subject: Turning Hobby Into Business Using Industrial Sewing Machines [print this page] We can categorize sewing machines according to their capacity, power and overall design. You know you need a heavy duty machine if you are making do with a very small, lightweight machine to take care of your big projects. Granted, your lightweight sewing machine could probably handle most big projects if you just change the needle, but sewing machine users who use their machine everyday for big projects should use the heavy duty variants. Heavy or layered fabrics in particular need heavy duty handling.
You need to set a criteria for choosing your heavy duty industrial sewing machine. Here are some of the criteria you need for choosing an industrial sewing machine for your needs...
1. Speed of Work
A heavy duty industrial sewing machine can sew more rapidly than the regular sewing machines. The right amount of power is important if you want more rapid sewing. The best brands can be determined by browsing some reviews from users of these machines. You can also look into some second hand machines that are well maintained.
2. Branded Industrial Sewing Machines
Branded sewing machines are still the best. A used machine with a good brand will have the same quality as a brand new one. You need a reputable brand so that you can reap the benefits from the advance features of these machines. Durability and longevity of the parts are what you can expect from some of the more popular machine brands.
3. Beautiful Stitches
An industrial sewing machine is considered great if it can produce beautiful stitches that seem to look like handmade ones. The bottom feeder of the machine must firmly but gently guide the garment under the needle. A good industrial sewing machine can allow for a finish that lends the best stitches to even the thickest or most layered materials.
Extra features can also be a good criterion for choosing a sewing machine. extra features may include built in drawers or hand rests. However, if you have to choose between function and power, and frame design, choose function.
