Lockstitch comparison
MAQI LS202Ft 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 garments, wovens.

MAQI LS202Ft
MAQI's LS202Ft is an electronic (computerized) top-and-bottom-feed lockstitch machine with a large hook and hand wheel and a round-knife thread trimmer, built for heavier feed work than a standard lockstitch head.

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.
