A Glimpse into History

What is a Zig Zag Sewing Machine?

The zig zag stitch can be used in a multitude of applications, including securing seams, finishing raw edges to prevent fraying, and creating decorative elements in garments and accessories. Its ability to stretch with the fabric makes it particularly advantageous for sewing knits and stretch fabrics.

3. Consistent Seam Allowances Maintaining a consistent seam allowance is crucial. A variation as small as 1/8 inch can lead to misalignment. Consider using a quarter-inch foot for accuracy, especially in piecing.

Industrial sewing machines can use a lot of energy, especially computerized ones. Select sewing machines that won't overload your circuits when using one in a residential setting. Industrial machines tend to require upwards of 430 watts per hour or more.Generally, people start running into problems when running multiple heavy-duty sewing machines on one power circuit or when using multiple machines off of a single power strip. Before setting up your sewing room, consider the wattage (stickers can be found on most machines) and check with your electrician to ensure you will not be blowing fuses or creating fire hazards. Do you live off the grid and use solar or battery to power your electronics? In that case, you may need to purchase an inverter to configure the right electrical current to avoid causing permanent damage to your motor and other electrical components inside your sewing machine.
