Conclusion

*Due to the higher pricing and an entirely different segment, I did not include any industrial models into this comparison, but in case your budget could extend to several thousand USD, go check it out. My favorite, Janome HD9 is a top-notch professional, industrial sewing machine. Hopefully soon, I'll create a comparison between that one and the corresponding Juki model that's been on my mind for years too.

The Brother ST371HD is another highly rated option that shines in durability and ease of use. This machine is specifically designed for heavier fabrics and comes with 37 built-in stitches, including 1-step auto-size buttonholes. It features a metal needle plate, which is essential for sewing thicker materials, and an adjustable presser foot pressure that allows you to tackle different fabric thicknesses effortlessly. Users love its lightweight design, making it easy to transport to sewing classes or workshops.

Another advantage is the economic benefit. Chain stitching allows for lower sewing costs due to the reduction in material and labor needed to finish garments. Since chain stitches can be repeated easily without complex maneuvering, operators can maintain high productivity levels, leading to better overall profitability for manufacturers.
