Consider this approach to tie your digital data to sales.
Digital measurement has come a long way, from the earliest site counters to sophisticated multi-channel analytics tools; and from measuring simple page views to tracking event/engagement conversions. For today's digital marketers, measuring "conversions" seems to be the end game. It's like we've finally found the Holy Grail of digital measurement and now everything that we do is to "optimize conversions."
But we forget that the true indication of marketing success is the increase of sales/leads. Hence, the next phase of digital measurement should move beyond conversions by tying it to sales.
The Digital Data Silo
However, linking digital data to sales is no small feat due to the challenges below:
Let's examine the first challenge. Most marketing departments probably utilize web analytics tools like Omniture, Google Analytics, Webtrends, etc. to measure digital conversion. But the sales data usually sit in internal business intelligence tools like Cognos, Business Objects, Teradata, etc. Trying to match datasets across different tools is no doubt a hassle for many marketers.
But if we tried to integrate the datasets, we have to decide, is it easier to bring digital conversion data internally or take sales data and import it to the digital analytics tools? If the marketing team decides to bring the digital data internal, then they'd have to request the help of the business intelligence, or God forbid... the ever-helpful IT team. If marketers decide to take the sales data external, then we run into an integration issue, because sales and digital clickstream datasets do not have a single primary key linking them together. No matter which way, it's a fairly technical problem that I'm sure no marketer would ever want to deal with.
The Solution: Baby Steps
In order for us to move to true digital marketing accountability, integrating digital and sales datasets is inevitable. There are certainly some challenging technical issues at hand, but we do not have to tackle them all at once. Instead, we could take baby steps and conduct integration with the resources that we have on hand. Below is an integration road map that we can follow:
Obviously, the more data sources that we have to integrate, the more technically challenging it's going to be. So if we focused only on a few key initiatives at first, we can start the integration process with simple tools that we're all used to as marketers. For example, if we wanted to integrate the consumers who registered on our website to consumers in our sales database, then we can manually use Excel to complete the task. Moving up on the data sources ladder, if we wanted to attribute the internal leads data to a particular digital media channel, we can use the integration tool kits from Omniture or Webtrends. These tools allow marketers to import sales/leads data from Excel or through their API. Lastly, if your organization and marketing place a very strong focus on marketing attribution and data integration, then a full-scale marketing data integration project would have to take place. The implementation would probably take more than a year and would span across multiple departments.
Digital is a fast-changing world, with new tactics and channels emerging rapidly. Without tying our measurements to the bottom line, marketers have no clue which new tactics or channels are effective. Hence, as digital marketers we all need to get a little more technical and push the measurement beyond conversions.

U.S. aviation shutdown likely through August: LaHood
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Only congressional action can end a partial shutdown of U.S. federal aviation programs that has suspended hundreds of airport construction projects, but that is unlikely with both chambers out until next month, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said on Wednesday.
LaHood dashed the long-shot possibility raised by one lawmaker that the fight over funding for the Federal Aviation Administration could be resolved later in the week under a congressional procedure that does not require lawmakers to cast votes in person. The step, called unanimous consent, would be rare with Congress out of town.
"(It's) not a possibility because we were told the Speaker of the House would not allow to happen and you'd have to have unanimous consent in both houses," LaHood said on C-SPAN.
The FAA has issued stop-work orders for 241 airport construction projects worth nearly $11 billion in the shutdown, which entered its 12th day on Wednesday.
Nearly 4,000 FAA employees have been furloughed and the Obama administration has said the suspension threatens 70,000 jobs related to construction.
Disagreement over proposed cuts to rural air service and a simmering argument over a labor issue prevented the Senate from acting on Tuesday on a temporary FAA funding extension before lawmakers left for their August recess.
LaHood said only an act of Congress would end the shutdown and he would spend August working to persuade lawmakers to pass an extension immediately when they return in early September.

