If you're interested in getting a 'replacement' machine to the domestic then look into a Bernina 950. Its got the abilities of a domestic with industrial power and reliability. the only problem is it is only available second hand.

Very good intro to industrial machines video. I would add a few points: 1. Industrial machines are designed to be setup for an operation and infrequently changed. As you note in manufacturing you'd have a bunch of machines and each one does a task. This means that most (not all) are pretty hard to set up. What do I mean by that? If you have a high end home machine you set a dial or buttons or something and the machine does that task. Want to go from a 2mm stitch to a 4mm stitch easy as a setting knob. Industrial machines are not straight forward like that. Many of them don't have indexed stitch lengths (older/simpler models) and if you are really unlucky the reverse stitch length is independent the forward stitch length. The more automated the machine like yours becomes the more complex setup is in it's computer. 2. Industrial machines assume that you have a tech that maintains them. They don't like to sit unused, they'd rather be working day and night. They also require regular inspection and tune ups. Just like your car requires visits to the mechanic. Your industrial machine wants to be cleaned, oiled and inspected. The older the machine the more you have to know to do these things. If you want to use an industrial sewing machine you should also want to become very acquainted with maintaining it. Home machines are maintenance free, well mostly. 3. Industrial machines are not built with home hobby sewers in mind. As you point out you went to school for this. Most home hobbyists didn't and wont. The industrial machine assumes you have a whole support system behind it. They also assume you know what your doing form day one. My Pfaff 1222E manual will practically teach you how to sew. It has examples and pictures and even some projects to help you learn to use it. Industrial machines you will get some thin explanations and lots of exploded diagrams. Don't try to learn to sew on an industrial machine unless you have help or are very patient. 4. Industrial machines are very very fun to own and tinker with. If you want a fancy computer controlled servo and your old machine doesn't have one. Most of the time for a few hundred dollars and some effort you can change out the clutched motor for a servo motor. If you have a walking foot machine and you don't want it to walk, well that is just some wrench and screw driver work away. You can tune an industrial machine to do exactly what you want it to do. They are awesome in that respect.

HI, engineer here. Clutch vs Servo basically boils down to this: Clutch motor, the electric motor is always running and the foot pedal just engages the clutch the transfer motor power to the machine. It's exactly like the clutch in a manual shift car. A servo motor is pretty sophisticated and allows for smart control circuitry. The servo only draws power when needed AND the electronics inside it know the exact position of the motor. As a result, a servo can very precisely do things like advance two stitches or backstitch 3 stitches even at its full load (say heavy thread in leather). A clutch will not offer that kind of precision, especially at higher loads. Servo motors run off DC electricity, so they must have some kind of rectifier on board to convert the AC wall current to DC wall current. A clutch motor, by contrast, is an induction motor and runs natively on the AC coming out of the wall receptacle.

Beat me to it... I was gonna step in and explain. But, you've done a might fine job of that already. Folks may be wondering as to why the difference. Back before electronics, everything was either on at full power or off. Engineering wise, it's extremely difficult, expensive, and complicated to design something that does multiple speed and power settings. In a clutch set up, the old "electronics" are just sophisticated enough to keep the motor running at full power all the time. A mechanical clutch engages and disengages at the operator's discretion to pull power off that spinning motor and transfer it to the task-at-hand -- the actual sewing process. Servo, stepper, VFD (variable frequency drive), etc., motors have complex electronic control circuitry which modulates and/or massages the power going to the motor so it can be controlled in a more direct fashion. Clear as mud?

Safety is important. When changing the needle or foot on the machine best to turn it off and take your foot off the petal. If you don't wear glasses, consider wearing safety glasses. Also a good mechanic is your best friend 👍❤🇨🇦

When I took my sewing course at the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering (CFSATE), we were taught to unplug our machines before any maintenance. I also took their Juki Sewing Machine Repair course. Now that I’m out of the military, I’d very much like to have my own Juki sewing machine. I could make tonnes of money just sewing up webbing into tow straps. I refuse to make masks.

