Description
The Reliable 8100BS is a direct-drive industrial button sewing machine for fast, repeatable attachment of 2-hole and 4-hole buttons. Programmable speed and selectable 8-, 16-, or 32-stitch cycles help apparel factories, dry cleaners, laundries, and alteration departments standardize button work while the integrated direct drive delivers precise, quieter control.
Who It’s For
- Apparel production rooms attaching 2-hole and 4-hole buttons
- Dry cleaners, laundries, and alteration shops that need consistent button repairs
- Workrooms that benefit from programmable stitch counts and automatic thread trimming
Why It Stands Out
- Quick change between 2-hole and 4-hole button patterns
- Select 8, 16, or 32 stitches per cycle
- Built-in automatic thread trimmer
- Integrated direct-drive motor with programmable speed
- Delivered as a complete, assembled, tested, and sewn-off workstation
