How to purchase a sewing machine

A sewing machine uses a needle and a rotary hook to interlock threads above and below a piece of fabric and produce a stitch. These stitches can be designed to simply lock two fabrics together, encase the raw edges of a seam, or decorate fabric with a specific pattern.

Purchasing a sewing machine can be a daunting task. From older models with basic functions to top of the line models with internal computers and a variety of features, a profusion of sewing machine models are available on the market today.

Keep in mind that the machine choice must be suitable with the planned usage. An artistic home sewer might want a machine with many creative stitch functions, while a garment facoty would want a machine with basic stitch functions and a stronger motor for sewing speeds.
