MODEL-500 PORTABLE Desktop / Tabletop BLINDSTITCH MACHINE with 2 to 1 Skip Stitch or 1 to 1 Constant Stitch Factory Packaged. All METAL casing, ALL METAL parts. This Blindstitch Machine is WORLD CLASS QUALITY and runs very smoothly and quietly. "WORLD CLASS" or "A" Quality means that you cannot find BETTER quality anywhere. This machine and similar machines retail for $300.00 to $500.00 The stitch can be changed from Full Penetration for each stitch (1 to 1) or Full Penetration for every other stitch (2 to 1). Sounds good, but WHAT does that mean? 1 to 1 Stitch means that EVERY stitch penetrates ALL layers of your fabric. This is generally used where STRENGTH is a PRIMARY Consideration in places like draperies or mens pants bottoms. 2 to 1 Stitch is more commonly used because only Every OTHER stitch penetrates ALL layers of fabric. This is generally used where APPEARANCE is a PRIMARY Consideration in highly visible places on apparel or garments like Ladies Skirts or Blouses. This looks better because only half of the stitches penetrate thru the outside visible layer of fabric. Very little if any of your stitch will be visible on the outside of your garment. Why is this Machine called a BLINDSTITCH? Because if the "Penetration" Dial is set correctly and the "Stitch Selector" is set to "2 to 1" and the thread is the same color as the fabric, You WILL NOT SEE the STITCH on the outside of the garment. So it is a "BLINDSTITCH" This World Class Quality KOBE Blindstitch is Similar in Design but Superior in Quality to other Portable Blindstitch Models: 75T    500    BLST-1    BLST-2    CM61    CM-500    CS-500    G2000    G2000-7    M520    MSK-500    MSK-555    PB    REL-PBL    RX-518    SL78-2    T500    ZJ500 Very Smooth and Fast (1200 Stitches per Minute) Operation MOTOR:      110 Volts      100 Watts      .9 Amps      7000 R.P.M.
