Product features
With a generous 750 mm of free space under the arm and powerful unison-feed that provides a maximum stitch length of 10 mm, the machine delivers outstanding productivity when sewing heavy materials such as tents and sheets.
The machine head structure is designed to improve operability

Safety device protects the needle and hook from damage
If the thread gets caught in the hook, the safety device is automatically actuated, preventing possible hook damage. Pressing the reset button will immediately return the machine to the normal state.

Basic performance
Consistent seam quality
With its unison feed mechanism that ensures a smooth and steady feed of materials, the machine provides consistent seam quality with no material slippage. Eleven different kinds of needle gauges are prepared for the LG-158. The most suitable gauge for the current machine use can easily be selected.

The frequency of bobbin thread replacement is reduced
Since the machine incorporates a vertical-axis large hook, the frequency of bobbin thread replacement is reduced, further increasing efficiency.
