Compact industrial · Compound-feed walking foot
Keep your layers moving together.
The Mirsew MS-0617B compound-feed walking foot sewing machine brings controlled feeding to leather goods, upholstery and canvas work. Its needle, walking foot and feed dog work together to help move layered material through the seam.
A compact machine head for smaller workrooms, supplied assembled with a sewing table, stand and motor.
Available to order online, with nationwide New Zealand shipping.
What compound feed does for your sewing
Unlike a bottom-feed-only machine, compound feed combines needle feed with the walking foot and lower feed dog. This helps control layers that would otherwise shift as you sew.
It is useful for assembling bags, upholstery panels and other layered projects where consistent feeding matters.
Control without unnecessary complexity
- Direct-drive servo motor: integrated drive with adjustable sewing speed.
- Stitches up to 7mm: flexibility for seams and visible topstitching.
- Side-loading bobbin: a familiar industrial lockstitch layout.
- High presser-foot lift: room to position your work before sewing.
For leather, canvas and upholstery
- Leather goods: suitable bags, accessories and soft-leather assemblies.
- Upholstery: cushions, furniture panels and layered covers.
- Canvas and coated fabrics: suitable covers, bags and outdoor projects.
- Topstitching: visible seam details on heavier materials.
Match your needle, thread and speed to the material. Test thick seam crossings and delicate finishes before production.
Supplied built up, ready for your workroom
Your machine is supplied assembled with its sewing table, stand, motor and thread stand. The stand is mounted on wheels for easier positioning.
Included accessories: oil, bobbins, needles and screwdriver.
The table top is 0.55m wide. Allow space around the table to support and turn your work; “compact” describes the machine, not a portable domestic-style setup.

Common questions
How is compound feed different from a basic walking foot?
Compound feed adds needle feeding to the movement of the walking foot and feed dog. Together, these help control the material layers through the stitch.
Does it include the table and motor?
Yes. The machine comes built up with its table, stand, motor, thread stand and listed accessories. It is not a head-only listing.
Is it a portable machine?
No. This is a compact industrial machine supplied on a sewing table and wheeled stand. It still needs a dedicated, stable working area.
Can I buy online for delivery outside Auckland?
Yes. Order through the Add to Cart button on this page. We ship nationwide across New Zealand.
