Description
The Reliable 3100IC is a direct-drive cylinder-bed coverstitch machine built for professional knit hemming, cover seaming, and tubular garment work. Run two or three needles, tune the differential feed for stretch fabrics, and work around cuffs, sleeves, necklines, and other closed shapes with the narrow cylinder bed. A no-stain seal, automatic lubrication, easy looper access, and material-release mechanism support clean, efficient production.
Who It’s For
- Apparel makers producing knit hems, activewear, sportswear, and stretch garments
- Production rooms that need two- or three-needle coverstitch and cover-seaming flexibility
- Operators sewing cuffs, sleeves, necklines, and tubular components on a cylinder bed
Why It Stands Out
- Two- or three-needle coverstitch configuration
- Cylinder bed for tubular and hard-to-reach garment areas
- Differential feed adjustable for stretchy knit fabrics
- No-stain seal helps keep oil away from fabric
- Integrated direct drive with speed control, needle positioning, and slow start
- Delivered assembled, tested, and sewn off with industrial stand and UberLight Flex