Congratulations, Employees of the Semester
June 3, 2014
Don Kent
The Rewards and Recognition Committee recognizes a staff member each semester who has demonstrated exemplary performance based on A-B Tech Community College's Values. The committee selected Don Kent, Coordinator of Moves & Set-Ups as the current recipient.
During his many years of selfless service to A-B Tech, Don has always done an excellent job, whether that is building set-ups, tackling maintenance problems, or problem-solving in a collaborative manner on "how to" accomplish a goal. His work never fails to meet other's requests. He is a pleasure to work with
Just when you think something "can't be done", in comes Don Kent, with his quiet and unassuming manner to say, "Well, yeah, we can do that." And then, magically, he and his staff make it happen! No request has ever been too small or too large for Don; he always found a way. He always delivers
So many, many times over the years of working collaboratively with Don, he always found a better way to do whatever it was that needed being done here at A-B Tech. He is knowledgeable, helpful and professional. Don is loyal to A-B Tech and we are grateful to him for his many, many years of service. Congratulations on your many successes, Don!
Laura Moffitt
The Rewards and Recognition Committee recognizes a faculty member each semester who has demonstrated exemplary performance based on A-B Tech Community College's Values. The committee selected Laura Moffitt, Instructor within the Basic Skills Program as the current recipient.
In addition to teaching ACA 115, Laura works in the Basic Skills department. She has been straddling these two positions for close to ten years. It is clear her heart is set on the enrichment and success of all her students. One activity she carries out is collecting hand-written letters from her students to themselves, written at the beginning of the semester and addressing why they want to stay in school. She then pays for the postage to send those letters out at the end of the semester. When the students receive them at their home, it is a reminder that they are committed to self-betterment and hard work.
Laura holds regular hours in the Adjunct Faculty Center and she helps the staff of the Center with any administrative odds and ends, and is, in general, positive, upbeat, and genuinely concerned about her students and colleagues. She listens compassionately to others, and she always offers a positive thought or uplifting joke. On more than one occasion, Laura has stepped in to cover the Center when the rest of us are out at lunch, a meeting, or even just to the restroom. Laura jumps right in with coaching a student, or helping an adjunct with a question.
Laura regularly participates in professional development in both instructional methods and educational technology. Her love of learning is omnipresent, and it's clear she cares about her personal success at her job. Congratulations on your many successes, Laura!

A few weeks ago I literally skipped into The Savoy. I then glided into the Abraham Lincoln room upon a cloud of immaculate manners and excellent service. I then ran to the front row and sat as near to the edge of my seat as possible with a big stupid grin on my face. It was Arnie Day.
In his latest movie, Sabotage (read my review), Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Breacher – the leader of a highly trained DEA unit who specialise in entering and clearing hostile environments. When, during a cartel bust, $10,000,000 goes missing, Breacher and his team find themselves under investigation from Internal Affairs; and under threat from someone who is gruesomely bumping them off one by one.
To promote the UK release of Sabotage, the motherflipping Austrian Oak, Arnold Schwarzenegger himself was coming to town and I was in the front row to listen to him talk to the assembled press about… pfft, anything. I didn't care – I was going to get to see Arnie!
Even the appearance of "comedian" Keith Lemon as a guest moderator couldn't spoil the day, although he did manage to waste some precious Arnold time. I just pretended he wasn't there, and have done the same, where possible, here. You're welcome. Let's Arnold.
What was it like working with David Ayer?
I think he's very talented. I think, if you see training Day – you can see he's a fantastic writer, and when you see his directing – in End of Watch – you can tell that he likes action. He likes realism. He brings as much reality to the screen as possible. It's a totally different movie from a typical Hollywood action film. It's about payback time. If you take something from a drug cartel, they will pay you back, and this is what this movie is about: a battle between good and evil, but in the end, you also see good crossing the line.
