Machine types

You know what you make. We know which machine makes it.

Every family of industrial machine below is defined by the seam or the job it does on a production floor, not by its model number. Find the work you run at volume, then open the machines that do it.

What each machine actually does

Start with the seam, not the model number

You know your product. You should not have to learn our vocabulary to buy from us. Each family below is described by the job it does at production volume. Find the work you run, then open the machines that do it.

Lockstitch

The main straight seam on most garments. Runs all day, across light and heavy fabric.

Overlock & finishing

Closes the seam and finishes the edge so it will not fray. 3, 4 and 5 thread.
