888-M ECO / CLASSIC
Single or twin needle lockstitch post-bed machines with DA Direct Drive for footwear production.
Designed around footwear production
The 888-M generation combines a robust post-bed design with precise stitch formation and flexible equipment options. Its wheel feed, needle feed and driven roller presser move different material thicknesses evenly and help maintain a consistent seam.
ECO versions focus on essential mechanical functions. CLASSIC equipment adds automatic functions, an integrated keypad and, depending on the subclass, automatic backtacking, presser-foot lift and thread trimming.
One platform for different sewing tasks
Single needle
For joining, assembly and decorative seams, zipper insertion and top stitching.
Twin needle
For parallel decorative and assembly seams with stable stitch length over thick spots.
Disconnectable needles
Left and right needle bars can be disconnected independently for clean decorative corners.
Precise seams on shaped footwear parts
Specialized operations

French binding
Optional parts kits adapt the machine for binding and reinforcement tape operations.
