Sewing machine PFAFF 1245

Used to produce prototypes and mock-ups of membrane structures. The machine is used for PVC coated polyester fabrics but it can be easily adapted to medium-heavy materials such as leather.

Features:

  • High traction due to unison feet
  • Even feed motion without any ply-shift of individual layers
  • Large vertical rotary hook with 60% more bobbin thread capacity than other standard-sized hooks
  • Rugged and durable
  • Easy to service
  • Easy loading and unloading – even of bulky material – due to a high fabric clearance of 14 mm

  • Automatic hook lubrication; Efficient hook protection against thread jamming due to standard built-in overload coupling (M)
  • The high top feed lift (7 mm) allows trouble-free sewing of thick materials and an easy sewing over cross seams