David did a great job. What I did like was his insistence on us training with the Los Angeles SWAT team, so that when we got to the set we could act out those characters really well and know how to handle the weapons. Not that I haven't already handled a lot of weapons in my life! But SWAT handle their weapons in a different way. And the way they breach doors, the way they storm buildings, the way they come through buildings without killing the good guys and getting the bad guys… You have to learn that, you have to study that. It's like a ballet, the way they move – that's what made it really interesting for us, his insistence for us to train with them and get on the set very well prepared.
What is it like to play a dark character?
I play a good character.
But, I mean…
He deviates from his mission. He has to wipe out the cartel and the drugs, but he starts looking for revenge because they tortured and killed his family. So now he crosses the line. He becomes kind of like a flawed hero.
What's it like playing someone like that, then going home and being normal after you've been shooting people point blank?
You mean as the character, to go home? Or as Arnold?
As Arnold.
The character that I play does not go home and turn off. The character is twenty-four hours a day consumed by the fact that his family was killed by a drug cartel. All he knows now is revenge. He blames his fellow officers that were with him for that, he blames the cartel for that: he blames everyone.
But, as Arnold, when I go home I don't think about the movie anymore. I just go and have my work out every night, have dinner, rehearse for the next day… It is all business during the time of shooting.
In recent films of yours, like Last Stand and Sabotage, we've seen a different side of you. Your characters have been more vulnerable and aggressive. Is that something you're actively seeking out, and something you're looking to add to your classic roles when you revisit them, like as Conan and the Terminator?
No. I do not have a master plan. "Here's what I wanna do now". I think it has to do with hitting a certain age. Especially after coming out of a government job, you see that the world is a lot more complex. Therefore you start getting attracted to characters that are written more complex and multi-dimensional. So I'm attracted to those kind of characters now, whereas twenty years ago, I may not have been attracted to that same script. I think that, the whole world, twenty years ago, it was not so intense, the drug war. I, as Governor, dealt with the drug issue in California, in real life, so that story was appealing to me.
The next movie, for instance, Terminator, that I did not plan either. It's just that they bought the rights that were available and came to me. I felt very honoured because I did not want to be replaced in the movie. So I was honoured that they got me back in the movie – I love that character, playing a machine. At the same time Universal Studios is coming to me and saying "we want you to play Conan", so I thought "this is really great. To go back to these old, original characters that actually made my career!" But, again, it is not a plan. I did try to do more Conan movies, but the people who owned the rights… I didn't want to do the movies with! Right? I didn't want to do a Conan movie that was like a half-assed movie. I wanted a Conan movie with a great budget behind it, with a great director behind it, because then it can be a successful movie.
Then they're talking to me about Kinderga… err… Twins. Wanting to do Triplets. Again, this is something that I've chased for twenty years, but there you have it right? At first they're like "there is no sequel, there's no sequel, there's no sequel", then all of a sudden they call me and say "remember how you always talked about a sequel? I think it could be great!" But it is a different studio now, a different executive now. It is a new generation. The old guard is gone. There are new people in there. So this is the way it happens. I do one project at a time. I don't really have a theme or a plan. Some ideas work, some don't work, but I believe very strongly in those characters in those films.
There's a great scene, early on in the film, of you in the gym, working out: classic Arnold stuff. For people that see the film, and see you doing those exercises, the lat pull down, the one arm dumbbell row, the pullover… Could you recommend some extra exercises that people could add to those in the film, to build a workout out of it?
Well if you do pull down's that a back exercise, if you do rowing it's a back exercise… what else?
Yeah. Pullover, which is a chest exercise, the key thing is that you train the whole body. But that scene was not a documentary about my workout, right?! You didn't see me squat, and then do the calf raises, the abdominal work: the sit ups, the leg raises, the shoulder exercises, the bicep exercises, the tricep exercises… they left all of this out, because if you really want to train, you should do the total body. You should go from one exercise to the next without stopping – that way you do the muscle training and the cardiovascular training together.
You are working with an amazing team in this movie, with a helluva lot of muscles? Who do you think is the most kickass of your co-stars?
