Technical specifications

Materials and products

• Clothing: shirts, blouses, trousers.
• Workwear and general garment making in medium fabric.
• Sportswear in woven fabrics.

Which workshop it is for

The basic machine in any garment workshop: one needle, straight stitch, bottom feed and high speed. It does the bulk of the seams in clothing, workwear and general garment making on light and medium material, and it is where automatic functions make the most difference, because every second saved is multiplied by thousands of seams a day.

Alternatives in the catalogue

If you are comparing, this is the other machine in the same family: Dürkopp Adler 261-140342-01. They share the same approach and differ in equipment, number of needles or duty cycle, so it is best to decide by the specific operation you will repeat every day. The full catalogue is in industrial sewing machines.

When should you choose this machine?

• Compared with other lockstitch flatbeds (Dürkopp Adler 261): same operation; equipment and price differ.
• Bottom feed versus compound feed (DA 867): if you sew several layers, foam, canvas or thick leather, the top layers lag behind with bottom feed; that is where you need compound feed.

Frequently asked questions

Which needle does it use?

System DB×1. It comes with a no. 14 as standard; the size is matched to the fabric and the thread.

Is it suitable for leather?

For thin leather in a few layers, yes. For thick leather or several layers you need compound feed: bottom feed only moves the bottom layer and the top ones lag behind.

What do I gain from the automatic thread trimmer?

Seconds per seam, which add up to quite a lot over a working day. And above all consistency: the backtack comes out the same whoever does it.

What maintenance does it need?

Lubrication as the manual says, a new needle before it gets blunt and regular checks of the needle-hook relationship. Most stitch faults are avoided there.
