Whether you are seeking a sewing machine for a small space or one perfectly designed for travel and classes, this is it. With best-in-class features and reliable stitch results, the PFAFF Passport 2.0 sewing machine will exceed your expectations for a lightweight, compact sewing machine.
It weighs just 6.3kg and includes built-in pedal and cord storage. Setup is straightforward thanks to a top-loading bobbin, built-in needle threader and a clear LED-lit workspace. With Electronic Needle Piercing Power, you can enjoy full piercing power at any speed with total control.
The standout feature is the Original IDT System, which feeds fabric evenly from both the top and bottom. The machine offers 70 built-in 7mm stitches, including utility, decorative, quilting and satin stitches, plus one-step buttonholes. With 29 needle positions, you get real precision for topstitching, zips and edge work.
Adjustable presser foot pressure adapts to different fabric weights, while constant needle piercing power keeps stitches consistent at any speed. The speed control slider and start/stop button let you sew at your own pace, with or without the foot pedal.
For free-motion sewing, simply attach the optional free-motion presser foot and lower the feed dogs for easy quilting.
The PFAFF Passport 2.0 is a dependable travel companion for sewers who want full features in a compact machine.

Our standard width fabric can be cut as a Fat Quarter, measuring 50cm x 1/2 the width of the bolt. Above is an example of how your fabric will be received, depending on the quantity ordered.
We also offer a sample service, where you can order 1 single fat quarter of any standard width fabric, to have at home and compare colours. When you are finished, you can send them back to us for a refund (feel free to contact us for more information on this service).
Our fabric can be cut as a Long Quarter, measuring a minimum of 25cm x width of bolt. We will supply the fabric as a continuous length (eg; if you bought 1.25m it will be sent as one piece of fabric).
