550 for over 25 years, using it for both quilting and garment sewing. Before I got it I went through 2 0r 3 machines because none of the produced a decent, reproducible stitch. But my 7550, how do I love thee… until the motherboard burned out on Christmas Eve as I was madly finishing Christmas presents. I’ve been reading reviews for various since then while my planned projects sit. A free Pfaff… how nice to dream.
Elisabeth Steadman
Posted at 23:42h, 29 DecemberWow, what a generous giveaway! I’d love a new sewing machine, and the compact size fits my limited space perfectly. Pfaff is known for their fantastic quality, and what a sweet machine that is!
Marilyn Bowman
Posted at 01:09h, 30 DecemberWould to have a machine that I can pick up to easily travel with.
Love my old metal machine, but she is HEAVY!
Christine Brozowski
Posted at 01:21h, 30 DecemberHow unbelievably generous to offer a machine! Thank you for hosting this give-away.
Rusti Hansher Moffic
Posted at 01:59h, 30 DecemberOh my! How I’d love a Passport 2
It could do anything I would love it to do
I could pack it right up for a trip to Spain
And take it along on the air-o-plane
The IDT that machine possesses
Would insure perfects stitches on my summer dresses
A machine like this would invade my dreams
With its 70 stitches making perfect seams
I could sew in a tent by the light of the moon
In Morocco, in Lisbon, in sunny Cancun
I would make a bikini and swim in the sea
Oh what a companion this Pfaff would be!!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:55h, 10 JanuaryJust so you know, I sent your poem to Pfaff, Rusti! 😊😊😊😊
J Andersen
Posted at 02:08h, 30 DecemberI would love to win a Pfaff. I am already imagining all of the things I could sew with it. What a great after Christmas gift!
Lis Taylor
Posted at 03:09h, 30 DecemberYour posts are always so well photographed and your makes a total insipration. I would love the Pfaff passport to take with me when I visit my children and am asked to sew clothes as well as home furnishings for them. I have enjoyed the RTW fast this year and have been proud of my ability to stick to it. Roll on more sewing in 2019.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:54h, 10 JanuaryThank you, Lis for participating in the 2018 RTW Fast and congratulations on making it through the year!
Donna Burnside
Posted at 04:43h, 30 DecemberI would love it! It would make a great gift for my mom who sews!
Isabelle
Posted at 04:59h, 30 DecemberI’m still sewing with the Pfaff 90 my mom bought 55 years ago and I love it. A new one could be a great gift for my daughters. Thank you for this giveaway :))
Sandra Fagan
Posted at 06:29h, 30 DecemberMy adult daughter has in the last six months started sewing and we have wonderful sew bonding time together when she comes to visit. The last time we were together we worked on a heavy duty backpack for hiking. Something I wouldn’t have even considered making but we made up a prototype and she was able to make the finished one when she got home. She takes me on such fun “sewing adventures” that expand my knowledge and creativity! I would love to be able to gift her a new sewing machine and see how far she can go!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:53h, 10 JanuaryHow nice to sew with your daughter, Sandra! Sorry there could just be one winner 😉

