Hobbymatic

Pfaff of V.'est Germany brings to New Zealand one of the most advanced precision sewing machines in the world, competitively priced from 5399. Well established in the industrial field of sewing machines, the new Pfaff “Hobbymatic” sewing machine has been designed specially for the domestic market. All models in this range have been well proven and tested in West Germany before arriving in New Zealand. Available from The House of Sewing, 29 Main South Road, 378 Worcester Street and 299 S'elwyn Street, Christchurch, the Pfaff “Hobbymatic” range can be purchased at a low price but with the same high quality as nay of the top model machines. There are three models, the 800, the 803 and the 807 — from $399. The Hobbymatics have the same rotary shuttle as an industrial sewing machine and it is jam proof. The machine has colour code stitches and this makes it very easy to operate. All thicknesses of fabric can be sewn without tension adjustment. At seven kilograms, it is a truly portable, lightweight machine

and comes complete with a carrycase and all the necessary accessories. An important feature of these machines is that the design can be upgraded as the beginner progresses to more complicated sewing. This “unitised” sewing machine can be upgraded at a later date by simply unscrewing one unit and replacing it with another to become a more sophisticated model. There is a 25 year guarantee against faulty parts or workmanship. All the staff at the House of Sewing have been fully trained to assist a customer in purchasing a sewing machine of his choice, and customers are welcome to call in any time for assistance after they have purchased a they have purchased a e sewing machine.
