Three-needle cylinder-arm coverstitch — for sewing in the round on sleeves, pant legs, cuffs, and tubular sections that flatbed machines can't close.

Who runs this

Activewear and T-shirt manufacturers needing to coverstitch hems already closed into a tube — set-in sleeves, finished pant legs, cuffs, tubular socks. The cylinder bed lets the operator slip the tube over the arm and stitch around the inside.

Different from the flatbed SW 562 — the 562 sews flat panels before they're closed; the 662 sews after. Most apparel lines that run heavy knit production have both.

Why cylinder-arm over flatbed coverstitch

Sews in the round. The cylinder arm fits inside a closed tube. Set-in sleeves, finished pant legs, cuff bands — all sewn after the tube is closed, not before.
Same stretch-tolerant chain. Three-needle coverstitch with looper underneath. Same construction as the flatbed, just on a cylinder.
Production-grade SPM and auto-oil. Direct drive, high-speed throughput, continuous-run lubrication. Built for shops doing volume tubular hemming.

Application examples

Set-in sleeve hems

T-shirt sleeve hems sewn after the sleeve is set into the body. Cylinder arm slips inside the sleeve; operator rotates the body around it.

Legging cuffs

Closed-leg activewear with finished ankle cuff. The cuff band attaches to the closed leg tube on the cylinder; flatbed can't reach.

Pant leg hems

Knit pant bottom hems sewn after the leg is closed at the inseam. Cylinder arm fits the leg; operator hems around the entire circumference in one pass.
