Chain Stitch Sewing An Overview of Technique and Applications
Heavy duty sewing machines have more powerful feed systems with stronger feed dogs to grip and advance heavy fabrics evenly and precisely. The presser foot pressure is often adjustable to ensure proper feeding without slippage. Some heavy duty machines also have walking feet for perfectly even fabric feeding in difficult materials.
For DIY enthusiasts, these machines open up a world of possibilities. Projects such as tote bags, tents, and outdoor cushions become much more manageable. The durability of the stitches produced by these machines ensures that your creations stand the test of time, even when exposed to the elements.
