Stitch pattern selectors
Stitch pattern selectors are used on machines to select the
type of stitch to be sewn.
There are 2 main types, these are by a cam change system
(disks) or by gearbox selector.
Standard Industrial machines usually sew one stitch
type, ie. straight stitch or zigzag etc. In the case of pattern stitching
machines (including zigzag), straight stitch can also be sewn by moving the
stitch width dial to 0. There are a
number of these machines that we can supply.
We can add a special gearbox to many zigzag
machines to enable a variety of stitch patterns. This is especially useful for
sailmakers who like to use both standard zigzag and 3 step (6 point) or 2 step
(4 point) zigzag.
Straight / zigzag / 4 point / 6 point
However, we know that sail makers often require both 6 point
(3 step) or 4 point (2 step) and zig zag sewing on the same machine, for this we
can offer the ZZ1000 gearbox.
