Slider –
hightech for home maker
Textiles are bonded by specific adhesive agents. These special adhesives ensure that the stitches are stretchable and will withstand ironing as well as machine washing.
The Slider makes it possible to connect textiles by adhesive stitching, rather than by sewing with a needle and thread. Industrial applications for adhesive stitching already include, for example, sportswear and tents.
If desired, the stitches are watertight, wind-resistant and extremely durable. A further advantage of adhesive stitching is that there is no hem and thus the wearing comfort is greatly increased. The adhesive fixing machine makes it possible to join together textiles use simply and without complications, for example when repairing stitching which has burst or when tailoring individual fashions.
The adhesive fixing machine combines many possibilities, to complement the uses of a sewing machine.
