Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or expert sewer, a good sewing machine motor is absolutely essential in order to get the best possible results out of your industrial sewing machine. Offering power, speed, control, energy efficiency and more, the Techsew 550 servo motor is perfect for any type of sewing project.

The Most Powerful on the Market
The Techsew 550 is perfect for projects involving thick leather and multiple layers of material. While most servo motors available are 400W to 500W, the Techsew 550 offers 3/4HP and 550 Watts which means more punching power for the needle and better looking stitches.

Complete Control of Stitching Speed
For projects requiring more precision and less speed, the Techsew 550 features 12 different speed settings between 0 and 3450RPM, allowing you to slow down your machine and sew stitch by stitch. This is also ideal for beginners who may be more comfortable with a sewing machine that walks instead of runs.

The Sound of Silence
One of the best benefits of the Techsew 550 is that when idle, the motor is completely silent. No loud humming, no powerful vibrations and best of all, no headaches!

The Machine of the Month for April is the Techsew 2971 leather patcher.

Stronger Than Ever

Based on the design of the most popular patcher machine ever built, the Techsew 2971 has been internally re-designed and built to last longer and sew stronger than ever. This machine is meant for production and repair of shoes & boots, sewing patches onto leather and other general leatherwork up to 1/4″ thickness.

By Hand or By Foot

The Techsew 2971 allows you to sew either by hand using the handwheel which can be affixed to the front or side of the machine, or by foot when set up with an industrial sewing machine table & motor (offered separately).

360 Degree Versatility

Featuring a 360 degree rotating presser foot, you can easily control the direction of your stitching without turning your work.

This machine also features a 12.5″ cylinder bed which gives you plenty of space to sew big, bulky and cylinder shaped items. The Techsew 2971 uses the popular 135X17 needle system and can handle threads up to size 69 and needles up to #21.
