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).)

With the electronic zigzag stitchers, the needle moves perpendicular to the material so that needle deflection does not occur even at high speed sewing. Furthermore, the pulse motor with servo control, adopted for the zigzag mechanism, prevents position slippage.
