Jack JK-58450J
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The JK-58450J is a computerized two-needle lockstitch machine: seams stay parallel until a corner comes up, because the needle bars can be disengaged one at a time. Press the pedal, the machine sews the preset number of stitches with a single needle, stops by itself so the work can be turned, then lowers the second needle again once sewing resumes. The parallel seam holds up on denim, upholstery and technical goods where two rows of stitching share the strain.
The hook is the small type, suited to fine threads; the gauge between the needles is fixed at 6.4 mm and is not selectable at order. Thread trimmer, backtacking and an automatic presser foot lifter are built into the head, and voice guidance walks through the panel settings.
This is an industrial head, not a home machine: it mounts on a table with a motor, neither of which is included.

Pros and cons
In favour
- The needle bars disengage one at a time: you can turn a corner without losing the seams' parallel alignment. source
- Thread trimmer, backtacking and presser foot lift are automatic and built into the machine body.
- Voice guidance and one-key factory reset: settings are found without the manual in hand. source
- Top speed of 3,000 stitches per minute.
Worth knowing
- The needle gauge is fixed at 6.4 mm: not meant to be re-tooled for other spacings.
- The small hook is built for fine threads: heavier threads call for the large-hook version instead.
- It ships as a bare head: motor and table are bought separately. source
