SewingGold GC-1341 – (Juki LS-1341 clone)

SewingGold GC-1341, compound feed, walking foot, cylinder sewing machine

Features

• The GC-1341 offers a consistent stitching pitch and outstanding ability to sew sharp curves. This makes the machine ideal for the sewing of tubular articles
• Sewing capabilities and feed performance that respond to a broad range of uses in the sewing of heavy materials
• With its larger needle bar stroke, larger lift of the presser foot, and newly adopted double-tension mechanism, the machine sews beautifully with thick threads (low count thread) and at higher thread tensions. This allows the machine to sew a broad range of heavy materials
• The newly developed mode of highly rigid rectangular feed guarantees outstanding feed performance
• In addition, the ratio between the alternating vertical movements of the walking foot and presser foot remains unchanged even when the material thickness changes. With this feature, the machine sews multi-layered parts of the material consistently and without stitch gathering
• Excellent for sewing of sharp curves
• The slimmed-down throat plate easily responds to the sewing of small tubular articles with diameters as small as 40mm
• This enhances the machine's ability to smoothly sew not only bags and shoes, but also small articles such as wallets
• In addition to the standard type machine, a machine provided with a gauge for small articles is available. (LS-1342, LS-1342-7)
• Excellent operability and maintainability
• The underside of the top end of the cylinder-bed is provided with an easy to remove cover. This promises easy cleaning of thread wastes
• The stitch length can be easily selected by the stitch dial.
• The machine's enhanced operability features include a clear view of the area around the needle, placement of the bobbin thread winder on the front face of the machine arm, and a large hand wheel(φ160mm).
• A knee-lifter mechanism is built in the bed. This reduces the pressure required to operate the knee-lifter and facilitates setup.
• The machine’s full-open-type top design makes adjusting works easier.
• The machine comes with a lubricating mechanism that uses a centralized oil wick. This substantially reduces the time and trouble required for oiling the machine. (The hook needs manual oiling with an oiler.)
• A walking foot mechanism is built into the machine arm to prevent oil from scattering

*The machine is equipped as standard with a mechanism to correct uneven material feed by making-micro adjustments to the bottom-feed.
