With what to begin and how correctly to choose the sewing machine?

The question is actual for those who takes a great interest in such remarkable and interesting business as tailoring.

First of all you should be defined, for what purposes you take the sewing machine, namely:

1. I not the fan of sewing business, the sewing machine am necessary to me for the house, from time to time which what to stitch 1,2 times a month.

2. I the fan of sewing business, but sew houses, the sewing machine is necessary to me constantly, I sew all and everything, it very much is pleasant to me, I without mind of that I do and at me it turns out.

3. I professionally am engaged in sewing manufacture, it is my business, and this employment borrows the basic part of my life.
Let's consider under the order each of your possible needs:

1.1 I not the fan of sewing business, the sewing machine am necessary to me for the house, from time to time which what to stitch 1,2 times a month.

You will accept the usual sewing machine with a minimum of opportunities, for an example shall choose the classical sewing machine under the reasonable price, for example janome 521

21 operation, including a loop-semiautomatic device
# the Regulator of length of a stitch
# the Regulator of width зиг-зага
# Additional rise of a clamping paw

# Length of a stitch up to 4мм
# Width of a zigzag up to 5мм
# Rise of a clamping paw up to 11мм
# the Maximal speed 860 rev/min
# Standard accessories

The given machine has the horizontal shuttle, the given kind of the shuttle device differs from the classical, vertical shuttle device a silent course and the minimal noise at work. It is caused by that the design of the given shuttle device has plastic details. It does not affect durability and quality of the sewing machine and a sewing line. It has the majority of the basic functions of modern sewing machines and will quite satisfy both the professional, and the fan, in given clause recommendations with a guarantee, i.e. everything are considered and given, that you want to realize depends not on the equipment, and from your professional skill.

Unique lack, in my opinion, is absence нитезаправителя игольной strings.

Important: I do not advise to take to you "toy", very cheap sewing machines, and the manufacturer here has no value.

For full understanding of the given theme I advise to read further

The list of data modelling of some can be continued about 1000 positions with minuses and pluss. But the purpose of given clause to give the general picture of the modern sewing equipment, and we shall continue further.





2. I the fan of sewing business, but sew houses, the sewing machine is necessary to me constantly, I sew all and everything, it very much is pleasant to me, I without mind of that I do and at me it turns out.

Well, we shall begin, you that or that for whom I work, trying in every possible way to facilitate your process of creativity from the technical and technological party. Perfection does not have a limit, as well as to opportunities of the modern sewing equipment, but all таки, there is no sewing machine which does all operations without exception.

Sewing machines differ by kinds of a processable fabric (excepting special). We shall consider 2 basic of a kind:

1.трикотаж and elastic (capable to be stretched) and

2. Other (cotton, costume, dress, jeans, a leather, including artificial) fabrics.

The basic distinctive feature of these two types:

The jersey and elastic fabrics mean ability to a stretching of seams and a product during socks, for all other fabrics such feature is not necessary, at the same time, you cannot apply the machine to jersey for tailoring usual products.

Let's consider in detail each of these kinds of sewing machines.

For processing jersey

1.1. Плоскошовные sewing machines 3, 4, 5 ниточные sewing machines for processing a bottom of knitted products and mouths, manufacturing шлевок, fringings of edges of a product a slanting inlay. And other.

Various descriptions of sewing machines from the first page and the first position яндекса, but, in essence, sewing machines with absolutely identical functions are given is.

Also notice, everything, that all is told above, the truth!

As to us to understand this artful texture of functions and properties.

Let's begin with terminology:

Directly lower case household sewing machines
1. It is very important to understand, what even in the heaped most up sewing machine with the satellite and navigation, the principle of formation of a line (an interlacing ниток) remains former and nothing differs from 100 years зингера or бабушкиного Podolsk. So all таки, than dear sewing machines from not so dear and differ on what first of all it is necessary to pay the attention?
These are additional finishing lines and figured loops.
Additional lines, probably, will approach you for children's clothes, linen. Their Scope, not looking at a wide range, is extremely limited and in 95 cases never to be applied. Basically it is a marketing course of manufacturers of the sewing machines, allowing to double or treble the price for rather doubtful superiority.
Figured loops:
Professional sewing machines for manufacturing costume loops cost from 230 up to 800 thousand roubles. These machines do only loops!!! And no household sewing machine is capable to make similar, by the household sewing machine it is possible to make imitation of a loop with an eye. Visually it is looked well enough and for not the professional quite enough as it is possible to use in manufacturing loops by household sewing machines thicker and qualitative a thread, visually it is very well looked, but it cannot replace a loop of professional machines of a chain stitch. Not looking at all this, function of various loops in household sewing machines is the most attractive and worthy your attention.

Function of an automatic or electronic tension of strings
Quality and functionality of the given device depends on factory installations, namely, from an opportunity to set as much as possible smaller tension. If the manufacturer in factory adjustments has established a wrong tension игольной strings without intervention of the qualified mechanic you cannot adjust the machine correctly on thin fabrics, it is widespread enough malfunction which is not concerning the category of guarantee repair. What to eliminate this malfunction, it is necessary to disassemble all machine and to correct it mechanically. It is important for work with thin fabrics (шифон, silk, lawn), on costume fabrics and even on dense Õ you do not replace a difference.
How to check up adjustment of this device at purchase of the sewing machine? Simply take with itself a rag of a thin fabric, will expose by the machine the minimal tension of the top string and stitch (2 layers) if the fabric is not pulled together, (collect) and thus the interlacing occurs in the middle of a sewed fabric. You can safely go to cash department. These recommendations are universal and применимы to all sewing machines. The second way means presence of some experience in circulation with sewing machines: Fill a thread, but do not insert it in игольное an aperture, lower a paw of the sewing machine, expose the minimal tension игольной strings and on ощуп, by practical consideration check up a tension игольной strings, changing its value on the display. If you have a sufficient operational experience, you define the necessary tension. All aforesaid применимо to machines with an automatic tension of the top string, but my personal opinion if there is a choice between a manual tension and electronic, it is necessary to prefer a manual (mechanical) way. This adjustment at first sight can seem insignificant, but in practice your mood, quality of your products and finally convenience depends on it in work, whether it is necessary for you to tighten a fabric during sewing, or you is simple, automatically, when pass to more thin fabrics reduce a tension of the top string and there is nothing not thinking sew further.
The given recommendations make sense at correct adjustment gear рейки, the shuttle mechanism, иглодержателя, but here it is meant, that with these parameters at all of you by way of.
The important remark: at сходе strings from the coil or reels should not be additional loadings on игольную a string, it should not for what to cling.
