A lockstitch is the most

common mechanical
stitch made by a sewing
machine.
The lockstitch uses two
threads, an upper and a
lower. Lockstitch is so
named because the two
threads, upper and
lower, "lock" (entwine)
together in the hole in
the fabric which they
pass through.

To make one stitch, the machine

lowers the threaded needle through
the cloth into the bobbin area,
where a rotating hook (or other
hooking mechanism) catches the
upper thread at the point just after
it goes through the needle.
The hook mechanism carries the
upper thread entirely around the
bobbin case, so that it has made one
wrap of the bobbin thread.
The take-up arm then pulls the
excess upper thread (from the
bobbin area) back to the top,
forming the lockstitch. Then the
feed dogs pull the material along one
stitch length, and the cycle repeats.

 There

are two types

of lockstitch
machines based on
the number of
sewing needles and
bobbins present,
they are:
SNLS or Single Needle
Lockstitch Machine
DNLS or Double
Needle Lockstitch
Machine

double needle lockstitch machine

works on the same principle as the
SNLS machine while using two
needles and two bobbins thus
resulting in two parallel rows of
lockstitch.
The distance between the two stitch
lines depends upon the distance
between the two needles on the
needle bar which can be adjusted.

When the stitch forms correctly equal amounts

of bobbin and needle thread are used. Upper and
lower threads interlock in the centre of the
fabric.
It is a poor choice in areas that must stretch, it
has the least amount of elongation potential.
hence inappropriate to attach elastic or to sow
knit fabrics or bias seams.

 Have

more downtime
since they operate
with a limited thread
supply from bobbins
which must be
replaced as they run
out.
The tightness of the
interlocking stitch
maybe a problem for
operators when ripping
is needed.

 It

belongs to special interlock

sewing machine for heavy duty
garment seaming, such as pants,
jeans, work uniform and leisure
clothes.
It is recommended for stitching
overalls uniforms, jeans and
decorative sewing on bags since it
features synchronized feeding of
needle bar and feed dog.
They are applicable to the
ornamental seam of garments like
jeans, skirts, overcoats and
uniforms and the edge-pressing
sewing.

Compact wiper

Lockstitch machines are versatile and can be

used for a variety of operations
Compare to all other stitch types, this class uses
the least amount of thread and produces the
flattest stitch.
it is reversible
The double needle lockstitch is the tightest and
most secure stitch.
It is the only stitch formation that can be
backstitched if the ends need to be secured.
It is non-ravelling.
Good hand
Lies flat on the fabric

 When

one of the needle bars is stopped, it is

held in place with added stability.
The machine is able to run at the highest
rpm even when only one needle is in
operation (the other needle bar is held idle).
This feature totally eliminates a
fundamental problem of 2-needle bar
lockstitch machines, which is how to hold
either needle bar securely in an idle state.

Corner-teaching function

To start corner sewing, the operator need only press

the right or left stop switch. Then, the machine
automatically counts the number of stitches. This allows
the operator to concentrate on material handling.
Upon completion of corner sewing, the one-needle stop
state is automatically reset.
Press the left-needle stop switch at
point A to stop the left needle.
2. Perform sewing with the left needle
bar held idle until point B is reached.
(The number of stitches is
automatically stored in the memory)
3. At point C, the left needle, which
has been held in an idle state, is
automatically released.
