The basic 8 types, 14 sewing patterns are built-in. Users do not need to have multiple cams for each 
sewing pattern, which allows excellent cost performance.
Users can store their original sewing patterns in the machine 
additionally.  Custom patterns can be used in a wide variety of 
applications, such as decorative stitching of ladies wear, knitted 
articles, neckerchiefs, towel handkerchiefs, foundation garments 
and swimming wear. Data handling is easily made with CF 
cards, adopted as storage media. (Up to 99 patterns with a total 
of 49,500 stitches, 500 stitches or less per pattern. Sewing 
patterns can be created at the operation panel or by using the 
sewing data programming software PS-300B (Option).)
Plain zigzag, 3-step zigzag, scallop patterns and T-stitches* are provided
Custom sewing patterns adding value to the product
Simple setting for 
condensed stitches
Setting for condensed 
stitches, making stitches (feed 
amount) finer at backtacking, 
can easily be made with the 
adjustment dial.
Minute-adjustable 
pressing level
Pressing level of the presser foot 
can minutely be lifted in accordance 
with materials. It is suitable for 
sewing of stretch materials and 
raised fabrics, preventing stitch 
slippage and damage to the fabrics.
Trouble-free hook shaft 
offset mechanism
This mechanism prevents skipped 
stitches and thread breakages which 
tend to occur at the needle’s right zigzag 
position. It also makes needle and rotary 
hook timing adjustment easier and 
improves the maintenance operation. 
Damage of the rotary hook tip by the 
needle guard can be prevented as well.
Enhancing sewing quality
Soft, quality sewing finishes
Improvements have been made to 
enable soft sewing finishes with low 
thread tension, such as of needle 
and rotary hook timing, shapes of 
the rotary hook and the thread 
take-up, and the thread path.
Thread trimming errors can 
be prevented (Z-8560A)
Grooved cam method, which 
eliminates thread trimming error, 
has been adopted. In addition, the 
knife mechanism is unitized in one 
unit, allowing simple maintenance.
Thread cast-off at sewing start 
can be prevented (Z-8560A)
The upper thread feeding device 
supplies just the necessary length of 
upper thread at sewing start.
