Lockstitch comparison
MAQI LS3820DP vs MAQI Q6Ls THE-MAX: 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 Q6Ls THE-MAX
MAQI's Q6Ls THE-MAX is the large-sewing-space model in MAQI's THE-MAX line, built for bulkier work under the arm — dual-blade smart thread cutting with an ultra-short thread tail, and a sensorless, easy-lift knee support.
