BLIND STITCH MACHINES

Hemming Machine for Home and Industrial Use – What Is It For?

Hemming machines are specialized sewing machines with a wide range of applications. They are used to create blindstitch hems, either single-sided or double-sided, also known as single-thread chain stitch, which is either single-sided or double-sided invisible. These machines are commonly used in the production of various types of clothing, such as pant legs, jacket sleeves, shirts, as well as skirts and dresses. By using a hemming machine, the stitch remains invisible on the outer side of the garment. A distinctive feature of these machines is their specially curved needles, which allow for the creation of blindstitches. Hemming machines are highly durable and reliable industrial machines.

How to Choose the Right Hemming Machine?

Choosing a hemming machine should primarily depend on the types of tasks you plan to perform with it. If the machine will be used in a sewing workshop or tailoring shop, it should be specialized for hemming specific garment elements and types of fabrics. Different machines may be used for hemming pant legs, sleeves, and reinforcing other garment parts with tapes, while others might be better suited for hemming belt loops on formal wear. The construction of hemming machines also varies depending on the materials they can handle—light, medium, or heavier fabrics—although there are machines that can work with fabrics of varying thicknesses.

The machine’s equipment is also crucial. Modern hemming machines come with electronic pullers that help pull the fabric through under the presser foot. Additionally, some models include special stations for applying tapes, as well as the ability to connect to an external steam or compressed air source. Our product range includes hemming machines ideal for sewing small items like hats and gloves, as well as for hemming formal wear. We offer well-known brands such as JAPSEW and MAIER.

Maier Hemming Machines

Maier hemming machines allow you to sew blindstitches that are either single-sided or double-sided, meaning that the stitch is not visible from one or both sides. They are primarily used for sewing garment elements; you can easily handle pant legs, sleeves, as well as skirts and dresses. If you want to focus on specific types of hemming, you should choose a Maier hemming machine based on the garment element you will be working on and the thickness of the material. Different applications will require slightly different machine designs. Their equipment is also important. Some Maier hemming machine models feature electronic pullers or tape applying mechanisms.

Maier hemming machines are equipped with an interval mechanism that allows for adjustable stitch skipping, with options such as 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3, with the latter available upon request. You can choose between short-arm and long-arm machines. There are machines that sew with double-sided or single-sided blindstitches. You can hem materials ranging from thin to medium and even thick fabrics. These are single-thread machines equipped with a clutch motor, with a maximum speed of 2500-3000 stitches per minute. The stitch length can be adjusted between 3-8 mm. The machines have a small-diameter cylindrical bed, which allows for stitching elements with a small circumference. They are equipped with kickers that prevent stitch penetration when sewing over cross seams. The machines may also include automatic presser foot lifting, thread trimming, and an EFKA electronic mini motor. Our offer also includes automated hemming machines and other useful accessories for sewing machines.
