However, much like a car, a heavy duty sewing machine is an investment and a regular service can help you drastically extend the life of the machine and minimise the cost of repairs. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance are very important if you want your machine to work well for years to come. It is the key factor to avoid common sewing machine problems. However, a machine with a long warranty shows the faith the manufacturers themselves have in that machine and I think that’s a testament to the quality of the machine and the brand itself.Just as the name suggests, heavy-duty sewing machines are designed to be sturdier and more powerful. Their parts are usually made of good, strong materials which can withstand challenging sewing tasks. You can easily distinguish a heavy-duty unit from a standard, domestic-use sewing machine – heavy-duty machines are usually encased in a robust body, which looks and feels much stronger than the typical plastic body of a standard sewing machine. This alone might not seem like a big deal in theory, but after you try working on a heavy-duty machine for the first time, you’ll understand the difference instantaneously. These powerful units are heavier, so they provide additional stability when you work on more ambitious projects. Fabrics You Can Use With a Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine Both the Brother and Singer machines have automatic needle threaders and easy buttonhole stitches. However, since the Brother is a computerized machine, it truly has a one-step buttonhole sewing function. Plus, the Brother has eight different buttonhole styles to choose from. The internal chassis of the Singer Heavy Duty is metal. This rigid support holds all the mechanisms in perfect alignment for perfect, skip-free sewing.