Posted at 07:43h, 30 DecemberWho wouldn’t want a new sewing machine! Happy New Year!
Martha B
Posted at 08:16h, 30 DecemberI have grandgirls beginning to learn to sew. First granddaughter has machine so now and second grandaughter is beginning to kearn. It is so heartwarming to pass this art on to a new generation. I would love to be able to gift my girl with a machine of her own.
Margaret Mack
Posted at 08:33h, 30 DecemberI would love to win a Pfaff Passport 2 sewing machine. What could be better than to have a sewing machine to take to classes! Imagine being in Italy last fall, in fabric heaven for six weeks with no machine! It would have made trip complete. Please help!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:52h, 10 JanuaryI think being in Italy for six weeks would be dreamy without a machine! Italian fabric stores are the best ever 😉
Maryellen Mayer
Posted at 08:44h, 30 DecemberThis is a perfect machine for taking to class. No need for large, cumbersome roller case. This machine is a dynamo. It has all the features I use with none of the weight. I hope I will this Fabulous machine.
Carrie Caldwell
Posted at 08:56h, 30 DecemberThe Passport 2 would be a dream to own, as my 1950s era Slant-o-Matic is too heavy to drag to a class! I’m so looking forward to your second book!
Peggy Abrams
Posted at 08:58h, 30 DecemberHi Sarah, Congratulations on finishing the book. I know we are all eagerly awaiting its release.
I would love to own the Passport for two reasons. — first, for taking to sewing classes, and second, to use for teaching my granddaughters how to sew when they are ready.
Happy New Year,
Peggy
Marianne rOSEMANN
Posted at 09:40h, 30 DecemberIt would be such a thrill to own a Pfaff sewing machine of this size. The machine I have is too heavy and bulky for me to lift let alone take places. Having this would allow me to expand my sewing education and also sew with others I will keep my fingers crossed!
Catty Andry
Posted at 09:40h, 30 DecemberA portable sewing machine would be great! We have a new group of sewists in Asheville and I could bring it to our get-togethers!
Glad to see you back on the blog Sarah! Can’t wait to hear about your new book!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:50h, 10 JanuaryHappy New Year, Catty! I’m happy to be back for sure 😉
Rebecca Merrifox
Posted at 09:43h, 30 DecemberThis is end of my first year of sewing and what a year it has been. I’ve learned so much and am so proud of how far I’ve come. All of my sewing had been on a rather rickety plastic machine that was about as inexpensive as I could find at the time. Now that I know I love this art I definitely want to upgrade! I did a lot of research and decided that Pfaff has everything I want and need, I’ve started setting money aside, but it will be quite a while before I’ve squirrelled away enough for the machine of my dream.
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:49h, 10 JanuaryCongratulations on your sewing progress Rebecca! Hope you get the machine of your dreams soon 😉
Nancy Balding
Posted at 09:44h, 30 DecemberSmall, light weight, with pfaff quality perfect for Thursday sewing get together.
Jessica A
Posted at 09:48h, 30 DecemberSounds like a great machine! I’ve been taking more sewing classes and as much as I love my vintage Singer, it’s so dang heavy! It would definitely be awesome to have a machine that travels more easily :-).
Wanda Prock
Posted at 09:52h, 30 December2019 is the year I want to sew my own wardrobe and how wonderful would it be to use the new Pfaff sewing machine.
Love reading your post, so inspiring!
Mary Danielson
Posted at 09:54h, 30 DecemberCongratulations on all the happenings! It sounds like a lovely finish to your year.
I would love to win the Passport, if only for a machine that makes reliable buttonholes! My current machine messes up every 5th or 6th one, which is driving me batty. I’d love to try a Pfaff!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:48h, 10 JanuaryHi Mary! Hope you and your baby are doing well. Sorry there could just be one winner and hope you get a new machine soon😉
Carrie
Posted at 10:27h, 30 DecemberA portable sewing machine would be a great addition to my kids (machines). I would be thrilled to adopt her! 😊
Alice Hall
Posted at 10:41h, 30 DecemberI would sew clothes for myself and my family. Looks like a great machine!
Heather Pennie
Posted at 10:41h, 30 DecemberA high quality and portable Pfaff would make my sewing hobby even more of a mental health break. Sewing at the lake would definitely be the road to happiness!
Suz Pomatto
Posted at 10:59h, 30 DecemberI have been sewing on my Pfaff for over 30 years and the last time I had it repaired I was told that the machine was too old to continue to repair😢 Would love to have a new Pfaff!

Posted at 06:46h, 10 JanuarySorry there could just be one winner Suz and hope you’re able to get a new machine soon.
Carol Wodak
Posted at 11:13h, 30 DecemberWOW – perfect ending to a less=than-perfect year = and with the perfect sewing machine adding a final touch to my beloved and faithful Pfaff stable, which goes back to a 917, then a 1222 …

