German but they have English  option. Some decent videos for pattern layout, cutting and sewing. Videos are in German but you can activate English subtitles, very easy to follow.

The one I bought, I've cut it out but not sewn it yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFECGCjjS1s

I had a look at this site and the video tutorial for the hoodie, during which the demonstrator referred to using a Pfaff and "the upper transport facility" being very  useful.
Excuse my ignorance but what is the "upper transport facility"?

I bought and printed the PDF for the Lynn hoodie. I haven't looked at the details yet but I'll let you know how I get on when I get around to it. I might try to chop the hood off and just do a loose stand-up collar instead. I love that there's a little video that goes with it. All the info you need to make it for Є2.99. Can't be bad.

Hi-

Living in Germany, i have become a bit of a fan from Pattydo. What i enjoy is that their patterns come with tutorials which are clear and helpful.

Good question!  0_0  You'll find it much more commonly referred to as the IDT (Integrated Dual Transportation) so much clearer!   :[ ><

You'll hear us Pfaff owners always nodding in harmony saying how great it is. It serves the same function as a walking foot but the IDT design allows you to engage it with lots of other specialist feet at the same time and in addition, because it doesn't take up so much space it's more nimble in use. I think the other reason we love it so much is because it's on the vast majority of their models, not just limited to the big ticket models as with the other brands now able to copy it since its patent has expired. That may have been the case when it was first launched in 1968 but certainly not for many years.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

Happy to buy two patterns on spec at this price. Went for a basic cowl neck top that I think all 3 generations of us will probably like and a freestyle hoodie for my DGS plus a free lined shopper pattern with front pocket and zipped pouch option.

Thank you @Sewbusy   :thumbsup:

I've bought two and took the free shopping bag pattern, it's lined with a pocket option plus a front zipped pouch. Nice enough to save me drawing out my own.
