Domestic, semi-pro or industrial sewing machine? Choose the right one

It would seem almost obvious to define these three categories of sewing machines.

The first is correct for simple home needs, the second offers superior performance and possibilities by placing itself in an almost professional position and the specific one for laboratories, capable of superior performance, however narrowing the cone of functions.

In fact, the further one moves away from the machine for domestic use, the more one enters into the specificity of a sewing operation inside a line, at the end of which we find the finished garment.

Thus, if the machine for domestic use offers some alternative stitches, in the case of the semi-pro machine these will be much less until they are reduced to one or maximum two in the industrial machine.

At the purchasing time the question we must ask ourselves is: "What do I really need it for?"

It is not possible to choose the best of the categories listed here because the best does not exist. Instead, there is the category of machines that meets our needs more than the others.

The sewing machine for domestic use is ideal for the beginner, the hobbyist or one who wants to be independent for small tailoring jobs.

If, on the other hand, you intend to take a leap forward and make more intense use of the sewing machine or you are passionate about a specific type of work, there is no doubt that the handcrafted machine offers those characteristics of sturdiness and speed which are requests from those who have acquired a certain experience and competence.

Finally, if sewing is a passion that’s delivering us to a professional position and the use of the sewing machine is intense and daily, it will not only be suggestion but it will become a necessity to have a machine with characteristics such as to be able to meet these needs.

As I said, in this case, it will be almost mandatory to acquire two or three machines in order to compose that range of functions which are the direct consequence of the goals set.

In any case, the best choice and suggestion can only be given by a supplier who can offer the widest range of opportunities and who can guarantee the quality and accuracy of machine preparation.
