Lockstitch comparison
JACK H5K vs MAQI Q7T: which lockstitch machine should you buy?
A side-by-side look at two lockstitch machines from our catalog: the specifications each one lists, where they differ, and which kind of production each suits. Both are used for wovens, garments.

JACK H5K
Side-cutter synchronous heavy-duty lockstitch with a separated cutter for a neat cutting edge and strong durability.

MAQI Q7T
MAQI's Q7T is an electronically controlled lockstitch machine built around quiet operation — silent electronic backtack, double-knife thread trimming that leaves a short thread end, and a closed automatic oil-pan lubrication system that keeps the machine and fabric free of oil stains.
