However with the twin type, embroiderers will have the ability to attach up to four different sequins and up to 13 colors on each 15 needle head. This device also uses Tajima's new ball screw system instead of pneumatic air cylinders, for more precise, maintenance-free and very fast sewing and sequin attachment

The reaction from customers at ITMA was overwhelmingly positive with many new design possibilities being discussed as the machine was running in front of them.
Super-Size Embroidery with a 50 head Machine Featuring “selective Head” Sewing and Automatic Bobbin Changing
The super-size multi head TFGN-650 was shown for the very first time in Europe at ITMA 2007. Each head interval is set to 162.4m and is 6 times wider than the typical head interval of Schiffli machines. This machine is ideal for consecutive cloth sewing such as quilt, window treatments and wall coverings. It also provides the ultimate in flexibility thanks to its “Selective Head” mechanism which allows embroidery by choosing various numbers of heads to be combined in different configurations to sew a specific embroidery design. The new UBCⅡ Bobbin Changer was also attached to machine, significantly decreasing the time necessary to exchange bobbins and the resulting machine downtime. For large format jobs the TFGN is the ultimate in flexibility and productivity.
