Equipment & Machinery
Sewing woven fabrics, leather and denim.
Industrial machines are designed to do one job well. Built for stamina and speed these Brother S - 72200A/B -403 straight stitch machines simply sew forwards and backwards. 3/4 (24) of our straight stitch machines are these new Brother models which have a very useful automatic back tack and cut off function, programmable using the digital display shown here. We also have a Brother zig zag machine, two sheer/fine fabrics machines, six machines set to sew heavy fabrics such as denim and leather. A heavy duty cylinder arm machine for getting into tight corners with 3 different width binders and a leather 'post' machine for sewing bags and shoes. Our machinery is serviced and PAT tested annually to maintain high safety and operational standards.
We have a strict Health & Safety policy which must be adhered to at all times when using any electrical or mechanical equipment in the workshop area.

Sewing stretch fabrics, jersey and knit.
Overlockers are used for constructing garments in stretch fabrics (or for neatening seams in woven fabrics). The sewing workshops at UWE house 9 industrial overlock machines which are designed to edge and cut off simultaneously. We have one fine edge finisher, 3 coverseam machines which hem a folded edge or stitch on a stretch binding, but don't cut. We also have one chain stitcher for sewing stretch fabrics without neatening the edge.

Finishing
We are lucky to have just aquired a brand new Brother HE800A Shirt Buttonhole machine. This can create 99 programmable buttonholes through many different thicknesses of fabric. We have a separate Reece machine for keyhole buttonholes. a folding edge Binding Machine and a Blind Hemmer.
For pressing, we have a Comel industrial fusing press and 4 Stirovap pressure boilers attached to 8 industrial steam irons complete with vacuum tables across the 2 machine rooms.
