Overview

Look sharp, the Airflow 3000 will blow anything you’ve made before out of the water. Achieve the finest of finishes on knits, stretchy materials, sheer fabrics and even Lycra.

Electronic air threader - simply insert your thread into the threading holes and ‘whoosh’ our air system guides it through the loopers for you.

Stitch choice – choose between 4 thread overlock, 3 thread overlock narrow, 3 thread overlock wide, flat lock 2 thread, flat lock 3 thread, pin tuck, blind hem, rolled hem, narrow hem and lettuce edge.  

Stitch quality – stitch at speeds of up to 1,300spm! Use the dials to adjust stitch length and width as needed.

Differential feed – with a differential feed ratio of 0.7 to 2mm you’ll get an outstanding stitch finish, no matter what fabric you’re working on.

Instant rolled hem – quick-change levers will give you an instant rolled hem. Perfect for light and sheer fabrics. Choose between straight and wavy rolled hem.

Avoid annoying clogs – smooth air technology keeps everything moving, so there’s no lint or fluff build up.

Safety first - cover open? Raised presser foot? The machine won’t start! As an extra precaution, the safety sensor deactivates the cutting knife immediately, keeping you safe and protecting the loopers.

Extra value – the Airflow 3000 comes with trim trap, blind stitch foot, gathering foot and piping foot.