Industrials are great! My introduction to industrial sewing machines came while studying costume design in the mid 1970's. There were several in the costume shop, all between 5 to 50 years old. They all stitched really really fast. Quite soon I learned to love them. I had really learned to sew on a Singer 99 treadle that was rescued from a trash pile. It's drawers were full of mysterious attachments; a mechanical contraption that made ruffles and something that pierced fabric that took me ages to figure out. Naturally, there was no instruction manual. When I struck out on my own my sewing machine collection included my old treadle, my mothers pilfered Singer 216G, and an industrial, a gorgeous 31-15. This one was electric, a dawn of the electric age wonder. Twisted cloth wire, rotary power switch. It could sew right through a finger, and did once. I used all of the machines. Long seems meant the industrial. The 216G made beautiful button holes, with the Singer buttonhole attachment. The zig-zag feature was also fantastic. I really liked the 31-15 as it was intended for tailors, so it handled theatrical costuming with ease. Really, owning an industrial is all about figuring out what type of sewing you want it to do, than matching the machine to your needs. And budget.

HAH! Keith back in 1992 at a rummage sale in town, for TEN DOLLARS I bought a "Singer 201" that was basically the "99" Revamped for electric and has a Gear Driven Motor and a Top "Drop In" bobbin. Singer made it Portable and was intended for "Military Use" because it is a VERY Heavy Duty Machine! I can pound through Heavy Fabrics and Boot Leather with ease! I've had to have it "Tuned" a few times... But it STILL WORKS AWESOMELY!!! The "201" was designed to handle fixing Tents, Uniforms and OTHER "Heavy Duty" projects! But ALSO made to be Portable for use in the field and at one time, EVERY Military Unit in the US From the Regular Armed forces to the Reserves, and even some "Scout" groups! Singer made it from the late 30's to the mid-60's and are still available if you care to find one! It is a VERY BASIC Machine! It's made to got "Forward and Backwards" and that's IT! But if you REALLY WANT Something Heavy Duty and want it Portable... the "201" is the BEAST to GET! :D Joe

I do not have an industrial machine nor do I plan on getting one, however I have always been curious about them and I really enjoyed learning the in's and outs of your machine. Thanks.

I just received my new Singer machine which will be used primarily for hobbycraft and repairing clothing and I now have to buy the accessories needed to operate it. I am an amateur and will be using it as a hobby primarily.

Thank you very much, good to know that not all industrial machines are intended for "heavy duty" applications as well as a thump "test" to give an indication of when a machine is near its limits.

I love how excited you are to share your knowledge with us

Oh very cool. I have no use for an industrial sewing machine in my own life at the moment, but I love learning about machines and how they work, so thank you for sharing!

I've been sewing for 34 years, 13 of which have been in business. I went to look at industrial machines today, which now I can't believe it has taken me this long. This has been the most helpful video I've seen so far. I appreciate the information.

Okay, I thought it was weird that industrial machines don't disengage the needle when winding bobbins like home machines do. But the idea of constantly winding a bobbin as you sew makes so much sense. Since you wind at the same rate as you deplete the one you're using, the new one fills up at the same time as the old one empties. Brilliant.

Thank you SO much for this video! I manage a leather supply store that sells leather specific sewing machines and you answered a ton of questions that I get asked frequently. A lot of people assume that industrial automatically equals heavy duty so thank you for giving such clear distinctions!!

I love this video. You are so right. I thought an industrial would replace a domestic machine. You saved me from a huge unnecessary expense. Since I sew only for myself and family, I don't need the extra speed. Thank you, thank you, thank you....

Hooray! You gave us this video on your new Juki so quickly. Thank you. Learned a lot. To view your videos is always a pleasure, rather like inviting a good friend over for tea.

