Effortlessly thread the machine loopers with the push of a lever! Get started with 20 complimentary accessories listed in What's Included below.
The PFAFF® admire™ air 5000 is a highly advanced engineering achievement in home serging technology. Built to handle heavy workloads while maintaining absolute thread consistency, this premium overlock machine completely eliminates the traditional, tedious learning curves associated with multi-thread finishing.
At the center of its effortless setup is the Pressurized Air-Threading Looper System. Instead of using long tweezers and following complex manual threading charts, you simply guide the thread into the looper ports and press a single lever. High-velocity air currents instantly shoot your threads straight through both loopers in a fraction of a second. Running on a heavy-duty internal frame, the admire air 5000 allows garment designers and crafters to finish edges with true industrial structural integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the air threading system require a special type of thread? No. The admire air 5000 is engineered to handle all standard high-quality polyester serger thread cones. It can also clear highly elastic wooly nylon threads easily through the loops, making it incredibly simple to create soft, flexible flatlocks for sportswear linings.
How does the 2-thread converter work? The machine includes a built-in two-thread converter auxiliary clip. When swung into position over the upper looper, it allows you to sew delicate, lightweight 2-thread edge finishes and ultra-fine rolled hems without needing thread in the upper looper channel.
Can this machine sew heavy fabrics like denim or canvas? Yes. The machine features an electronic motor and heavy-duty internal frame design that delivers continuous needle penetration power. Combined with the adjustable differential feed, it moves through multiple layers of heavy coatings and thick intersecting seams smoothly without stalling or breaking needles.