You know, it's very hard to say… because, in their own ways, they were all very tough guys. I mean, David Ayer, I think, wanted to know ahead of time if those guys were the real thing. So it's not someone acting ballsy, or it's not like a director having the luxury of saying "OK we're going to start shooting in a year. I like this actor here. He doesn't look yet the part, but by the time I'm through with him and the personal trainer and the training with the SWAT team, he's gonna look the part." It was none of that. He picked really very, very tough guys. And all of them, they all went through martial arts training; all put on the headgear, even the girls. They put on the headgear and were pounded away on, kicked, and everything like that. Because you don't want them to come to the set and baby themselves – you want them to go all out and really be thrown around, and do as many of the different stunts as possible.
When anyone says they do all their own stunts, that's nonsense. Because the fact of the matter is no production will want an actor to do even some high jumps, where they could twist an ankle or something – nothing major, but it will take you out of the movie. It will shut down the movie. So they don't like it if you get injured. I get injured on every movie. Usually smaller things, like banging my head on a camera or something like that, then you get stitched up quickly and come right back and continue shooting. You're able to do that because the visual effects guys will wipe out, you know, the stitches. But if you have a broken leg, or a torn shoulders – then you have to shut down.
So we had all really physically tough guys. For instance, Joe Manganiello: he's a football player, he has been working out, he has been doing martial arts, he's doing cross training and all those things. So he's the real deal, he's fantastic! He lifts a lot of heavy weights and he can take a lot of punishment, and he can give a lot of punishment!
Sam Worthington. He worked like a mad man for this! You know how he gets into the character; he's that kind of a guy. He's terrific! He was willing to put the hours in at the gym, the hours into the martial arts and the weapons training, and all that.
I had a great time working with those guys. It felt like I was thrown back to the Predator days! When I was with this ensemble cast and surrounded by…
Keith Lemon interrupts and tells everyone that his Uncle has a model of the Predator. Fascinating.
I have the original. In my office. I have all the Terminators, a Predator, the alligator from Eraser, the jet from True Lies, all those…
Keith interrupts again and asks how long Arnold trained for.
On Conan, I started a year before. The horse training and sword training. It's one of those things that if you do something casually every day that by the time the film comes around it has become second nature. You don't get anymore the sore wrist from the sword, because the swords are heavy, the fight scenes are relentless and, if you have a director like John Milius, he believes that you should be able to do all of the swords and tricks and stuff. I'd never done any sword work before so… I come from a bodybuilding background, reps, reps, reps, it's all about reps. To me, the more often you practice, rehears, use the weapons, the better you are going to be on screen.
Is that in your contract?
No. Contracts are all bogus anyway. Who pays attention to a contract?! If an actor is contracted to do forty days of work, and then he walks off the set – what are you gonna do?! You can just cry. You can't say "I'm going to punish you" – then they won't perform for the next three days! He's gonna be sick, right? Emotionally sick. Then the shrink comes to the set! Contracts are only for lawyers to have a good time and make their money and stuff.
I don't have it in a contract that I have to go down to New Orleans next week, to practice, to rehearse, to do camera tests with all the wardrobe. There's nothing in my contract for that, but of course I want to go! You want to go. I want the director, Alan Taylor – who is a fantastic director, (Note: THIS IS FOR TERMINATOR GENESIS) I want him to have the ability to make the right choices. "What does this leather jacket look like? What do these combat boots look like? How does he look in this t-shirt? How does he look with this haircut?" All of this. Doing this with the director, working with the stunt coordinator. It's not in your contract, but you do it because common sense tells you this is the right thing to do to make the movie successful.
I interviewed Liam Neeson recently and he claimed that you are fiercely jealous of his status as Hollywood's Reigning Action Star. Is he talking absolute rubbish?
Liam Neeson.
Oh. That I'm jealous of him? No. I'm not jealous of anybody. I love being me. I do admire people. Liam Neeson is one of the people I admire. As much as I admire Sam Worthington and Joe Manganiello. Or Jim Cameron, with his directing ability. I admire people, but I am jealous of nobody.
