Maintenance and Care for Heavy Duty Sewing Machines

The applications of double needle walking foot industrial sewing machines are vast. In the garment industry, they are commonly used for sewing hems, seams, and decorative stitches on a wide range of clothing items, from shirts to jackets. In upholstery, these machines are invaluable for creating strong seams in sofas, chairs, and other furniture pieces that require durability. Additionally, they find utility in leather goods production, where the quality of stitching is paramount for both aesthetic and functional reasons.

As you sew, keep a consistent distance from the edges of the leather. A standard distance is about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch, depending on the project requirements. Using a ruler or spacing tool can aid in achieving uniformity, especially for larger projects. Moreover, always keep the needle perpendicular to the leather to prevent it from slipping, which can lead to uneven stitches or damage.

A long upholstery needle is typically characterized by its extended length and robust build. Unlike regular sewing needles, upholstery needles are designed specifically for working with thick fabrics, multiple layers, and padding materials often found in furniture upholstery. The length of these needles allows for better reach into deep seams and tough-to-reach areas. They also come with a tapered point, making it easier to penetrate heavier materials without causing damage.

Which control box do I need? Generally speaking, pump control boxes are selected by matching them to the horsepower, voltage, and phase of your submersible motor. Most all traditional systems are going to be single phase 230-volt applications so in most instances it comes down to matching them to the horsepower. In situations when there is overlap such as the 1hp models you can choose a QD or Standard control box. The choice usually comes down to preference. The QD box may be cheaper but the standard box will provide more room for wiring and has overload protection built in.

What is self-amalgamating tape made from?

Self-amalgamating tape is very similar to silicone tape, because it bonds to itself when it is stretched. It doesn’t contain any adhesive or gum to create a seal like most tapes. It is made of ethylene propylene rubber and needs to be lapped over itself to work.
