Free Motion Modes
All the stitches on your machine can be sewn in free-motion to create fantastic effects. For all free-motion sewing the Feed Dogs will lower automatically and the fabric must be moved manually. Select between three different free-motion modes: Dynamic Spring Foot 6D Free-Motion, Spring Foot Free-Motion, Sensormatic Free-Motion. These three settings offer unparalleled versatility for quilters and sewists who love to express their creativity. They allow you to effortlessly switch between techniques like stippling, thread painting, and intricate free-motion embroidery. Whether you're using a standard presser foot or specialized free-motion accessories, the machine adjusts seamlessly to provide smooth, even stitches while you guide the fabric in any direction.
Original IDT™
The Performance Icon features the renowned Original IDT™ System (Integrated Dual Feed), a hallmark of Pfaff machines. This advanced system ensures even fabric feeding from both the top and bottom, delivering impeccable stitch quality on all fabric types. Whether working with delicate silks, slippery synthetics, or thick layers like denim and quilting fabrics, the IDT™ System maintains consistent fabric movement, preventing shifting and puckering. Integrated directly into the machine, it can be engaged or disengaged as needed, making it a versatile and essential tool for every sewing enthusiast.
Telescopic Thread Stand
Use a wide variety of thread spools or cones with perfect results with the telescopic thread guide and reworked thread paths
Knee Lifter
The ergonomic knee-lifter raises the presser foot with comfort and easy movement, allowing you to keep your hands on your project.
Needle Threader
The automatic needle threader on the Icon simplifies setup by effortlessly threading the needle with precision, saving you time and effort.
Top Loading Bobbin
The Performance Icon features a top-loading bobbin for easy threading and sensors to alert you when the thread is low, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted sewing.
ActivStitch™ Technology
ActivStitch™ Technology, backed by three groundbreaking patents, delivers exceptional precision and stunning results, even with challenging novelty threads like metallics. Its advanced sensors continuously measure fabric thickness, automatically fine-tuning thread tension to achieve the perfect balance between the needle and bobbin threads. The outcome? Impeccable stitches that are flawlessly beautiful on both sides of your fabric, elevating every project to perfection.
Stitch Repeat
The Stitch Repeat feature on the PFAFF® Performance Icon™ sewing machine offers two versatile options: the Patchwork Program and the Single Stitch Program. With the Patchwork Program, you can sew a seam and have the machine remember the exact length, allowing you to repeat it flawlessly as many times as needed—perfect for quilting projects. The Single Stitch Program enables you to set a specific number of stitch or sequence repetitions, giving you full control over your design. Whether you’re crafting intricate patterns or maintaining consistent stitch lengths, these programs make precision and creativity effortless.
LED Lights
The Performance Icon is equipped with state-of-the-art LED lighting, providing unparalleled visibility for your sewing projects. This advanced lighting system ensures even, shadow-free illumination across your entire workspace, making it easy to see every detail of your fabric and stitches. Whether you're working with dark materials, intricate patterns, or precision seams, the bright, natural light enhances accuracy and reduces eye strain, even during extended sewing sessions. Designed to mimic daylight, the LED lights not only elevate your sewing experience but also create a professional-grade environment right in your own home.
Storage & Free Arm
The Performance Icon combines convenience and functionality with its built-in accessory tray, providing ample storage for your essential sewing tools and accessories. This thoughtfully designed tray keeps everything organized and within easy reach, so you can focus on your creative projects, and when you need to sew cylindrical items like pants, cuffs, or sleeves, remove the accessory tray to reveal the free arm. The free arm's streamlined design makes it easy to maneuver fabric in tight spaces, ensuring precise and professional results. With this dual-purpose feature, the Performance Icon is ready to handle both intricate details and everyday sewing tasks with ease.
Exclusive Stitch Techniques

The Performance Icon introduces Floating Stitches, a revolutionary way to add dimension and texture to your designs without thread connections between stitch points. Radiant Stitches create stunning, multi-directional patterns that radiate outward, perfect for eye-catching embellishments.
