In addition to the cylindrical arm, this machine has a compound feed walking foot. This mechanism makes sewing thick items or multiple layers of fabric effortless by allowing the needle to move in unison with the feed dogs to grip the material and pull it evenly through the machine. This feature makes the KS-335A perfect for sewing multiple layers because it prevents the layers from shifting and creating distorted stitches or puckering.

This machine has a presser foot height of 13 mm and a walking foot, both of which allow you to sew bulky items. When it comes to stitching, it has an adjustable stitch length between 1 and 6.5 mm and a reverse stitching feature so you can back-stitch and secure your seams.

The iKonix Walking Foot Flat-Bed Industrial Sewing Machine is ideal for sewing thick items like leather, canvas and bags.

This machine has a high presser foot height of 15 mm along with a walking foot to help you sew thick fabrics and bulky bags. The KS-0303 also has an adjustable stitch length that can be as long as 9 mm, which allows you to change the length depending on the item you are sewing.

iKonix Double-Needle Industrial Sewing Machine - KS-820

The iKonix Double-Needle Industrial Sewing Machine is similar to the post-bed machines mentioned above, except it has two needles instead of one. Because it has two needles, the KS-820 can create two rows of parallel stitches without having to run the fabric through the machine twice.

Having two needles will allow you to finish projects faster and give them a professional finish. Leather goods like wallets, shoes and belts look even better with the two parallel stitches from this machine.

Some lockstitch machines can also sew zigzag stitches because they are created the same way straight stitches are, so they have very similar mechanics. The zigzag machine Ricoma offers is the FY457-125L ,which is also known as Yamata High-Speed Zigzag Industrial Sewing Machine.

Zigzag stitches are great for fixing tears, hemming, attaching fabrics, enclosing fabric edges and creating decorative stitching. These stitches are also useful for sewing stretchy fabrics because they won’t cause puckering like straight stitches. This machine can easily sew zigzag stitches for any application.

Zigzag Lockstitch Machines - The FY457-125L

The FY457-125L has a maximum speed of 5,000 stitches per minute. You can also adjust the stitch length and width without affecting the speed. Another stitching feature of this machine is the reverse stitching lever on the side that allows you to back-stitch when you pull on it.

Lastly, but not least, this Yamata zigzag machine has an automatic lubrication system that ensures your machine will always run smoothly.

Overlock machines, are used to sew over the edge of one or multiple pieces of fabric to create a hem, seam or clean edge. This stitch is done by using multiple looper threads from thread cones on top of the machine (rather than a bobbin) and passing the threads over the raw edges of the fabric over and over to keep them in one clean seam.

The greatest advantage of on overlock machine is that it sews, hems and cuts the excess fabric in just one step to create a clean finish. With other machines, these are all separate steps in the process, but an overlock machine can accomplish all of these tasks at once.

They are especially useful when sewing stretchy fabrics like those used for t-shirts, sweaters or undergarments because overlock stitches have no problem stretching and moving with the fabric.

If you plan to create a wide variety of sewn items out of stretch and non-stretch fabrics and you want them to have a clean, professional finish, an overlock machine is the way to go.

Ricoma sells a few overlock machines ranging from 3-thread to 5-thread machines, as they need multiple looping threads to create secure stitches. Here’s a brief overview of each of them.

Yamata High-Speed Four-Thread Industrial Sewing Machine - FY747A

It comes with an internal motor and doesn’t require a specialized sewing table, so you can use it anywhere.

Chainstitches are created by looping thread back in on itself over and over again, resulting in a stitch that looks a lot like a chain. Because a chain stitch loops in on itself, chainstitch machines do not require bobbin thread to sew, which makes operating them very simple. Chainstitches are most often used to create decorative seams on pant and shirt hems, as well as on bedding and leather goods.

If you are looking for a machine that can help you add flair to garments, then a chainstitch machine is right for you.

This saves you a lot of time compared to other sewing machines because you don’t have to run the fabric through the machine twice just to sew another row of chain stitches.

Bar tack stitches are used to reinforce areas of major stress on a garment using a series of tight-knit zigzag stitches. Bar tacks are most often used on buttonholes, belt loops, the bottom of zippers, pocket openings and the tops of pleats.

If you plan on making pants, jeans, suits, uniforms or any formal wear that has a lot of stiff, high-stress areas, a bar tack machine is a must-have to ensure your garments are sturdy, durable and high-quality.

A coverstitch is a very common stitch used in industrial sewing, especially to finish hems or add a trim to stretchy garments. This stitch is often used to finish necklines and hems on t-shirts, sweaters, bathing suits, sportswear and any other garments made from stretchy fabrics like fleece, spandex or lycra.

Coverstitches look like two parallel rows of straight stitches on the top side of the fabric and an overlock stitch on the inside of the garment, which is why only machines with two needles or more can create this stitch. You can see it for yourself if you are wearing a t-shirt, as the neckline is almost certainly made by joining two pieces of fabric with a coverstitch.

Yamata High-Speed Coverstitch Industrial Sewing Machine - FY2500-01CB

The FY2500-01CB is Ricoma’s light-to-medium weight industrial coverstitch machine. In addition to sewing impeccable coverstitches, this machine can also be used to sew on lace trims to stretchy fabrics or intimate wear to add extra details that will make your garments stand out.

Another great feature of this machine is that it has an adjustable differential feed. This means you can adjust the speed at which you feed your fabric through the machine’s feed dog, which is the mechanism under your sewing machine foot that moves your fabric forward as you sew. This is a useful and unique feature not found on many other machines. The adjustable differential feed can help you create ruffles by slowing down your feed, or ensure that there is no puckering in your fabric by speeding up your feed.

A blindstitch is created when you join two pieces of fabric in a way where the thread doesn't show on the top or outer side of the fabric. This is done by the needle picking up as little fabric as possible on every pass to limit how much thread shows through the fabric.

A blindstitch is often used when you do not want a seam to show on your garment, like when sewing a hem. Because you can barely see blindstitches, they give a professional look to clothing when used to finish off the hem of dresses, skirts, pants, shirt cuffs and more. They can also be used to give intimate garments a cleaner finish and to join pockets, trims and other clothing accents seamlessly.
