Dürkopp Adler 5622
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The 5622 is a multi-needle double-chainstitch (401) machine — up to 10 needles, with the gauge between the outer needles adjustable from 4.8 to 60 mm — built for visible decorative top-stitching: jeans, workwear, sportswear, curtains and awnings. INLINE technology keeps the loopers parallel and moving in the sewing direction, so the stitch looks identical from the right and left needle.
Chainstitch doesn't use a bobbin, so there's no mid-job bobbin change — just needle thread to refill. Threading runs through swing-out loopers, all reachable from the front of the machine. The presser foot lifts automatically, pneumatically; stitch length runs up to 6 mm, and there's 11 mm of clearance under the foot.
It comes in a B/BN6 version for medium-weight material and a C/CN6 version for medium-heavy. The head alone weighs about 56 kg: table and stand are separate, and it needs a compressed-air line for the automatic foot lift.