I recently got an industrial for heavy duty materials and leather, a Juki triple feed DNU-1541S. I plan to use it for upholstery, bags, belts, dog collars and leashes. So far I used it for belts and multiple layers of heavy denim on a binding. I recently got a 1952 Singer 201-2 for straight stitching. It sews beautifully!! I have a Brother Quattro domestic sewing/embroidery machine for anything fancy. I also have a Brother serger and Juki coverstitch. I plan to get a vintage Singer 301a portable to round out my collection. I'm loving the vintage Singers!! I use all of my machines and each for a different purpose.

I have a 2nd hand 30 yr old Singer 591 single needle lockstitch industrial machine and I absolutely love sewing with it. I finished a quilt in two days! I recently have been mass producing face masks and there is no way I would have done it with my domestic machine. I originally bought it to make dog collars, but use it for everything. I recently bought a 2nd hand industrial walking foot machine but have not used it yet. I have a domestic serger for finishing raw edges. Thank you for sharing.

The Juki straight stitch machine and also the over lock machine I ran for over 10 years for Sealy mattress. Some people didn’t know how to thread up the overlock so I was usually called to do that. I also ran the machine a lot. The straight stitch machine was a great machine to run also. On our machines we stood to sew all day. I also worked in furniture factories before that running juki and consew model machines mainly. The best industrial sewing machine you can buy by far is the consew 206 it’s a triple walking foot it can sew leather, sometimes even brand new you can find it for $1500.

I've always been curious about industrial machines, not that I ever wanted one, I don't. But thank you so much for showing us yours! I sew for the enjoyment of it and have a large domestic machine with all those lovely functions too - a very large throat space, the back-tac and cut, an auto foot lift, long stitches for basting, etc. Obviously it isn't as fast or built to last as long as an industrial unit, but It's perfect for me and as I think you said (perhaps in different words) one needs a machine that meet one's own needs. Buying an expensive machine with lots of "bells & whistles" just for the sake of having it makes no sense, particularly if one ends up not using it as intended. I LOVE sewing all kinds of different things, from quilts to handbags, to microwave bowl cozies and clothing. I'd probably go into withdrawal if I couldn't sew!!! Your videos are delightful.

I have a Tacsew t-111-155 industrial straight stitch that is made for canvas, leather, and very thick fabrics. Purchased second hand barely used for $400.00 with table, head, bobbins, needles and oil. Guy was moving cross country and needed to get rid of it asap. I got a great deal and this puppy means business when you floor it with the servo motor.

I had Juki 9000SS and it’s amazing. I bought a lot of accessories for hem finishing with different size. Like double folds, bias binding , and different presser foot. Now I bought another one juki 391N lockstich,zigzag and embroidery. I think I can use it properly. My goal is to lean machine embroidery Manually. So far I have 2 industrial machine with my very small space. The reason I found it’s totally different with domestic machines.I also have collections of antique sewing machines.

I have an older Juki industrial machine(servo motor)that I use for straight stitching on dressmaking fabric and for quilting pieces together. I love using it, everything goes so much faster. I would love to get the 9000B, so maybe in the future. Thanks for showing us your machines.

I have a Juki 8700 industrial machine. Absolutely love it. I design and make quilts and other items that require straight line sewing. This machine is amazing for getting that done.

I have used an industrial machine once and yes they are fast for me I I will be sticking to my normal sewing machines mine have sentimental value to them so I could never replace them . If I could afford and have a place to put one I probably would invest in one but my machines are here to stay .

This may be inappropriate, but lord, you are absolutely beautiful (yes the accent too - being from the US). As an engineer learning how to use industrial sewing machines for larger-volume sewing, your videos are most helpful, thank you!

Thanks A Lot for the complete information about the various types of sewing machines, as well as the best type to choose for individual sewing needs.

Hello Evelyn, I got a used Industrial 9000D sewing machine this week. I purchased it from a factory that had a location to close and they were selling those machines. I have not used it yet as I have some wiring issues to take care in my sewing room to accommodate the industrial machine. It also has the automatic features of tacks at beginning and ending of seams as will as cutting the thread. I can't wait to use it! I love your videos, keep up the great work!!! Donna in North Carolina, USA

I loved your smile the whole time you where explaining and showing everything about your new machine! I can tell that you are really passionate about sewing and it makes me excited!

