A single needle lock stitch machine is called a plain needle sewing machine. A single needle lock
stitch machine is mostly used as an industrial sewing machine. Modern single needle lockstitch has
a thread trimmer that operates at the highest speed of its kind. Lockstitch machine is the most
commonly used sewing machine in the apparel industry, especially in woven garments.

300. But it cannot produce all the stitches of this class. This machine is widely used in theapparel
industry. This is the only machine by which an entire garment can be stitched.

distance between the two stitch lines depends upon the distance between the two needles on the
needle bar which can be adjusted.

stitching the inseam of trousers. It also sews box pockets on safari jackets, light jeans and pajamas
and Suitable for sewing Shirts, Uniforms, Jeans and Women Underwear.

FEED OF THE ARM MACHINE MACHINE
APPLICATIONS:
Side seam
under arm
The feed of the arm machine is actually a chain stitch machine for chain stitch designs working
with sewing and stitch. It contains a looper instead of a bobbin. By this machine, a multi-thread
chain stitch can be produced on garments. With this machine, stitch can be produced on heavy
fabrics, like denim or jeans; it has the opportunity of stitching by folding the fabrics.
Different sizes of needle and thread dresses should be used in this machine depending on the
thickness of fabric, for light thickness fabrics needle size should be lower and for heavy thickness
fabric, a higher needle size should be used.
FEATURES:
A multi-thread chain can be formed by this machine.
It has the opportunity of stitching by folding the fabrics.
The needle thread is interconnected with looper thread.
Its appearance is different on the face and back side.
Adjustable sewing machine sew and stitch.
Sewing machine needle sizes should be well
fitted.

The simplest buttonholes are used on shirts, blouses, and other lightweight garments.
The complex buttonholes are preferred for all tailored garments such as jackets, overcoats,
etc.
Based on the principle of a lock stitch or chain stitch.
Chain stitched -good appearance and less durability.
Lock stitch -increased life and less attractive appearance than the chain stitch.

• Checking garments
– Checking is done for garment detailing, such as care labelling, and trims.
• Button attach and Butting holing
– Products those have trimming like button, snap button, eyelets are attached
• Removing stains
– Spots are removed using a hand spot gun or by using a stain removing machine prior to pressing.
• Repair work and mending
– All repair activities are done in finishing itself instead of sending defective garments to stitching
• Ironing garments
– This is done to remove creases in the garment
• Folding and tagging
– Pressed garments are folded in a specified dimension, price tags and hang tags are attached to the
