Product features
Simple - Fast - Efficient
The designed workstation 550-8-3 is characterised by high performance and comfortable operation. Equipped with a puller top feed, an edge guide and a specially shaped table top, it offers simplified handling combined with optimum sewing results. The puller feed of the double-chainstitch works absolutely synchronously with the bottom feed, even at high sewing speeds. In addition, it can be differentiated from the bottom feed via an adjusting wheel, so that smooth seams are achieved even with fabrics that are difficult to process. The edge guide facilitates positioning and guiding of the sewing material and thus ensures first-class processing quality with high performance.
