Maier 221 Blind Stitch Hemmer/Hemming Industrial Sewing Machine

Made in Germany

The Maier 221 Blind Stitch Hemmer is a specialized industrial sewing machine designed for creating almost invisible hems, commonly used in professional garment production. It is widely used in the textile and clothing industries, particularly for hemming trousers, skirts, curtains, and other fabrics where a clean, professional finish is essential.

• Key Features of the Maier 221 Blind Stitch Hemmer:

Blind Hem Stitch:

• This machine creates a nearly invisible stitch on the right side of the fabric, making it ideal for formal wear and drapery where visible stitches are undesirable.

Single Thread Chain Stitch:

• Utilizes a single-thread chain stitch, reducing thread consumption while still providing durability and flexibility in the seam.

Adjustable Stitch Depth and Penetration:

• The depth of the stitch is adjustable, allowing the operator to control how much of the stitch shows on the fabric's front side. This is essential for working with various fabric thicknesses and types.

Fabric Compatibility:

• The Maier 221 can handle a wide range of materials from lightweight fabrics (like silk or cotton) to heavier textiles (like wool or synthetics), making it versatile for many sewing projects.

Speed and Efficiency:

• Built for industrial use, the machine operates at high speeds, providing efficient and consistent results, making it suitable for mass production environments.

Built-in Fabric Guide:

• Equipped with a fabric guide to ensure consistent placement of the hem and to help the operator keep the fabric aligned during sewing.

Durability:

• Like most industrial machines, the Maier 221 is constructed for longevity, capable of handling continuous and demanding usage.

Typical Uses:

• Hemming Trousers, Skirts, and Sleeves: Creates professional-grade blind hems.
• Drapery and Curtain Work: Ideal for hemming curtains or drapery where visible stitches would detract from the look.
• Knits and Stretch Fabrics: The chain stitch can handle stretch in fabrics without breaking.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regular Oiling: Keep the machine well-oiled, especially if it is in constant use, to ensure smooth operation.
• Needle and Thread Check: Regularly check the needle condition and thread tension to avoid skipped stitches or uneven results.
• Timing Adjustments: Ensure the timing between the needle and the looper is correct to prevent stitch irregularities.