Great video explaining industrial machines. I use a Juki 8700 H, a heavy duty version for denim, canvas and webbing. I can switch feed dogs and needle plate and do silk also. It is the slower version and only does four thousand stitches a minute instead of six thousand. I have several older mechanical Singers, and my favorite is a 92 year old model 99, So .... you have to decide what you are going to sew before you select a machine. I have different machines for different purposes. Oh, and I have one overlock machine. Your videos has been extremely helpful as I learn to do sewing for my wife.

I’m a Bernina girl. The quality is fantastic as is the range of features. I definitely understand the appeal of something g like your new Juki and if there were no Berninas I would consider one

My grandmother's Singer Treadle sewing machine from the early 50's sews leather, denim, canvas, anything! I inherited it in 1981 and I can't justify the cost of an industrial machine.

Thanks! First visit for me. I doubt I need an industrial sewing machine but you cleared up some questions I had. The Juki looks good. There are some manual machines with manual oiling that are a bit cheaper. If I get one, it would be to sew leather for various projects. Love your 'period' look and makeup.

I am still using my Industrial Juki DDL 227 straight sewer that I bought 40 years ago 2nd hand. It still sews as well as it did when I bought it. A small tip for anyone buying industrial machine for the first time - pop a piece of foam rubber under the go pedal until you get used to the speed if it doesn't have that fancy speed control feature.

I have a custom leather shop and own 3 Industrial sewing machines...an Adler 205 (a giant of a machine), a Pfaff 145 walking foot and a Necchi BV straight stitcher. I have changed out the clutch motor on my Pfaff to a Servo. Doing that has made it easier to control the speed and cut down on the noise. The Adler and Necchi still are run with the clutch motors. I am in the midst of changing out the clutch motor on my Industrial skiving machine to a servo motor to both slow it down and make it easier on the ears! Love those servo motors! I have seen those computerized industrials like you have and the features look amazing! :)

I just got the pq1500sl for Christmas. It's a domestic but it's a profession straight stitch with some pretty nice features. Does 1500 stitches a minute. It has an auto needle threader, and thread cutter and it stops in needle down unless you tell it not to. It's amazing and mostly steel parts. Made by brother

Evelyn, you're so lovely talking about industrial sewing machines.

I have been using a Juki 1910 for 15 years now. We run it 20 hours per day( no joke). It runs perfectly till this day. The only thing that typically messes it up it thread that is factory wound badly on the spool will yank on the bobbin case, and yank it out of alignment. Other than that, we put oil in about once a month or so ,and it's a work horse.

Great video Evelyn! I have a very old Singer 20U which, while old and rattly, still functions well and also.... does straight stitch and zig zag! It needs a service and doesn't have the sexy functions like heel off or needle down, but it is easy to control the speed, so fast or slow is fine. I have recently started fashion college (after 50 plus years of sewing) so am enjoying using the fab machines there. So quiet and smooth. I'll stick with my grande dame machine for now (and my Janome Skyline S7), but will eventually look for a 2nd hand Juki at some point. I sew as a hobby but want to move it to business level through markets and then who knows where. I love your business model and only wish I had had the chutzpah to do what you're doing 20 years ago.

I have Berninas which are fabulous. I did have a bad experience with their top of the range over- and covetlock machine. I wasted many hours andcthread trying to get the damn thing to work. I finally gave up and bought a Baby Lock over- and coverstitch machine. Works like a dream

I’m considering an industrial machine & stumbled on your video.... I loved it! Your video was awesome. So informative. I was going into it blind and you really opened my eyes. I’m going to look at an older industrial Juki I found for sale and now I will know so much more to look for. Thank you so much. :)

I have a Jones 553, (I believe it's 1960s),. It's metal, heavy and was listed as 'semi-industrial'; straight, zig-zag and button hole. When lubed it ticks like a watch and fabric tracks arrow-straight. I found it in a charity shop and gave £10.

