BENEFITS OF BUYING A HEAVY DUTY SEWING MACHINE
Not all sewing machines are created equal when it comes to sewing leather. Ideally, you should use a machine that has a heavy-duty capability. Machines that come with a walking foot are particularly beneficial, as they help to move the leather evenly through the machine. For needles, opt for a leather needle or a heavy-duty needle, as these are designed to pierce through thick materials without breaking. A needle size between 90/14 and 110/18 is usually appropriate for most types of leather.
Furthermore, the capability of overlock machines to cut and finish edges simultaneously minimizes the risk of fraying and unraveling. This single-step process ultimately saves time and reduces labor costs, allowing manufacturers to allocate resources more effectively.
