Industrial power for high-volume production
The VMA V-561ES is a quality industrial coverstitch machine engineered for high-volume apparel production where efficiency and a premium finish are paramount. This model features a wide 5.6mm needle gauge, making it the professional choice for the vast majority of coverstitch applications, including bold, reinforced seams on sportswear, fleece, and heavy-duty knits. Equipped with a state-of-the-art direct drive motor and advanced automatic thread trimming, it significantly reduces production cycle times while maintaining quiet operation. Designed for durability and precision, this 4-thread machine offers 2 or 3 needle options with bottom coverstitch, ensuring elastic, retail-quality seams across a vast range of materials.

Features engineered for strong professional seams

Powerful direct drive motor
The V-561ES utilises a powerful, head-mounted servo motor. By eliminating the traditional under-table belt, this machine offers instantaneous start/stop response, reduced vibration, and significantly lower energy consumption. The result is a quieter sewing experience with maximum torque for heavy-duty knitwear.
Thread trimming
Boost productivity with the integrated automatic thread trimmer. This system eliminates the need for manual clipping, saving time on every cycle and reducing thread wastage—essential for high-speed production lines.


2 and 3 needles, 5.6mm industry standard gauge
This specific model can configured as a 2 or 3 needle finish with a 5.6mm needle gauge which is the professional standard for creating bold, reinforced coverstitch seams on hoodies, sweatshirts, and high-end sportswear.
4.4mm maximum stitch length
With a maximum stitch length of 4.4mm, this machine offers the flexibility needed to handle everything from lightweight knits to heavy fleece. Adjusting the stitch density is quick and intuitive, ensuring the perfect look for every garment.


Automatic oiling system & reservoir with closed oil pan
A fully enclosed automatic oiling system continuously lubricates all high-speed internal components using an integrated oil pump and sealed reservoir. Protected from lint, dust, and debris, the system ensures clean oil circulation, while the oil-flow sight window allows for quick and easy monitoring of oil pump performance.
Oil level gauge
Maintenance is simplified with a clear transparent window that shows the oil level gauge, allowing the operator to easily check oil level.
Thread lubrication
A silicone oil tub allows for effective thread lubrication, often essential for difficult synthetic threads and applications.


Easy looper threading
The looper mechanism is designed for easy accessibility, allowing the operator to re-thread quickly and get back to sewing with minimal downtime.
LCD Screen with control buttons
Precisely adjust sewing speeds, set needle-up/needle-down positions, and toggle automated functions through the tactile control buttons.


Binder mount
The frame includes a pre-drilled mounting point for various folders and binding attachments. This makes it a breeze to transition from standard hemming to binding necklines or armholes on sportswear and T-shirts.
Pressure adjustment
The V-561ES features a top-mounted, micro-adjustable presser foot pressure dial. This allows the operator to fine-tune the clamping force with extreme accuracy. Whether you are working with ultra-lightweight performance knits or heavy, multi-layered fleece, you can dial in the exact pressure needed to ensure smooth feeding without leaving marks or causing fabric slippage.


Differential feed
Tame difficult, stretchy, or "slippery" fabrics with ease. The differential feed allows the operator to compensate for fabric stretch or shrinkage in real-time. By adjusting the ratio, you can ensure perfectly flat, wave-free seams on sensitive knits or intentionally create gathered effects for specialised garment designs.
Automatic Presser foot lift
Designed for high-volume production and advanced fabric handling, the electronic foot lift allows for completely hands-free fabric positioning and removal, maximising both accuracy and operator speed throughout a long shift.


Drawer
A conveniently located drawer is included beneath the table for storing tools, spare needles, bobbins, and other necessary accessories, keeping the workspace tidy and efficient.
Complete with bench and table
The V-561ES is supplied as a complete unit, including a robust industrial laminated plywood bench and table specifically designed to support the machine head and motor, providing a stable and ergonomic workstation ready for immediate production.

Echidna Warranty
This machine includes a 2-year Return to Base Echidna warranty.