Difficulty I have in choosing an industrial is wanting to have one for Fabric and one for heavy duty but no space for either. So for now I use my vintage and modern machines as best I can. Purely, I hasten to add for my own pleasure and not commercially.

What a lovely machine! I have just bought a Brother machine and love it. But I'm still keeping my Bernina 1230 (nearly 30 years old!) - have put her in for a service.

Blown over by this video, The explanations and the meaning and use of industrials, love them, can never go back to domestic.

HI Evelyn ! At first excuse my bad english, thank you for this video it's very kind of you to explain, not only how it works but also who need an industriel machine! i'm thinking a lot about that , i'm a sew, i've create my little business about two years ago , i sew for my customer all they want , made on measures, i give sewing lessons, and i dress all my family, i've many domestical sewing machine (toyota for leathers, brother innovis for embroidery, an high tech bernina very expenseive (whose's never work!!!) ) an overlock( babylock enleigthen) and a brother coverstich ... it's seems ok but i'ts not....because even if the bernina sew 1250 pts/min sometime im about to sleep!!! i need a faster one! Then, you helped to choose , and being sure ! i'd like to say, waouhhhh! you're incredible , you're juste like snow white !!! i love retro , burlesque, my favorite one is steampunk.... this is what i created...when someone ask me for , for shows, for weddings, for medieval festivals.... of course, this year ... i've dont made a lot of costumes.... but, i filled my business activity with student by visio, and for luck, it's work! thank you for this vidéo , to shorten it , i've to choose the juki 7000b or the kingtex8520M ;;;; I'll say what one i've prefer ... have a nice week end! best regards!

I know this is an old video but thank you, Evelyn, for this informative video, just what I've bee looking for in my research. I am thinking of you as you are going through this tough fight ... warm and healing thoughts your way.

Thank you for explaining that. When I still had my wonky machine, I would design the patterns, make a willy wonka mock-up and once all seemed to work and fit, I would take it to a seamstress who has an industrial machine. Because the garments came out so stunning, I assumed it was the machine (forgetting the skills of the seamstress who had worked in a bridal boutique before). So naturally that was on my wish list. But now I am sure that if I scroll through your videos, I will most probably find a comparison of "normal" machines, and that is where I would be meeting my future soulmate😉

I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the Juki-9000C-SMS. I cannot wait to recieve it. it's coming g next week. I had to m one a few tannin gs out to make room for the new machine. I'm so excited!!!!!

YAY!! Thank you. It's intriguing, The most surprising thing is how much "better" a domestic machine is for home sewing. Love this, very informative!

I have a Pfaff 1245 industrial that is new & i have a Pfaff varimatic 6091. I'm a beginner at all this & hope i will finally learn & get comfortable at stitching on both machines. Today i was finally going to practice on the industrial,looked & the reservoir that holds the oil is all out & I don't have any. I believe the machine is leaking on the floor more than the normal. So I guess i won't be practicing a spider web stitch design on leather today. I will most likely be using my industrial machine for leather goods & upholstery in the future,my smaller machine for denim. I'll probably alter clothes i have saved up over the years. So glad that there is KZread to look up anything you need to know or learn. I'm sure i will own many more machines in the future.

That's it, I want a Juki... You should absolutely be a Juki salesperson. You sold me!! :)

My dear Evelyn, with this tutorial I understood that I don't need an industrial sewing machine. I was ready to purchase an industrial machine, but I watched this video, and I realize that I don't have the room for one, neither I need it. I saved a lot of money and pain. Thank you very much!

I just found out a friend had an industrial machine, and she's giving it to me! Very excited.

Wow...what a delightful presenter...you could make anything interesting. Super content also, wonderful!!!

Charlotte here. I have a cast iron Juki Baby Lock that does the overcast stitching. It cuts fabric as you sew. I love the machine. It is portable and not attached to a table. It might be old but it is a jewel. Debating about buying another similar machine to replace it. The sergers make clothes look so much more finished and professional.

