With the high-speed sewing machine 271-140442 an optically neat seam beginning is no longer a problem. By means of the new electromagnetic thread nipper the sewing thread is pulled to the underside of the fabric which guarantees an always neat seam beginning. The newly designed head cover allows a trouble-free aligning of the most different sewing feet without having to disassemble the head cover. The standard stitch regulator lever guarantees maximum flexibility. No oil stains on the material due to the oil-free sewing point, even in case of delicate fabrics. The integrated sewing drive enables a smooth and quiet running of the machine as well as a sensitive operation, especially when sewing "stitch in stitch".
