Foot for smooth and comfortable sewing

• Rolled hem stitch performance

As the tip is wider and the stitches can be guided properly, it enables stable and beautiful rolled hem stitch.

• Stopper

The added stopper, which reduces presser foot tilting, works effectively for thicker fabrics.

• Needle drop position guide

The extended needle drop position guide improves visibility, allowing for more comfortable sewing.

• Foot structure

①Gentle curve at the tip of the presser foot ensures smooth bi-level sewing and an easy start.
②Grooves under the foot help prevent fabric slippage.

Needle UP stop

The needle automatically stops in the up position when sewing is stopped.
This allows fabric to be inserted and removed more easily, making the start and end of sewing smoother and more convenient.

Presser foot lifter safety device

If the presser foot is raised before start sewing, the machine alerts you with an electronic sound and will not begin sewing for safety.

To deactivate or activate the upper knife

When sewing without cutting the fabric, simply turn the upper knife release. The SewSwitch 40 is equipped with the same knob as the Sailing Line series.

Lower Looper Threader

Many users find lower looper threading difficult, so the SewSwitch 40 is equipped with the same mechanism as the Sailing Line series.
Threading is easier than with conventional models, helping improve efficiency.

Hva er forskjellen på denne overlockmaskinen og vanlige ordinære overlockmaskiner? 

Den store forskjellen er antall tråder i overlocksømmen, der vanlige maskiner har 4 (2 over- og 2 undertråder) har SewSwitch bare 2 tråder, 1 over og 1 under. Det gjør at du får en tynnere overlocksøm enn den brede overlocksømmen man vanligvis er vant med. Noen vanlige overlockmaskiner kan også sy med bare 2 tråder, men det vanlige er 4.