Hi Evelyn! Great presentation, I really learned a lot. I had a feeling that industrial sewing machines were simply magical! Wow, thank you for educating me. Happy stitching!✂️🧵✂️

I aspire to be a wedding dress designer and at the moment my Bernina 1030 is sufficient for the corsets and dresses I want and going to make. It may in the future only lack speed and throat space. I liked the video and all the automatic functions. I think I will need AND want definitely an industrial sewing machine in the future. Luckily I have a sewing machine shop in my small city who also sells second hand industrials. I cannot wait to shop there when the time is right😍

I love my Juki. I have a few others for coverstitch, overlock, a commercial Viking that makes perfect button holes… but really most of the things I do are straight lockstitch.

I just discovered you today! I’m bingeing through all of your videos. So helpful!

Evelyn I bought one today because of you. Your words were the decider. I picked it up an hour ago and I’m resting to go . I got the DDL 8700 yippeeee 🥳thank you x

😃😃😃😃 Enjoy!!!

I just bought juki ddl8500, this is just the only one available in our place! Hope this machine helps a lot for my sewing needs!

I have a Husqvarna Viking Rose which was about $2300 in the early 2000s. I bought it to embroidery and do basic sewing like quilts and clothing. In 2020 I bought a Janome Q200 to help make face masks in addition to my other machine. Earlier this year I started bag making and invested in a Juki TL 2000 QI. I also forgot to mention I also have an older White serger. I would love to have an industrial to sew much thicker fabrics especially when you get thicker seams, but unfortunately I don’t have the space. I sew in my bedroom.

It’s something I would love, simply because I sew jeans weight fabric as well as light fabric like silk. But I’ve already invested serious money in my Babylock Evolution overlocker/coverstitch machine and my Brother Dreamweaver. I have to change my throat plate for straight stitching on delicate fabrics. My Brother also does auto backtrack and thread cutting and has a knee lift. It has a huge throat area and an large attachable table. I love it. Thanks so much for showing us your new Juki. That brand also seems to be a popular domestic machine.

Thank you so much for this video. I would love one of these machines in my fantasy sewing room. Haha. It's something I'm always on the lookout for when I thrift shop. Old machines and patterns.

I was introduced to industrial sewing machines ten years ago at work in an industrial laundry. After seeing how smoothly and quietly they ran in the sewing room there, I was intrigued. About a year ago, I started working in that sewing room having not sewn on a machine since home economics class in middle school. Turns out, I'm pretty good at it! Using an industrial five thread overlock for the first time was especially entertaining! They seemed so complex, I was curious to know how they worked. Fast forward a few months and I bought my own 40 year old Juki five thread, 70 year old Merrow three thread, and a Pfaff 461 from 1962. Being mechanically inclined, I've now rebuilt four industrial sewing machines, all of mine included. The sewing room ladies are quite envious that I get to use industrial machines at home! And knee lifts! Yes! I can't use a domestic sewing machine without going for the knee lift and realising that it isn't there! I don't know how people can live without them!

I had an industrial machine with a walking foot and a servo motor, specifically a saddle making machine, when we had a horse stable so I could create custom pads and do horse blanket and tack repairs. It did a straight front and reverse stitch, no automatic functions. I had a speed control thingy to slow it down a bit (sorry, forgot the name of that thing but without it I could not use it). I bought the machine on eBay new but contacted the seller (who had a saddle and machine shop) prior to purchasing and he handled all my questions, also replaced the servo motor free of cost when that died early on. I used it to death and when we closed the stable I retired the machine. It more than paid for itself as I also repaired tack and blankets for other horse stables at the track. At retirement it needed a tune up and repair and I could not justify the cost to have a repair person come here to work on it since it was not a machine that travels. It is now in pieces in the farm shop where my husband has repurposed some of the parts. I have 4 domestic machines (3 Janomes and a White serger) and my household and clothing sewing needs are met in surplus. I still use that big sturdy machine table.

