Lockstitch comparison
MAQI Q7Ls 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 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.

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.