How is Triplets coming along? How is Eddie Murphy fitting in there with Danny DeVito and yourself?
For Triplets? We've not done any rehearsal, but I've met with him several times. He's very, very funny and he is going to be perfect in Triplets.
The moderator winds everything up.
How did we do? You all have a good day!
Sabotage is released in the UK on the 7th of May. You can read my review here.

Healthy Banana Bread
Provided by: Jennifer Iserloh
150 calories/serving
Here's the Skinny Chef's healthy take on banana bread. It's made with "odds and ends" of cereal.
- non-stick cooking spray
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups mashed banana (about 3 large bananas)
- 1/3 cup low fat (1 percent) buttermilk
- 1/2 cup water or carrot juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup finely crushed high fiber cereal flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 1-pound loaf pan or three mini loaf pans with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer until well combined. Add the egg whites and banana, mixing well after each addition. Add the water or carrot juice and vanilla extract. Beat for 30 seconds on medium speed.
- Sprinkle the flour, crushed cereal (you can achieve a fine grind by using a food processor to grind the cereal), baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir by hand with a wooden spoon until the flour is just incorporated, about 10 turns. Do not over mix.
- Pour into loaf pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the loaf. Remove from the oven and rest in pan for 5 minutes on the counter top. Remove the bread from the pan and place on a wire cooling rack. Once cooled, wrap tightly in wax paper and foil. The texture of the bread becomes moister if left in the fridge overnight or for up to 2 days.

Program on Energy and Sustainable Development Working Paper #56
July 2006
Global warming is one of the most difficult and important challenges facing the international community. To date, the most substantial effort to address this problem is the Kyoto Protocol. Although not adopted by the United States or Australia, this international agreement was adopted and ratified by every other large developed country and entered into force on February 16th, 2005. The Protocol is likely the largest ever international effort to combat a global environmental commons problem.
The Clean Development Mechanism ("CDM") is a market based trading mechanism

Enrico Franzolini began his career as an artist and his work was known for its expression of sculptural elegance and an aesthetic refinement. He exhibited work at the Venice Biennale, as well as other exhibitions and galleries in the 1970s and then turned to design and received a degree in architecture in 1979. Like Vico Magistretti and many other designers in Italy, Franzolini has been active across the spectrum of creative fields from fine art to architecture to the various arts of the craftsman. He uses a variety of materials on both the large and small scale.
Franzolini's work epitomizes the integrity, the technical innovation and the ingenious forms for which Italian design has long been admired. In addition to his pictorial research, he spreads his commitment between architecture and industrial design fields and over the years he has been collaborating with some of the most prestigious companies in the furniture industry such as Cappellini, Foscarini, Knoll International, Moroso, Pallucco.
See other lights/products from Enrico FranzoliniVicente Garcia Jimenez was born in Valencia, Spain in 1978. He graduated with a degree in Industrial Design from Castellon de la Plana and after graduation, moved to Barcelona where he collaborated with Santa & Cole. After developing a need to hone his creative skills, Jimenez went to Udine. There he set up his studio that collaborates with companies developing lighting and furniture.

LAMPS PLUS Blog Policies
For teens headed off to college, one of the first things on your back-to-school list is choosing furniture and accessories. The challenge here is doing something fun and functional with a those teeny-tiny rooms. We found some great tips in this article from the Montreal Gazette titled "Dorm Decorating 101." Here are some more ideas to help you create your dream dorm room!
Multi-purpose pieces are key. This fabulous item, besides being ultra-stylish, can be used as a stool, a desk, a footrest, even a dining table! Not to mention it provides great storage space.
Task lighting will come in handy, and this desk lamp is a great choice. It plays and charges your iPod, too! (here are some more iPod-ready choices)
Want to put a stamp on your cookie-cutter dorm? This throw rug is a great way to add color and personality. It comes is two other colors, too.
