Chain Stitch Shuttleless Multi Needle Quilting Machine SAB-4W
The shuttleless multi needle quilting machine SAB-4W is a chain stitch shuttleless multi needle quilting machine designed for mattress quilted fabric panels, bedding products, and quilted home textile materials.
Compared with shuttle lock stitch quilting machines, this model uses a shuttleless chain stitch structure, making it more suitable for high-speed quilting, continuous pattern production, and applications where efficiency and pattern flexibility are important.
It is suitable for mattress factories, bedding manufacturers, and quilting workshops that need stable output, flexible pattern options, and efficient quilting for medium- to large-width textile materials.
Key Features and Practical Quilting Value
1. Automatic lubrication system
The automatic lubrication system helps reduce manual maintenance work and supports longer service life of key transmission parts.
2. Camless double rocker mechanism
The needle bar and press plate use a camless double rocker structure, helping reduce fabric oil contamination risk while keeping stable pressing during quilting.
3. Computerized control with CAD pattern editing
The control system supports CAD pattern drawing, pattern editing, speed control, and quilting process management for easier operation.
4. Infrared thread breakage detection
The infrared system detects upper and lower thread breakage and stops the multi needle quilting machines automatically to reduce defective quilted materials.
5. Frequency-controlled main shaft and servo drive
The main shaft uses frequency control, while the saddle and roller are servo-driven to support smoother movement during different quilting patterns.
6. Multiple quilting pattern options
The computerized multi needle quilting machine supports 180° patterns, 360° patterns, continuous patterns, and tack jump patterns for different mattress and bedding designs.
7. Stable output for medium- to high-efficiency quilting
With 500–1200 rpm main shaft speed and 60–260 m/h production speed, SAB-4W is suitable for regular mattress and bedding quilting production.

Production Process
We believe that it is foolish to sell any fixed type of multi needle quilting machinery. Machinery should be upgraded according to different production scenarios to maximize efficiency.
FAQ
Q1: What’s the core mechanical difference between the two machines?
A1: Lock stitch multi needle quilting machine is the general term for shuttle-type quilters; its core structure adopts shuttle hook + bobbin. It uses two threads (upper thread + bobbin bottom thread) to interlock inside fabric layers to form tight lock stitches.
The so-called shuttle multi needle quilting machine is exactly the shuttle lock stitch model. Many factories divide them conceptually:
Shuttle lock stitch: Equipped with large-capacity rotary shuttle, standard lock-stitch seam;
Shuttleless chain stitch multi needle quilting machine: No shuttle/bobbin, only single upper thread to form chain stitches (easy to unravel if broken).
Q2: What’s the stitch feature of shuttle lock stitch multi needle quilters?
A2: Lock stitches interlock firmly in the middle of mattress fabrics. Even if one section of thread snaps, the whole pattern won’t loosen or unravel. The front and back fabric surfaces show neat, identical stitch lines, delivering premium visual texture and long-term structural stability for mattresses.
Q3: What are the pros & cons of shuttle lock stitch multi needle quilting machines?
Advantages
Ultra durable stitching, ideal for high-end mattresses, hotel bedding and thick upholstery;
Uniform stitch tension, supports intricate jacquard, 360° jump patterns without fabric puckering;
Tight quilting layers prevent inner foam shifting during long-term use.
Disadvantages
Requires regular bobbin replacement, leading to short production downtime;
Slightly lower maximum running speed compared with shuttleless chain stitch equipment;
Higher daily maintenance for shuttle and hook components.
Q4: What’s the difference between shuttle lock stitch and shuttleless chain stitch quilters in production efficiency?
A4: Shuttle lock stitch machines need frequent bobbin refilling, causing intermittent line stops, so hourly output is lower. Shuttleless chain stitch models run continuously without bottom thread changes, supporting ultra-high mass production with less labor attendance.
Q5: Which mattress manufacturers should choose shuttle lock stitch multi needle quilting machines?
A5: Factories focusing on mid-to-high-end mattress lines, luxury bedding, memory foam mattresses and hotel custom mattresses are the best match. Products require long service life, delicate quilt patterns and premium appearance to raise retail pricing power.
Q6: What maintenance does shuttle lock stitch quilting machine need?
A6: Daily routine work includes cleaning shuttle lint residue, checking shuttle hook wear, lubricating shuttle tracks, monitoring upper & bottom thread tension, and responding to thread break alarms in time. Large-capacity rotary shuttle designs extend bobbin replacement cycles and cut maintenance frequency.