Marie Barrese
Posted at 11:54h, 30 DecemberHi Sarah! First off, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. And Congratulations on the latest addition to your family, Little Billy! What a cutie. Am anxiously awaiting to see what your new book is all about. Have gotten so many compliments on the two tunics I’ve made so far and a long sleeved one is in the queue. I know this next book will be fabulous. You and Julie are such creative sewers. It would be a blessing to win the Pfaff Passport. My old Bernina is extremely heavy, therefore, am in the market now for a lightweight machine. But to have one with loads of bells and whistles, this would make my day. Hope to see you and Julie again in 2019! Fondly, Marie
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:45h, 10 JanuaryHappy New New Year, Marie! Many thanks for your comment – having seen your tunics I’m not surprised about the compliments you have received 😉 Please send a pic of the long sleeved tunic once it is finished!
Barbara Rosenblatt
Posted at 12:05h, 30 DecemberAs a dedicated caftan-wearer from the first time around (don’t ask the year – just think platform shoes and hip huggers), a small, lighter-weight machine would be gift from heaven. The machine i use now is on a different level of the house and this would allow me to be in on the house action. How wonderful that would be!. Thank you for the terrific opportunity to win it.
Kay Klingman
Posted at 12:10h, 30 DecemberI would love, love, LOVE! a Pfaff Passport 2! My current sewing machine, which I bought second hand in 2014, has been used almost every day since. Apparently it was dropped by its previous owner, and the bent innards have gotten more and more worn, to the point that it doesn’t make a consistently good stitch. The local repair shop isn’t comfortable trying to fix it anymore, so I have been fitfully searching for a new machine. To win one, wow! That would be so great!
Good luck with your upcoming book!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:42h, 10 JanuaryThank you, Kay! So sorry there could only be one winner ~ hope you are able to get a new machine soon.

Karen Thompson
Posted at 15:48h, 30 DecemberI’d love to own this new Pfaff machine because, quite simply, it’s one of the best sewing machines in the world and I simply can’t afford to purchase it myself. I love to sew and have been sewing for many years. Good luck to all who have entered!
Katrina Bradshaw
Posted at 15:51h, 30 DecemberI love that this machine is compact and portable. I would be able to take it on trips as well as use at home. I’ve heard wonderful things about Pfaff and would love to have one.
Elizabeth Aravena
Posted at 16:15h, 30 DecemberGosh, I’d love a good machine for my small space!
Stacey Funk
Posted at 16:21h, 30 DecemberI’m looking for a smaller machine as a back up to my big machine and this may be just what I’m looking for.
Laureen Larrison
Posted at 16:36h, 30 DecemberI grew up sewing on my mother’s Pfaff sewing machine. I sold primarily clothing for myself for my younger siblings for nieces and nephews but also a few toys and purses. When I married and had children of my own I couldn’t afford a sewing machine so I would go home and sew on my mothers Pfaff. With the promise that I would see for my younger sisters my mother paid for half of a new sewing machine. But it was not anything like her Pfaff. I sewed on it for years though and was finally able to purchase a better quality machine . But nothing before or since then has compared to the sewing that I did on my mother’s machine. It has been a dream of mine for 50 years since I started sewing when I was 10 years old to own a Pfaff machine. It would be a dream come true to win this machine!
goodbyevalentino
Posted at 06:40h, 10 JanuaryHi Laureen – Thank you for your comment – so sorry there could only be one winner.
Carol Jansson
Posted at 17:28h, 30 Decemberwowsa! Would love to take a couture sewing class! Looks like a perfect little machine!
Lizabeth Cobb
Posted at 18:09h, 30 DecemberI would love this machine, it would be perfect to take with me when I visit my elderly parents in Mississippi. My mother was a wonderful seamstress and sewed most of my clothes as I was growing up. She cannot sew anymore and always has sewing for me to do but I never have a machine to take with me! I have your tunic book but have not tried it yet, I made many clothes for my daughters but never for myself, I bought the book with the idea to sew something for myself. Happy New Year to you and your growing family, aren’t grandchildren the best!