Finally, candles add tons of character and good vibes to a room. But, considering most dorms have policies against candles, try these battery-operated flameless candles. Perfect solution! As always, have fun decorating!
Adam is a former copywriter for LampsPlus.com. After working in advertising and entertainment, Adam discovered an interest in lighting and design.

This is the first entry in a series of random articles about some useful internals-to-know of the awesome Oracle Database In-Memory column store. I intend to write about Oracle's IM stuff that's not already covered somewhere else and also about some general CPU topics (that are well covered elsewhere, but not always so well known in the Oracle DBA/developer world).
Here's where I will hang out (and in some cases speak) during the OOW:
Sunday, Sep 28 3:30pm – Moscone South – 310
Despite the title, this is actually a technical post about Oracle, disk I/O and Exadata & Oracle In-Memory Database Option performance. Read on :)
If a car dealer tells you that this fancy new car on display goes 10 times (or 100 or 1000) faster than any of your previous ones, then either the salesman is lying or this new car is doing something radically different from all the old ones. You don't just get orders of magnitude performance improvements by making small changes.
Enkitec folks have been beta testing the Oracle Database 12c In-Memory Option over the past months and recently the Oracle guys interviewed Kerry Osborne, Cary Millsap and me to get our opinions. In short, this thing rocks!
Here's a little known feature of Exadata – you can use a Bloom filter computed from a join column of a table to skip disk I/Os against another table it is joined to. This not the same as the Bloom filtering of the datablock contents in Exadata storage cells, but rather avoiding reading in some storage regions from the disks completely.
Enkitec is the best consulting firm for hands on implementation, running and troubleshooting your Oracle based systems, especially the engineered systems like Exadata. We have a truly awesome group of people here; many are the best in their field (just look at the list!!!).
This is why I am here.
There was an interesting question in Oracle-L about the JOXSHM_EXT_* files in /dev/shm directory on Linux. Basically something like this:
Here are the slides of some of my previous presentations (that I haven't made public yet, other than delivering these at conferences and training sessions):
Scripts and Tools That Make Your Life Easier and Help to Troubleshoot Better:
Troubleshooting Complex Performance Issues – Part1:
Troubleshooting Complex Performance Issues – Part2
On Exadata (or when setting cell_offload_plan_display = always on non-Exadata) you may see the storage() predicate in addition to the usual access() and filter() predicates in an execution plan:
SQL> SELECT * FROM dual WHERE dummy = 'X'; D - X
Check the plan:

Helical Resonator Design for FiltersOne of the most prominent ISM bands (900 MHz) falls squarely in the middle of the region. Thanks to the wireless revolution, there are a plethora of SAW and dielectric filters available for the 840 – 980 MHz band, but that is about it, and they are only rated for relatively low powers (maybe 20 dBm). Helical filters fill that gap nicely, and are a combination of all three formats. Like cavity filters, the Q of the helical resonators is very high if constructed properly. That is because at the frequencies of operation, the skin thickness is getting very small and most of the current is flowing on the surfaces. Plating the cavity walls and helix with a high conductivity material increases the Q even more that bare of tinned copper. Sorry, but I do not have equations for the tuning slug's diameter or how it affects the resonant frequency as it is advanced into the helix. A wag would be that if the outside diameter of the tuning slug is very close to the inside diameter of the helix, then the resonant frequency is modified as if the total height of the helix and shield are shorter than when the tuning slug is fully retracted. The graphs illustrate how the equations are affected when the diameter of the helix, d, is varied. Notice that the wire diameter, g, increases with frequency so that an adjustment of the helix diameter, d, is needed to keep the wire size and space between the turns reasonable. Check this out - someone reference this page on Wikipedia!

