Alfa Remalladora 8703

Are you looking for a semi-professional overlock machine that provides you with high-quality finishes? The Alfa 8703 is definitely your overlock machine. It will be very easy for you to thread it since it includes coloured guides for each thread. It also has a device to release tension, making threading easier.

This is an overlock machine you can use to sew with 2, 3 or 4 threads. You can use it to overlock all your garments and overcast (or do piping) with professional finishes. You can adjust the length of the stitch from 1 to 5 mm and the width from 3.1 to 5.1 mm. It also has a mobile blade to block the cutting feature in the event that you only want to overlock. It includes an LED light to prevent eye fatigue.

You are almost ready to get your Alfa machine, but you still have a few questions that need answering. We will try to provide a response to your concerns:

Will I know how to use it?

We are very familiar with this feeling. In our "I Want to Sew" section and in leading sewing blogs, you can find tutorials that will help you to better understand your machine. If you would like to delve into the world of sewing, you can contact our partner academies and enjoy your Alfa to its full potential. What's more, we are always in motion and organise weekly workshops in different locations, attend DIY fairs, and organise events at haute couture centres.

Will it last many years?

Over the past 100 years in history, four generations have now sewn with an Alfa. Today, we are proud to walk hand-in-hand with our customers advise them whenever they need us. Regarding old Alfa machines, for example, we strive to provide replacements. Moreover, in this section, we have over 200 old (and modern) machine manuals that we have collected, because many of you have inherited an Alfa and are still sewing with it. The truth is, there are beautiful stories behind every Alfa, and we love it when you share them with us by email and on social media.

If it breaks down, what should I do?