Posted at 18:34h, 30 DecemberMy machine is pretty old and pretty simple. Pfaff is such a good brand. It would be an honor to have one.
Kathryn Barnhill
Posted at 18:59h, 30 DecemberI have four granddaughters but one is a born meter. Her Christmas presents included tape and a stapler and she was thrilled. This Pfaff would be perfect to teach her to sew and have as her own if she takes to it as I am sure she will.
I personally own an older Pfaff and it is a workhorse. It is so powerful I always use it for my home dec projects and I sew a lot of home dec. it is waiting now to finished a Roman shade that’s laying out ready to assemble.
Kathryn Barnhill
Posted at 19:37h, 30 DecemberSorry, a maker not a meter.
Liz Waters
Posted at 19:47h, 30 DecemberWould love a portable sewing machine! Every holiday is improved by being able to sew!
Amy Jo Woods
Posted at 20:05h, 30 DecemberHave owned a German Pfaff sewing machine my Dad traded our window A/C unit for with a woman who had come back to America from Germany in 1974
I was elated…as a young tall teen who sewed all her pants and tops to fit….I knew I could continue to do so when we moved to Germany in just weeks after we traded with this wonderful woman!
Anyways,, this was in 1974, and upon coming back to the U.S.A., with my mother and father retiring and moving to Florida….I had the Pfaff’s German electric current plug switched over to the American current.
It has worked for years, and quite wonderfully I must say. It’s apart of my young adult year…and can’t part as I’m sentimental to a fault.
Having a new Pfaff like the one in this give-a-way would be so Over-The-Top for me!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Posted at 06:37h, 10 JanuaryWhat a great entry comment, Amy Jo! So sorry there could just be one winner.☺️

Elicia Polacek
Posted at 21:52h, 30 DecemberOh my, I would love one as my antique is starting to near its end of life. The other reason is, this would be awesome to take to my girlfriends and we could sew together. We both have some awesome ideas (she has all the fabric at her house as my husband spazzes when I bring new stuff in) and this way we could work as a team.
Thank you for the great chance. Happy New Year.
Melonie Stanton
Posted at 22:35h, 30 DecemberThank you for the giveaway! I would love this machine! I’m wanting an upgrade and this Pfaff would be perfect for my little sewing corner in my bedroom. Happy New Year!
Diane O'Neal
Posted at 22:37h, 30 DecemberAs I have ten and twelve year old grandsons who love to sew, this machine would be most welcome! We have great times in the sewing room, I believe passing on our love and knowledge of sewing is time well spent.
Thank you for the opportunity and Happy New Year!

Carol Rushing-Carr
Posted at 23:07h, 30 DecemberI would love to own the Passport2 machine for two reasons. I have never owned a Pfaff machine and I know it I would be fabulous. Also, I have had two surgeries this year and would like a lighter weight machine for classes and clubs! Thank you!

I hope you recovered nicely from your surgeries and sorry there could only be one winner.😉

Posted at 23:33h, 30 DecemberDelighted to see you back. A new machine ..what a wonderful way to prepare for retirement. I would enjoy sewing with my new Pfaff. Thanks for the opportunity.
Nancy MacGregor
Posted at 03:36h, 31 DecemberI would love to win the Pfaff sewing machine. I am constantly on the move due to family and business demands which means I seldom have the opportunity to sew cuz my sewing machine is too large to drag around.
A versatile, small, compact sewing machine would suit my sewing needs and fit into my demanding life style,
That’s all for now, Nancy
Renee Wuenstel
Posted at 10:28h, 31 DecemberI would love to win this sewing machine for my sister. Her “ancient” sewing machine is behind repair. She cannot afford to buy a new machine and really misses sewing. This would be a wonderful surprise for her.

Posted at 17:27h, 31 DecemberWelcome back. I felt like I received a belated Christmas gift when I saw your post. And a Merry Christmas to you too! A chance to win a new machine?…and a Pfaff portable machine at that?…….yes, please. I would love to win such a machine because it would be perfect to take to the little sewing/crafting group that I belong to. I think it would also fit the bill to take to each of my daughters’ homes as I teach them to sew….I would absolutely love it. Thank you for all you do to keep us sewing and maintaining this art form.
Happy New Year to you and yours.

Posted at 22:45h, 01 JanuaryI know I missed the deadline and that’s ok – I’m long on machines.
But I REALLY want to know about the wrap dress you’re wearing as you’re pulling the rack of clothes for the Hawaii show. It looks like a DVF throwback – a favorite style that had just come out when I was in college. (yes, revealing my age!) I made several way back then and LOVED them! Will the pattern be in the new book?
Thanks!

Posted at 06:07h, 02 JanuaryAny announcement about the winner of the Pfaff Passport 2? Second, I would like to know the pattern and details for the bold blue dress in the left hand corner before one opens up the Gallery … it has BLOG written upon it. Have not been able to find it in the gallery. Happy sewing in 2019 everyone!
