No, you can't get this for any machine as it's built into the Pfaff machine itself.

I love my Pfaff! The IDT (even feed) is super!! :)

I got a chuckle out of your post! I should have been reading this blog years ago, because every time I got a new machine, my thinking was, in those days, "Why do I need more than one machine?", and over the years I have given away some great machines, like an old 1950's Singer, and a Simplicity that had the very best zig zag I have ever used. This blog has enlightened me greatly - I should have kept them all for my "collection"- LOL!

When purchasing my Pfaff QE 4.0, I was so impressed with the number of feet available. My dealer has a wall of additional Pfaff feet and she jokingly said, "I think Bernina and Pfaff are having a contest to see how many feet they can put out". I am one happy camper (for instance, they have 3 variations of the 1/4" foot available), so I will be having fun collecting feet when I have extra $$ to buy them, one by one.

I have a Bernina 820 with this feature and use it exclusively. It is easy to flip on and never misses a stitch. The old-styled walking foot (albeit tricky to attach) is good but these IDTs is a joy to have and sews through any thickness of fabrics.

When I was researching machines and first saw IDT, I thought some one was being kind in calling me an idot. :roll: Well some times when it comes to new things I can be.
I have a Jamone 6600 with IDT and I love it. I used to have a Pfaff, but then it was called dual feed dogs so when it died I wanted another machine with the IDT feature.

I really like my Pfaff's with IDT. It certainly helps to feed the fabrics evenly, even slippery fabrics.

The new Janome 7700 comes with IDT now also, but the Pfaff Expressions 4.0 comes with some very nice features. You can set the machine to stop with the needle down, but the pressure foot lifts just a little so you can pivot your fabric (great for applique) and tap the foot pedal and the foot goes back down and keeps on sewing. Gotta love all the new technology. The Pfaff Expressions 2.0 and 3.0 are both being discontinued, and the new models coming out to replace them both have a smaller throat are. So If you want a larger throat size, you better buy now. Auntie B

I love my Pfaff quilt expression 4.0 for the same reason. I used to sew on my grandmother's old Bernina. But when I visited my cousin I worked on her Pfaff and fell in love with several features - the IDT being one of them. It makes accurate sewing so much easier. And it can be used with many different sewing feet - that's a big advantage as well.

I also used the IDT to sew together and quilt my corduroy bed throw, sometimes it went a bit hard over the thick seams but it worked.

I always thought the IDT - which Pfaff calls 'dual feed' in all its promotional and sewing machine manuals - meant Integrated Dual Technology.

Anyway, when you view the video you see that little black thing behind the foot on the machine. You can see it grabs the material just like having a set of feed dogs on the top of the material Thus, you have an even feed when that IDT - or black thingy - is in place. If the sewer doesn't want that then it is just lifted out of the way.

It makes sewing much easier for the person using the machine. It also is a much desired assist for those with any hand or finger handicap.

I love mine. I don't think I'd be sewing as much without it.

ok saw the video I still don't get it?

I get it now ty

My next machine will have one, I hope.

I just bought a Pfaff and have the IDT foot on it, just love it!

Ditto!:)

I am with you, I have had 3 Pfaff's and would not sew on anything else. Good machines! Not only are the other manufacturer's big and bulky but they are expensive as well. Jan
