ZOJE A0323 · Automatic walking foot
Confident feeding. Fewer interruptions.
The Zoje A0323 automatic walking foot sewing machine combines top-and-bottom feeding with direct-drive control for upholstery, bags, canvas and soft-leather projects.
Automatic thread trimming, backtacking and presser-foot lifting take care of repetitive steps between seams, leaving you free to concentrate on guiding the work.
Available to order online, with nationwide New Zealand shipping.
Move layered work more consistently
The walking foot and lower feed dog work together to help feed materials that can shift or drag under a conventional presser foot. The open arm area gives you room to handle bags, covers and upholstery panels.
This is a top-and-bottom-feed machine, sometimes called a shuffle-feed walking foot. It is not a needle-feed or triple-feed machine.
Automatic functions that earn their place
- Thread trimming: cuts the threads at the end of the sewing cycle.
- Backtacking: secures seam starts and finishes using reverse stitches.
- Presser-foot lifting: helps you reposition or remove the work.
- Needle positioning: provides a controlled stopping position between operations.
- Adjustable speed and LED lighting: control your pace and see the stitching area clearly.
Built for practical workshop sewing
- Upholstery: furniture panels, cushions and covers.
- Bags and accessories: suitable canvas, coated fabrics and soft leather.
- Outdoor covers: suitable canvas and PVC assemblies.
- Visible stitching: seams and topstitching on medium-to-heavy materials.
Choose the correct needle point, thread and speed for your material. Test layered seam crossings before production; presser-foot clearance is not a guaranteed sewing-thickness capacity.

Common questions
Is this a compound-feed machine?
No. The A0323 uses a walking foot and lower feed dog. Compound feed also moves the needle with the material; that is a different feed arrangement.
Are the table and motor included?
Yes. The machine is supplied assembled with its table, stand, motor, thread stand and listed accessories.
Does it trim the thread automatically?
Yes. Automatic thread trimming is included, along with backtacking, foot lifting and needle positioning.
