Perfect transport
Triple feed - suitable for any fabric thickness bottom feed, needle feed and alternating foot-top feed

With the triple feed and available sewing attachments, you can easily sew light chinos/light fabrics and heavy jeans or work trousers.
Excellent climbing qualities

Especially when topstitching the side seam, you will come across dividing seams such as the pocket opening and yoke. This is where the switchable 2nd presser foot stroke is invaluable for convincing quality.
Optimal shape
Support table with edge guide for efficient working without previous marking for seam lengths up to 200 mm

When designing the machine, special attention was paid to the ergonomic handling of the operator.The result is a sewing support element that is perfectly suited for this operation.Loading and correct positioning of the fabric could not be easier.
Easy conversion
