Lockstitch comparison
JACK H7 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.
JACK H7
Jack’s current top-feed heavy-duty lockstitch, replacing the older H5/H6 — pierces 10+ layers of leather with a fully digital, 16-level presser foot lift.
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.
