FY2972 / FY2973

The FY-2972 and FY-2973 are heavy-duty single-needle cylinder arm sewing machines designed for sewing and repairing thick materials such as leather, canvas, rubber, and plastic. Commonly used in shoemaking, leatherwork, and industrial mending, these machines are ideal for products like shoes, boots, bags, slippers, dolls, and cylindrical items.

Each machine features a compact cylinder bed, making it especially suitable for sewing hard-to-reach, curved, or closed areas. The oscillating shuttle mechanism ensures consistent and reliable stitching, while the universal upper feed allows multi-directional sewing without turning the material.

Both models offer:

An extra small cylinder bed

Oscillating shuttle for smooth thread handling

Double-ended needle plate with various hole sizes

Adjustable presser foot pressure and thread tension

Thread take-up lever for fine control

Compatibility with hand crank, treadle, or electric motor

Options for standard or large bobbin (B type), and regular or extended (L type) arm versions

Model Differences:
The FY-2972 features a 12-inch arm and is designed for general use, especially in compact workspaces or for standard shoe and leather repairs. It's ideal for smaller projects where space and maneuverability are key.

The FY-2973, on the other hand, features an extended 18-inch arm, offering more reach and workspace. This makes it better suited for sewing larger or bulkier items like tall boots, large bags, or cylindrical goods where extra clearance is needed.

In short, the FY-2972 is more compact and portable for everyday repair work, while the FY-2973 provides the extended reach and flexibility needed for larger, more complex stitching tasks.
