Lockstitch comparison
MAQI LS3820DP vs MAQI Q2Pro: 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 LS3820DP
MAQI lists the LS3820DP under its Lockstitch series, but its own product page names it a "direct drive chain stitch sewing machine" with a curved-needle construction and a puller/feed panel — closer to a chainstitch/blind-stitch head than a standard lockstitch. Confirm the exact stitch type with a specialist before ordering.

MAQI Q2Pro
MAQI's Q2Pro is a direct-drive computerized lockstitch machine with automatic thread trimming — a round-knife trimmer, one-key needle-position compensation with an integrated work light, an LCD control display, and a wide 90–280V operating-voltage range for unstable power supplies.
