Versatile single or double chainstitch machines
Class 175, a double chainstitch machine equipped with differential foot top feed and bottom feed, is particularly suitable for pre-assembly and assembly seams, e.g. seams inlining with / without piping, sleeve-, back-center seams as well as side and shoulder seams. Whether smooth seams or seams with partial fullness in the upper fabric layer, this machine has no limits.
The 176, a double chainstitch machine equipped with differential bottom feed, is particularly suitable for seams with partial fullness in the lower fabric layer, e.g. for taping operations and attaching waistbands in transport-critical materials.
The 179, a single thread chainstitch machine with differential foot-top feed can be used in jacket, blazer and coats productions, operations such as basting of collars, edges, hem, collar peak and collar break, pocket openings etc. simple andconvenient. If necessary, a partial fullness can be incorporated in the upper fabric layer.

175-141621 - Conversion to two-needle machine
175 - Easy conversion to two-needle machine, needle distances up to 15mm
With the conversion set 175-590074, a simple conversion from single-needle to two-needle is possible. Needle distances up to 15mm can be converted.
Application example: Attaching endless zippers onto fly pieces – therefore the sewing head, which has been converted into a two-needle machine, is equipped with a needle distance of 5 mm.
