3 Needles • 5 Threads • Elastic Attaching • Edge Trimming • Upper & Lower Covering • 5.6 mm Gauge
JMJ Sewing Machines recommends the JACK® JK-8568-05GBX356 for workshops specializing in elastic attachment and edge finishing on compatible knit garments. Its 3-needle, 5-thread flatbed configuration is intended to combine elastic application, trimming and coverstitch finishing in a single production operation.
The machine applies elastic while simultaneously trimming excess fabric from the edge, helping produce a clean, consistent professional finish while reducing separate production steps. Its upper and lower covering capability provides strong, flexible seams suitable for garments that must stretch during use.
The X356 configuration provides a 5.6 mm needle gauge. The machine uses the UY128GAS needle system, with recommended needle sizes from #11/75 to #14/90 for light to medium-weight knit fabrics.
Special 05GB Configuration
The 05GB configuration is specifically designed for elastic attaching applications where the elastic must be sewn to the garment while the excess fabric edge is trimmed during the same operation. This combination improves production efficiency and provides a cleaner, more consistent finish than performing the operations separately.
- Attaches elastic during sewing.
- Simultaneously trims excess fabric from the edge.
- Produces upper and lower covering stitches.
- Reduces separate handling and finishing operations.
- Provides consistent elastic application on production garments.

JMJ SEWING MACHINES RECOMMENDS
Before ordering, confirm the required elastic width, fabric type and machine subclass. JMJ prepares the machine with its motor, table and stand and performs a sewing test prior to delivery.
The JACK® JK-8568-05GBX356 is more than a standard 3-needle coverstitch machine. Its specialized 05GB configuration combines elastic attachment, edge trimming, and coverstitch sewing in a single operation, making it an efficient production solution for underwear, sportswear, activewear, and other knit garments requiring clean, consistent elastic finishing.
