The robust and proven construction of the 269 has made this Dürkopp Adler machine an operating equipment for general stitching in medium-weight to heavy-weight material like upholstery, leather articles and technical textiles. Only cylinder arm machines allow special sewing operations to be carried out on three-dimensional or tubular shaped items when processing technical textiles, shoe, leather goods, bags and similar products. The robust 269 with bottom, needle and alternating top feed, large vertical hook and safety clutch offers ideal conditions for these requirements.
