The machine is manufactured in the same way as the larger models, with metal components and moving parts assembled in a metal housing. The machine produces a single thread chainstitch, which on the outside of the fabric appears to be hidden. The blindstitch depth is easily adjusted, via the control dial, to suit many types and weights of fabrics.