I am thinking about buying a new sewing machine as I am not happy with the Baby Lock that I have. Have always loved Janome's but have found a Pfaff that appears to fit the bill but have had no experience with them. I am wondering what you ladies have to say about:#1. Pfaff-Performance 5.0 and #2. Janome-Horizon-Memory Craft 8900QCP. These are the two that have the features that I am interested in. Have any of you knowledge of them and how they preform? |

I have the Janome Horizon 7700 and absolutely love it! The 8900 has all the bells and whistles that mine has plus more so I am sure it is great also. I have had mine for 2 years or so and wouldn't trade it for the world. Jackie |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 14 at 19:43
Disclosure: I am a Pfaff - lover -- right now I own 4 & use them all--including the Performance 5.0. Last fall, I traded in my QE 2048 for the Performance 5.0 & the Passport 2.0 (that was the deal). I like the Passport alot. The Passport is a travel machine ( I took to Retreat) and the Performance 5.0 is the stay at home machine. Do you have a specific question? I will try to answer any questions. I haven't had the machine that long, and I haven't sewn on it as much as I wanted to, but I have had Pfaffs almost all my life ~lol~so I am very familiar with the brand and it's changes. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pfaff Performance 5.0
Marsh, you have given me what I was looking for. I am interested in the Pfaff as my Janome dealer, whom I am very fond of, appears to be slowing down to almost a stop, which makes me uneasy. Beside he is over 35 miles away which makes it somewhat of a problem. My big issue is being able to sew over bulky areas and still have a decent seam and not a break a needle. I am glad it has drop in bobbin as I didn't notice when I looked at the machine. Also I am assuming it is able to thread the needle and wind a bobbin as most machines do now. I do want an extension table as I am used to having one. I have a lg. plex one that I use with my Janome 9000 but not sure it would fix the Pfaff. The Baby Lock has it's own. I intend on getting rid of the Baby Lock while it still has some value or I may give it away. It is only a few years old but I am just not pleased with the way it sews. Thank you all for the input. |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 14 at 21:19
The automatic needle threader is the same as it was 40 years ago - not as automatic or electronic as some are today, but I've never known any different. The bobbins wind on top of the machine - winds a nice tight bobbin - important for good bobbin tension. There are colored bobbins for different types of threads - I only have the clear ones, but I am going to buy some colors! You can also adjust the pressure on the pressure foot. Make sure you get the single needle hole plate. It will sew thru multiple layers easily over flat felled jeans seams - use the right needle size of course. If you get the Performance 5.0 - you can help me learn the fancy stitches!! My dealer is great - she let me exchange my bobbins and feet from the QE 2048 for the newer Performance 5.0 feet and bobbins - the 5.0 is capable of a wider stitch, so some feet needed to be upgraded to the newer size. A good dealer is important. Pfaff is always running special deals, so ask what the dealer is offering. Your dealer may even take the Baby lock in as a trade in. Doesn't hurt to ask. I am anxious to see what you decide to buy! I will sew with the new extension table in the next few days - I have it adjusted to fit the machine, so I am assuming it will be fine. I'll report back if you want me to. |
The video is great. Just what I needed to convince me it is the machine I will get. It will require a learning curve I am sure but I do like the stitching. As I use cones often that may be an issue but I will work it out. Thank you again for the input. |

Nanajayne, I just wanted to wish you luck in your search.... I've never sewn on a Pfaff so can't help (but Marsha already gave you what you wanted lol), but that IDT sure is alluring! Just wanted to share in the excitement of the possibility of a new machine :) It is more fun to get a new machine than a new car! Do you have a separate thread stand for the cones? I bought one just to use for embroidery, but then realized it would also allow me to use cones in the one machine that only has a horizontal spool pin... very handy! That video makes the machine seem amazing, which I'm sure it is... Marsha, please do let us know what you think of the Sew Mate table! I just learned about them yesterday when I searched for a universal extension table... fabric keeps getting snagged on the corner of the one that came with my machine and the idea of being able to use it with multiple brands/machines is great, so I'd love to see what you think when you put it through the paces. |
