Can an embroidery machine be used as a regular sewing machine?
Yes and no. The embroidery machine is such a specialized machine that, while it is possible to use it as a regular sewing machine, it doesn’t always make sense to do that. It might be considered overkill to use an embroidery machine for basic sewing needs. Most experienced seamstresses who deal in embroidery and other projects keep a different sewing machine handy for the simpler projects.
