What is the difference between industrial machines and “Industrial Strength” sewing machines?
• Smaller sewing machines listed as “Industrial Strength” are common household machines with attached domestic motors that are great for sewing light materials and general fabric repairs • Trying to sew multiple layers of leather, canvas or vinyl with a household machines equipped with plastic parts and body will result in a number of problems and the quick breakdown of the machine – the internal gears and attached motor are not nearly powerful enough for years of heavy sewing projects • In order to work on bigger projects such as upholstery, clothing manufacturing and general multi-layer repairs/creations using thick materials, you will require an industrial sewing machine, with a clutch or servo motor.
