Lockstitch comparison
MAQI LS 202DP vs MAQI Q5Tt: 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 garments.

MAQI LS 202DP
MAQI's LS 202DP is a direct-drive lockstitch machine with a large hook built for heavier material, a simple integrated control box, a built-in work light and a built-in bobbin winder.
