Description
Production-focused lockstitch sewing with automatic finishing built in. The Reliable 5525SD pairs a high-speed single-needle drop-feed head with Dual Direct Drive technology, an automatic thread trimmer, automatic backtacking, programmable controls, needle positioning and automatic foot lift. It is designed to reduce handling time and deliver consistent results on light- to medium-weight materials.
Who It’s For
- Apparel shops, alteration departments, drapery workrooms and production makers who repeat straight-stitch operations throughout the day
- Operators who need automatic thread trimming, backtacking and foot lift to shorten each sewing cycle
- Teams that want programmable speed and stitch controls with a beltless direct-drive system
Why It Stands Out
- Automatic thread trimming: cuts thread at the end of the cycle to reduce manual finishing.
- Automatic backtacking and foot lift: streamlines common start-and-stop production steps.
- Programmable control panel: supports stitch-length programming, stitch limiting, slow start and speed control.
- Dual Direct Drive: beltless motor technology gives responsive speed control and efficient power transfer.
- Needle positioning and index stitching: improve control for pivots, corners and one-stitch adjustments.
- Complete workstation: includes stand, tabletop and UberLight Flex sewing light.
