Portability and Storage

To begin using a double needle coverstitch, you will need a sewing machine that offers this function or an attachment compatible with your existing machine. Select the appropriate needles — double needles usually come in various widths and sizes for different fabric types. Ensure you use the correct thread (generally a combination of regular sewing thread on the top and a stretchy thread in the loopers).

Getting Started

One of the primary advantages of an upholstery hand sewing machine over a regular sewing machine is its portability and ease of use. Upholsterers often find themselves in various settings, whether it's in a workshop, a client's home, or even at events. A hand sewing machine provides the flexibility to work in different environments without being tethered to a large, stationary machine.

Another crucial feature is the longevity and reliability of these motors. They are designed to operate at high speeds for extended periods without overheating or suffering wear and tear. This is vital in a busy industrial environment where downtime can lead to delays and increased costs. Heavy duty motors often incorporate advanced cooling systems and durable components to optimize performance over time.

Moreover, with the rise of eco-friendly sewing practices and sustainable fashions, many makers are turning to upcycling and fabric repurposing projects. The walking foot assists in sewing multiple fabric types together seamlessly, allowing for creativity without compromising on quality.
