Created with rug makers in mind, this sewing machine has been built to perform at an industrial level with easy-to-use controls. Heavy fabrics won't be a problem, thanks to the machine's heavy-duty steel construction; and the high-torque motor can drive through thick piles and many layers of material without ever stalling. The walking presser foot and adjustable pressure help ensure smooth feeding of materials with very poor texture.
In addition, the versatile needle system can accommodate both standard carpet needles as well as leather needles. The machine has a very wide throat area which allows for easier movement when making larger rugs, mats, and sections. This machine has multiple stitch types including straight, zigzag, backstitches, and other very limited decorator-motivated stitches, as well as an adjustable stitch length to create a precise hem and to add additional reinforcements.
Included with the machine are many standard accessories, as well as optional carpet-specific presser feet, such as binding feet, edge finishers, and tufting guides. The machine has a very simple maintenance schedule including an easily visible bobbin winding area as well as easy access to the feed dogs. This machine is great for hobbyists or studio-based businesses, or for commercial rug shops, that are looking for long-lasting, dependable performance.
