Comparison Minerva Smart 60 vs Minerva Smart 40

The maximum stitch width performed by the sewing machine.

Most modern sewing machines can work not only with the simplest longitudinal seam (when the needle punctures go strictly one after the other) but also with seams that overlap a certain width — for example, zigzag and various decorative ones. And in overlockers, such features are generally available by definition.

The larger the maximum stitch width, the wider the possibilities of the machine to work with specific types of seams (ceteris paribus). An indicator up to 5 mm is typical mainly for entry-level devices, 5 – 7 mm — medium, and 7 mm or more — advanced.
