Overview
The SW-8700 is the lowest-cost way to start industrial sewing. It uses the traditional clutch-motor drive, which keeps the purchase price down and the design simple — exactly what a new tailor shop needs when budget is the priority.
It sews the same lockstitch as a direct-drive machine on light and medium fabrics, just with the familiar hum of a clutch motor. For a first machine, this is the standard starting point across West Africa and South Asia.
If your workshop already pays a significant electricity bill and you plan to run machines all day, a direct-drive machine will cost you less over time — the clutch-motor model is the budget entry, not the long-term efficiency choice.
Key Applications
- New tailor shops and small workshops — lowest startup cost → Garment factory machines
- School uniform and simple garment production — reliable daily output
- Curtains, bed sheets and home textiles — steady straight stitching
What’s Included
- Machine head

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum order quantity?+
1 unit. Order 1–4 machines and we ship by express courier or LCL sea freight — a full container is optional, not a requirement.
Which voltage will I receive?+
Your machine ships configured for your country's mains supply — we confirm the exact voltage with you before shipping. Available options: 220V, 230V, 240V.
Can I get spare parts later?+
Yes — we keep common parts in stock and can include a spare parts pack with your order, so a worn part never stops your production.
Is a clutch motor hard to use?+
No — it has a different foot-pedal feel than a servo motor, but it is the machine most tailors learn on and is easy to master.
Can I upgrade to a servo motor later?+
Yes. A clutch-motor machine accepts a standard servo motor upgrade — the single best improvement for noise and energy use.
Why is a clutch motor cheaper?+
It is a simpler, mass-produced design. You trade lower running efficiency for the lowest purchase price.
