Alfa Overlock Machine 8704
Have you been sewing for a while, and now you are looking for an overlock machine that gives you professional finishes? Presenting the Alfa 8704, an overlock machine with 3 or 4 threads that is very stable and provides for intensive use. You can use it to overlock all your garments and overcast (or do piping) with high quality.
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.
Below, you can find details on its features and videos on how to use it. If you would like to go one step further, we recommend the overlock machine Alfa 8703 and if you would rather take a step back, we recommend the Alfa 8707.

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?