Well, I did it. After watching the video I was convinced it would be a good machine. Have it unpacked, I am reading the manual and haven't turned it on yet. There is a learning curve to master but I am excited about the new toy. I did buy an extension table but not the one that comes with the machine but a plex one that fits the machine. Couldn't be without a table to work on. I do have a thread stand that I use with my Janome because I use cones most of the time and plan on using it with the new machine. The Baby Lock is waiting to be claimed by my daughter who will use it as a back up machine. |
Congratulations!!! Not many things more exciting than a new sewing machine. |
Woohoo! Have fun with your new toy! |
This year has been a challenge so far so I feel I deserve a treat. Feel sort of foolish buying a new machine at 81 but maybe I will live to be a 100 and really get some use out of it. lol. |
- Posted by vacuumfreak (My Page) on Thu, May 29, 14 at 22:52
No reason to feel foolish... just enjoy your machine! You made a good choice and I really hope you have fun with it and it serves you well! |
Jayne: I bought my new Pfaff last year at 80. And I certainly did not even think " foolish". Theresa |
Jayne, if you want it and can afford it, there's no reason to feel foolish! |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Fri, May 30, 14 at 10:42
Congrats Jayne! I hope you love it!! Isn't she the sleekest, prettiest machine ever??? Foolish?? You are inspiring! I told my DH you were considering buying a new fancy machine like mine - and you were his Mother's age - and he said "Wow! I hope you told her to get it!" When I use the large spools or cones on a thread stand, I found I needed an extra hole - eye to pass the thread thru to put just a tiny bit of tension on the thread. I clipped a Red Clover binding clip on the flip up lid & run the thread thru the hole -- it puts the thread path at the same level as the vertical spool pin. I can't wait for you to learn & share with me! I never went in to the dealer for my free lessons - life thru me a few curve-balls since I bought my machine. I can't wait to see your quilting! There is a learning curve, but you will master it in no time since you are coming from a more advanced machine than I was. Theresa - I remember you shopping for yours! Do you still love yours? |
Jayne, I think it's wonderful that you have bought a new machine. The thought that at 81 you are willing to learn new technologies means you are young at heart as well as in your head. Have a wonderful time with it. Lois |
Fantastic! Hope you have a wonderful time learning all the new features. I love my old Pfaff. I hear we're supposed to continue to learn new things to keep our brains sharp, so you're right on track! Enjoy. |
The Pfaff is great. Love the wider harp. Had a couple of glitches but they have been sorted out. And now that I have figured out the presser foot pressure, finishing quilts is so easy. Have fun Jayne. Us old girls deserve good tools. Theresa |

Congratulations on your new machine! Calendar age is not a factor when you are young quilter at heart....enjoy! V. |
Thank you all for the encouragement. I haven't played with it much as yet because I have to get the room in better order for the summer and have some things to do with the Serger but have gone through the basic. I think I have them figured out. Need to study the folder part a bit more etc.. Thank you for any tips as they will be helpful. I do find it a bit noise compared to the others. Not sure why. |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 14 at 9:40
I jotted down tips and "discoveries", settings, etc as I was getting use to the machine -- I need to get them written legibly --Not on post it notes (I need to be more organized.) I am (hopefully) going to sew on a binding today & I know I have the settings I like written down, but couldn't find yesterday. I think I noticed it being a little nosier as well, but don't even notice it now. I know I had to turn off those beeps that were driving me crazy each time the pressure foot was raised. I also disable the automatic slight raise of the pressure foot when piecing or sewing long pieces. It is great for chain piecing smaller pieces, but for long continuous sewing I want the needle & pressure foot down when I pause. Pfaff has an accessories catalog online now -- fun to look at and see how all the feet work. Also make sure your software is the most recent. I had to update mine right after I got it. |
Thank you for the tips. I would like to store stitch settings in the folder but haven't figured out how to retrieve them yet. lol I plan on getting the foot that she demonstrated to do bindings and stitch in the ditch. Will be interested in hearing about your experience. |
