When compared to a 6-thread flatlock seam with identical thread, fabric, and SPI, Merrow ActiveSeam 2 & 3-thread seams proved to be more than 30% stronger and had the ability to stretch (linear travel) 100% further
With twice the stretch built into the seam, and a flat profile, Activeseam garments are extraordinarily comfortable and do not restrict athletic movement
ActiveSeam 2.0 accommodates a wide variety of needles and feed eccentrics, including two different needle plates and up to six different needle sizes
The MB-4DFO-2 machines have also been shown to increase production speed: "...we just finished a time study and 'Mrs. Betty Blue' [MB-4DFO-2] has cut our production time almost in half." - Kate Sauls, Livell Co.
With ActiveSeam 2.0, the possibilities are truly endless!
