PFAFF 1246 Two Needle Walking Foot Heavy Duty Flat Bed Lockstitch Industrial Sewing Machine - Complete Setup, Table, Stand Included

The Pfaff 1246 is a heavy-duty, two-needle walking foot flat bed lockstitch industrial sewing machine engineered in Germany for the most demanding upholstery, leather, and heavy material applications. Featuring Pfaff's renowned unison feed system — synchronized needle feed, bottom drop feed, and alternating top walking foot — this machine produces perfectly even parallel stitches without ply shifting, even on multi-layer assemblies and thick materials.

This configuration is equipped with an external servo motor controlled by the genuine Pfaff P40 CD control box, both mechanical and pneumatic reverse for maximum versatility, automatic needle positioner, and a pneumatic foot lifter for fast, fatigue-free operation. The oversized vertical rotary hook holds 60% more bobbin thread than standard hooks, reducing downtime for bobbin changes during long production runs.

Available in three needle gauges to suit different parallel-seam widths: 1/4" (6.4 mm), 5/16" (7.9 mm), and 3/8" (9.5 mm) — select the appropriate gauge for your application at checkout.

Ideal for furniture and car upholstery, leather clothing, leather goods, marine canvas, and any heavy-duty production application requiring twin parallel seams with consistent stitch quality.
