Getting a heavy-duty sewing machine is not simple. These units are high in quality and are made to last, so making the right choice that’s just for you is important. These are so many things to consider – from stitch options and speed to the build, weight, and material. Every feature can influence how happy you will be with the machine you chose in the end. However, working on heavy-duty models is a delight since they usually provide an effortless and seamless sewing experience. In general, we would recommend dressmakers to invest in a heavy-duty machine instead of a regular one, especially if they either sew often, in large quantities, or with heavyweight and tough fabrics. If you plan to sew often, heavy-duty machines are more cost effective, despite costing a bit more than the regular units. 1. Domestic Use Sewing and Quilting A heavier body ensures that the sewing machine won’t shake when you sew at high speeds or use powerful stitches to pierce through tough fabrics. However, it also means that the machine is heavier to move, so you shouldn’t expect that much portability from heavy-duty machines. If you frequently attend sewing workshops, or you like having your sewing machine with you when traveling, a heavy-duty model might not be the right choice for you. These usually have to stay at the same place, and it’d be best if you don’t move the machine from your workstation at all. However, there are some slightly lighter models that can be moved a bit easier, which is also useful for storage.
