\"need

Do you need an industrial sewing machine? \u00a0Take a good look in your basement and perhaps you already know the answer. \u00a0Down there under the dusty covers and dark shadows, there are the many wounded soldiers of your exploits and garage sales. \u00a0Unless you are an antique dealer or a collector, why would you want to clutter your home with any more unused machinery? \u00a0Some women buy sewing machines like they buy jeans. \u00a0Don't believe me?<\/p>\n

Run to your nail salon and ask around. \u00a0You will find that the average women have 6 pairs of jeans, some will have more. I am guilty of this, at one point of my life, I had 12 pairs of jeans and 6 sewing machines (1 Singer, 1 Toyota, 1 Juki, 1 Janome, and 2 sergers..). \u00a0I'm not sure if you know, but Toyota actually does make sewing machines –as well as cars, trucks and just about everything else. \u00a0Then I started to ask myself –what possessed me to accumulate so many pairs of jeans and this amount of sewing machines?<\/p>\n

\"sewing

The answer was quite simple, I was not entirely satisfied with the product. \u00a0I kept looking for a pair of jeans that would look good and are comfortable, and I kept buying cheap ones in the hope that one day I will find the one. \u00a0I did find a couple, but they never lasted more than a year, and I was left once again hunting for the perfect pair. \u00a0Until one day I had to move to a tropical place. \u00a0My needs changed and with it the need for 12 pairs of jeans. \u00a0If I take 40 dollars and multiply it by 12, I have enough to buy a pair that is made with the best design and shaping capabilities.<\/p>\n

Like the need for a better pair of jeans, our need for a reliable sewing machine arrives in the shape of the mountains of projects forgotten and put aside because we were not happy with the look of the buttonhole or the zigzag doesn't work anymore or the machine is skipping stitches when sewing bulky items, etc. etc. \u00a0Notice how after a marathon of sewing, your domestic sewing\u00a0machine is never quite the same? \u00a0This is because home sewing machines are not meant to be used for an extended period of time. \u00a0Do you want a sewing machine that can do everything? Everything? Really..? What does that even mean? \u00a0Can it attach lining on its own while playing Bach in the background<\/span>? \u00a0There is no such thing as a perfect sewing machine that does everything. \u00a0With time I have learned that 95 percent of the stitches I will never use and that professional-looking buttonhole is everything.<\/p>\n

So now, do you need to buy an industrial sewing machine?<\/h2>\n

Like with many things, the answer is “It depends.” \u00a0You could certainly argue that an industrial sewing machine is what separates the amateurs from the professionals. \u00a0Here are a few other considerations:<\/p>\n
