Description
Ricoma’s KS-8700B high-speed flat-bed lockstitch sewing machine with a built-in direct-drive motor is ideal for sewing together light to medium garments like denim, cloth, knitted materials, and much more. The KS-8700B’s quiet and energy-efficient direct-drive motor can be used at any time of the day without bothering others and will save you money on electricity. And because the motor is inside the machine, you won’t have to manually install a motor and belt, reducing your set-up time. Along with its built-in motor, the KS-8700B’s rotary hook and advanced noise decreasing device also contribute to the machines’ quietness because it reduces vibrations, allowing for a smoother and quieter operation. Another fantastic feature of this machine is its high sewing speeds. With a top speed of 5,000 stitches per minute, you’ll finish projects quickly and faster than your competitors. When it comes to sewing, the KS-8700B has an adjustable stitch length between 1 mm to 5 mm, so you can switch between shorter and stronger seams to longer and looser seams, depending on the project and material. And its drop-feed mechanism and three rows of feed dogs allow you to feed fabric easily and evenly under the needle to control the stitch’s direction and length. Lastly, the KS-8700B’s automatic oiling system ensures the machine is always lubricated, ensuring that maintenance is always mess-free.

Smooth And Quiet Operation
The KS-8700B has many features that help it stay quiet while you operate it. The machine’s rotary hook and built-in direct-drive motor help reduce vibration, so you don’t have to worry about stitch errors due to the machine moving from the vibrations. The lower vibrations from those features and the noise decreasing device also make the KS-8700B quieter than other machines, so you can use it anytime without the noise bothering others.
Adjustable Stitch Length
With the KS-8700B, you can adjust your stitch length between 1 and 5 mm. Being able to adjust your stitch length means you can switch between shorter and stronger seams to longer and looser seams, depending on what material and item you are sewing. Although you may want looser seams when sewing shirts so you can adjust the size, when sewing leather boots, you’ll want stronger, shorter seams to hold together the leather pieces.
Fast Speeds
This high-speed lockstitch sewing machine is one of the fastest on the market, with a top speed of 5,000 stitches per minute. High speeds like these mean you can finish projects quickly and faster than your competitors. You can even increase your production efficiency by creating more products with the time you save from the other projects.
With the KS-8700B, You Can Sew...
Shirts
T-shirts, dress shirts, polos, and more can be sewn together with the KS-8700B. With its super-fast speeds and useful features, you can create many garments in a shorter period of time for friends, family, or customers. The adjustable stitch length also allows you to sew longer and looser seams so you can adjust the size of the shirt as needed.
Pants
Whether you want to make custom pants for a special outfit or for a costume, the KS-8700B can handle it. You can even use this machine to adjust the hems of long pants for yourself, friends, family, or customers.
Denim
While other sewing machines may struggle to sew a material like denim, the KS-8700B goes above and beyond to give you high-quality stitching on this material. The machine helps you easily create denim jackets, denim pants, denim shorts, and more with features like an adjustable stitch length and backtacking functions.

With the KS-8700B, you can make a unique custom dress for a wedding, prom, or other formal events. Made-to-order dresses make those special moments even more magical, and the KS-8700B has all the features you’ll need to create these dresses quickly and efficiently.
