Product features
The special sewing machines for universal use
The top-class high-speed seamers of the 272 series convince of the advantages related to a flexible use, the perfect seam quality and its reliable performance. The state-of-the-art sewing kinematics produces excellent stitch formation even in very fine and extremely lightweight materials. Consistently perfect stitch formation is guaranteed even at maximum speed, with minimum thread tension and lowest thread stress. By means of the thread nipper the needle thread is pulled to the reverse side of the fabric at the seam beginning. This guarantees an always neat seam beginning.
