Alfa Basic 720

The Alfa Basic 720 is perfect for taking your first stitches. It is a robust machine that is easy to handle and very intuitive.It is perfect if you are considering doing your own mending: hemming your jeans, zippers, buttonholes, etc. With its 9 stitches, you will have all the functions you need. One of its advantages is that you can change both stitch length and zigzag width by up to 5 mm.

If you would like to go one step further, take a look at the Alfa Style 20 and the Alfa Style 30, and if you are looking for a simpler machine, we recommend the Alfa Next 10.

WHY DOES MY MACHINE JAM

WHY ALFA?

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?

Contact us through this form. At our Eibar facilities (Gipuzkoa, Spain), we repair machines, provide assistance, and coordinate workshops around the country. This gives us awareness of problems and allows us to resolve them quickly.
