Lockstitch comparison
MAQI Q5Tt vs MAQI Q7Ls: 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 Q5Tt
MAQI's Q5Tt is a two-motor ("two-drive") step-motor smart sewing machine with 0.1mm-precision electronic needle-pitch control and nine built-in stitch patterns. MAQI states a wide material range — from light gauze and stockings up to thick stacked material (quoted as up to 120+ layers of A4 paper or 16 layers of denim).

MAQI Q7Ls
MAQI's Q7Ls is a two-step-motor lockstitch machine from MAQI's large-sewing-space "THE-MAX" line — stepper-driven double-knife thread cutting that leaves a roughly 3mm thread tail, a sensorless easy-lift knee support, closed automatic lubrication, and optional nest-free (basting-free) technology.
