New PFAFF Talk Blog & Creative 2144 Tutorial CD Download 4 messages

Hello all, I have created a new blog called PFAFF Talk (not related to the old pfaff-talk.com/net site). In it I will cover PFAFF models from approximately 1983-2005 (Creative 1469-2170 models). The blog will feature the history of the company and its various models produced, scans of old PFAFF Club magazines/advertisements/manuals, VHS rips of old instructional videos, how-to service/repair articles, and more. There will be a lot of content related to our 2140/2144/2170 machines, especially regarding the history and repair/modification of these unique machines. You can view the new blog at pfaff-talk.net. I am also asking anyone who used to work for PFAFF, or owned a shop, if they can kindly help me put together a timeline of when different models were released and discontinued between 1983 and to the mid-late 2000s. There does not seem to be a database anywhere online for all of the models released, or when they were produced; so I am hoping to achieve this to preserve PFAFF history. Finally, as a small holiday gift to everyone, I have uploaded a seemingly rare Creative 2144 interactive tutorial, which was originally released on CD in 2004. I am not sure if this came with the machine or not (I am guessing it did?), but the copy I have is the only one I've ever come across. The file is kind of large (562 MB), but it is very useful, perhaps even for the more experienced users here. To use the tutorial, simply extract the contents of the ZIP file to any folder on your hard drive, and click Pfaff.exe to begin the experience. I tried to upload to the files section here, but it was too large. Instead, you can download it here. Happy Holidays! -Pfaff Pfantom
