Alfa Coverstitch Machine 8706

If you are looking for a semi-professional coverstitch machine to make high-quality hems with, the Alfa 8706 is your machine. It is ideal if you are a fashion designer, you have a mending shop, or if you are looking for perfection when hemming all your elastic garments (knit fabrics, cotton T-shirts, bikinis, etc).

This machine is very easy to thread since it includes coloured guides for each thread. It also has a device to release tension, making threading easier. It has the possibility of sewing with 2, 3, or 4 threads, so you can also do chain backstitch. You can also adjust the length of the stitch from 1 to 5 mm.

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.

    WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE
    Alfa Coverstitch Machine 8706

    “The coverstitch machine 8706 has several stitch widths, which gives you perfect hems. Threading is very easy, since there are coloured guides for each thread. It sews elastics very well. This is most definitely the best choice if you are looking for professional-quality finishes.”

    Rubén C. ALFA Santander

    “The coverstitch machine 8706 by Alfa is a very good machine. It has several modalities for the backstitch to either be more separated or closer together. It works very well, it operates gently, and the stitch adjustment is just wonderful. The machine itself is great and it functions magnificently. I recommend it 100%.”

    Vicenta RamosALFA Granada

    “The Alfa 8706 is a semi-professional coverstitch machine that is ideal for fashion designers and mending shops. This machine is very easy to handle and does not give any issues. It is perfect for hemming Lycra and, of course, all other fabrics. The quality-price ratio is excellent. I definitely recommend it.”
