The Alfa Practik 5 is perfect if you are just beginning in the thrilling world of sewing. This is a robust and very stable machine that you can do all sorts of tasks with: sew denim, put on zippers, decorate your leather garments, etc. What is more, this machine is very practical because it includes an automatic threader and the possibility of making buttonholes in just one step (and they are all identical and perfect!). It also has an LED stitch viewer so you can easily see which stitch you have selected. Below, you can find details on its features and videos on how to use it.
If you would like to go one step further, we recommend the Alfa Practik 7 or the Alfa Practik 9, and if you would rather take a step back, then the Alfa Style 20 is your machine.

You are almost ready to get your Alfa machine, but you still have a few questions that need answering. We will try to provide a response to your concerns:
Will I know how to use it?
We are very familiar with this feeling. In our "I Want to Sew" section and in leading sewing blogs, you can find tutorials that will help you to better understand your machine. If you would like to delve into the world of sewing, you can contact our partner academies and enjoy your Alfa to its full potential. What's more, we are always in motion and organise weekly workshops in different locations, attend DIY fairs, and organise events at haute couture centres.
Will it last many years?
Over the past 100 years in history, four generations have now sewn with an Alfa. Today, we are proud to walk hand-in-hand with our customers advise them whenever they need us. Regarding old Alfa machines, for example, we strive to provide replacements. Moreover, in this section, we have over 200 old (and modern) machine manuals that we have collected, because many of you have inherited an Alfa and are still sewing with it. The truth is, there are beautiful stories behind every Alfa, and we love it when you share them with us by email and on social media.
If it breaks down, what should I do?
