Janome has brought you one of the coolest machines regarding the design part, and I am more than thrilled when I use this black edition, which shines my whole atelier.

There are a few things that you should know about this machine besides the fact that it has an impressive design. This machine is very powerful, as it works with a very robust motor and deals amazingly with any kind of fabric.

The special thing this machine has is the built-in needle threader, which allows you to work easily and securely without losing your time. In general, it is a fast machine, but not the fastest that you can find, regarding the stitching speed.

When using a Singer machine, nothing can go wrong, and the Singer 4432 is one to check out. I have used this machine for some time and am more than satisfied with it!

What To Take Into Consideration: Buyer’s Guide

Considering the fact that heavy-duty sewing machines are somehow different from regular sewing machines, I would like to mention to you some of the main things that you have to consider. They include the stitches and the speed!

Number of Stitches

Stitches are basically the things that make a sewing machine usable! You will find different stitches in different sewing machines, but the ones that have more stitches built-in are definitely the greatest ones that you can use.

All the heavy-duty sewing machines that I mentioned above in this article, are all some of the greatest ones and they have a super-considerable number of built-in stitches.

Stitching Speed

Now that you know the stitches, the only thing left to mention is the stitching speed that a specific machine has, and a machine with a stitching speed over 1000 spm (stitches per minute) is always better! You should always have in mind that speed is one of the things that is needed when working on a thick material, which is the main purpose of a heavy-duty sewing machine.

Price

Something else that is quite important and deserves to be considered about heavy-duty sewing machines is the price tag that they come at! Whenever searching on the market, you will find out that there are both high-end and low-priced heavy-duty machines, but still their functions are pretty similar. I would recommend you to choose all based on you and the budget that you have chosen to spend on a heavy-duty machine. Having a price tag in mind, before choosing the machine, always eases your job!
