CHAINSTITCH MACHINES FOR HEMMING AND FINISHING FABRIC
Elizabeth Machines Co. has been the premier supplier of sewing machines and services for over 60 years. Since our establishment in 1960, we have trained over twenty staff who are leaders in their field — with some having over four decades of experience! If you are looking for a reliable chainstitch sewing machine, you’ve come to the right place.
BENEFITS OF USING A CHAINSTITCH SEWING MACHINE
A chainstitch sewing machine is used for more surface-level sewing and embroidery tasks. By creating flowing and curved lines on fabric, chainstitch sewing machines allow for more delicate and stretchy patterns than the average sewing machine. This is invaluable when sewing hems and waistbands.
Since a chainstitch machine replicates the delicacy of sewing by hand — only with more accuracy and efficiency — they can be used by almost anyone. They are easy to use and essential for at-home projects. If you are looking to get into sewing or are seeking for a professional-grade sewing unit, Elizabeth Machines Co. has the product for you.
A CLOSER LOOK AT OUR CHAINSTITCH INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINES
Here is a quick overview of the machines we offer and how they handle different stitching needs:
- FEED OFF THE ARM CHAINSTITCH MACHINES
These models hold fabric at a fixed angle, so curved panels and tubular pieces can pass through smoothly. The arm structure gives clear access around the stitching area, which helps when working with items that need controlled handling.
- SINGLE-THREAD CHAINSTITCH BUTTON MACHINES
These machines are designed for attaching buttons with consistent results. The single-thread system forms a firm chain underneath, giving a clean finish to a wide range of button styles.
- HIGH-PERFORMANCE CHAINSTITCH BUTTON MACHINES
This group is engineered for smooth motion through repeated buttoning cycles. They also offer stable stitch formation during long sessions, which helps maintain accuracy from one piece to the next.
- PORTABLE CHAINSTITCH UNITS FOR HEAVY FABRICS
These machines are built to work directly on thicker textiles that require strong thread support. Their feeding setup holds multiple layers in place, making them suitable for tasks involving robust or reinforced materials.
- CHAINSTITCH TAPE EDGE HEADS
These units handle the process of binding the outer edges of padded or layered items. The stitch holds tape securely around thicker profiles while keeping the outer line even and controlled.
- LONG ARM CHAINSTITCH MACHINES
These machines provide extended space for larger pieces that need extra room to move freely. They help create accurate lines across wide or bulky materials by giving more reach during setup and stitching.

RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT SEWING PATTERNS
It’s never been easier to sew hems and waistbands. All our products are quality assured so that you never have to second-guess your equipment. Though our machines streamline most projects, there are some essential steps to follow when using a chainstitch sewing machine:
- Be sure to have a chainstitch sewing machine handy. If you don’t have one or need an upgrade, be sure to browse through the chainstitch sewing machines for sale that we have to offer.
- Choose your desired fabric for hemming and set up your machine. If you are hemming skirts or waistbands, make sure to use threads with a similar colour to create a low-profile, seamless look.
- Most hems have three layers, so first decide the edge that you will be hemming.
- When setting up your fabric, fold the layers on top of each other so that you see the inside layer.
- Feed the fabric under the needle, and then sew finely forward, back and then forward again to secure the stitch. You shouldn’t have any issues sewing nice and evenly along the edge with one of our reliable chainstitch sewing machines.
- If you are sewing a curved edge, use zig-zag patterns to create a pin hem. This is most suitable for several types of skirts and waistbands.
- When you have achieved your desired hem, cut the thread and review your work. If you are satisfied, the process is complete and you can enjoy your newly hemmed fabric.