A couple of years ago I bought one used, tried it many times but it was just too fast! It was a straight and zigzag stitch Singer.... I sold it last year and I bought a domestic Singer heavy duty and I love it! TFS, you can tell you are so happy!

I,m glad that you mentioned that the "Industrial machine" label does not mean it can sew leather for example. I have tried a Sailrite clone from Ebay, a Janome HD3000 (as marketed by Tandy leather) and eventually just bit the bullet and purchased a Cobra class 3. It can handle vegtan leather without missing a beat. Such machines do come with a learning curve and are expensive, but can handle the job.

I Love this lady looks so beautiful with her vintage lady outfit and hair. Really pretty god bless you and thanks for the great Tutorials

I’m insanely jealous! I miss my old sample room job and the access it gave me to industrial machines- everything at my fingertips, as well as industrial steam irons and the heat press for iron on interfacing.

Oh yeah! I often used to take my own ironing pile into work (to do after hours, obviously!)... not to mention things that needed tricky alterations. It was wonderful.

Thanks for explaining that,you can see the excitement you feel for the machine.

Dear Evelyn, I very much enjoyed this video. I have always enjoyed one machine at one time. I love to sew but do not sew very much anymore. I started when I was in jr high (many, many moons ago) and taking home ec class. I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for sharing and God bless you❣️

Oh wow that was so helpful, I'm glad I found this. I do a bit of sewing and love to make my own outfits. I have a Singer Heavy Duty but it's really still a domestic machine and I have been wishing I could one day get something that would handle those thick fabrics and difficult areas a bit easier... I've even dreamed of getting something that would do leather, but it was so helpful to know about the variations and specific purposes for the various industrial machines. Thankyou...

I love sewing machines..this was awesome. I have had an eye out for a good machine and while I do not have the money nor the place, I hope to get one day. but I also must have a need for them

Thanks a lot for this information. Yes, it is a must to get several industrial machines. My mother used to have an older industrial straight stitch and a heavy duty for leather. Since we are starting a business sewing a myriad of items, it is necessary to have the proper equipment.The one you are showing is what we need plus a heavy duty. Since you have shown this video, I don't have to search around but can see what this one does.

Thank you for another great upload! Very informative. I have a beautiful old Singer that my grandmother used all the time. It still works like a charm. It can sew through anything, I mean anything, never hesitating. I'm guessing it's like a very old semi industrial? It only has straight stitch, weighs a ton and it used to be built in a table. Then I have a bunch of other machines too, ofcourse. A Singer patchwork, a Bernina record 930, a Janome cover pro 1000, Janome MyLock 204D and my Bernina 1100D over locker. I love all my machines, they are all great and such a mindblowing invention.

I hawe a few similar machines, Husquvarna and later Singer models are pretty similar (wery earlyer Singer hawe a weaker lever construction) You can use them for double layer canvas, thin leather, etc, but they are not built as leater sewing machines or for heavy canvas in many layers. (but i hawe tried three layer of old army canvas and it worked but the machine had to work, older motors, if it's motorconverted in the 50 or 60s can not realy handle that, but if it's still handcranked it can) My father hawe a real leatherworking machine, a wery old, handcraked Saddle makers model, after grandfather, its' i think twice or three time bigger even compared to those machines i think You talk about here, but it's for things like sadle lining leather padding, raw hide, etc. Wich realy do strech the limit of all existing machines, and i hawe to use a pretty heavy hammer to doing those jobs by hand... So i think Your machine will do, use some good quality paraffin additive sewingmachine oil in the beginning if the old crusted oil need to be softenen up before using, then You can swith ower to regular light spindle oil or normal sewingmachine oil. Also clean of old dust if it has pstacked up in the layers and levers, it wil make a huge differense when You run the machine, kinda messy job, but worth it and it's one time job if Ypu doing it properly.

When I was a fashion major in college, I learned on an industrial sewing machine, we had a whole bunch of them and they’re intimidating at first but I love them I use an upholstery and apparel machine here at work would love one at home too!!!!
