PFAFF’s accessory catalogue separates bobbins by reference and machine group. Violet bobbins 821147096 are listed for creative icon 2, creative icon and performance icon.
Grey bobbins 820921096 carry group J, while clear bobbins 821038096 carry group K in the catalogue. Colour or a shared brand cannot establish a substitute.
Keep the group letter with the reference
When comparing an accessory list, record both the part number and the group notation. The letter is a compatibility grouping, not a pack size or a thread colour. If your machine is absent from the selected product’s list, resolve that before buying.

An IDT foot needs its own instructions
PFAFF’s Clear Open Toe Foot for IDT is reference 820916096. Its instructions call for attaching the foot, engaging IDT and then selecting the intended decorative or satin stitch. The open front helps you see the stitching area; it does not establish fit for every PFAFF model.
Check the catalogue by reference
Use the catalogue to distinguish similarly named feet and bobbin packs, then open the manufacturer page for its machine list. The bobbin and presser foot remain separate mechanical decisions.
