Dürkopp Adler 867-490322-M
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The 867-490322-M is a two-needle lockstitch machine with individually disengageable needle bars, built for decorative topstitching on car seats, leather goods and upholstery: where a twin-needle seam has to turn a corner and stay parallel, one needle bar is switched off from the keypad and lowered again once the piece has been turned. The large vertical hook and the three-way feed (bottom, needle and alternating feet) keep the material from shifting even on thick leather and cross seams.
The head has an integrated direct drive, so there is no separate motor or belt to order, and the DAC classic control with its OP1000 panel handles needle positioning and the sewing parameters. Thread trimmer, backtacking and presser foot lift are automatic as standard.
This is a machine for medium to heavy work (leather, padded parts, seat covers), not lightweight fabric: the distance between the two needles is fixed by the sewing equipment chosen at order, from a set of available gauges.

Pros and cons
In favour
- The needle bars disengage individually from the keypad: clean decorative corners without dismantling anything. source
- Direct drive integrated in the head: no separate motor to select and wire.
- Large vertical hook, built for heavy threads such as 10/3 synthetic.
- Thread trimmer, backtacking and presser foot lift are automatic as standard, not options.
Worth knowing
- The distance between the two needles is set by the sewing equipment chosen at order: changing it means changing parts. source
- It is a bare industrial head: no separate motor is needed, but the table and stand still have to be set up. source
- Built for medium to heavy work: not the machine for lightweight fabric.
