It begins with the fact that the machines are of three types:
-Mechanical;
- Electrical;
Electromechanical.
Mechanical require the constant participation of seamstresses, and run using a manual drive, which is why they have already sunk into oblivion. Electromechanicals are machines of the initial level, and electric ones will be needed by professionals, they are equipped with a microprocessor and most operations on them are performed many times faster.
We proceed to select a machine. If you are already familiar with sewing on hand, and you need a machine for simple operations, for example, in order to sew the trousers, shorten the skirt, sew a piece of simple cut or sew bed linens, then you should choose an electromechanical machine.
Electromechanics should be selected according to the following criteria:
-to the shuttle;
- by the number of types of stitches;
- the height of the foot.
Shuttles, where the lower thread runs, are horizontal and vertical. It is better to choose the first, because the horizontal shuttles are suitable for beginners, produce less noise, are more convenient for threading and care, with them it is easier to change the bobbin. Therefore, they are more popular in the sewing machine market. Vertical shuttles are used in industrial production and when sewing dense fabrics.
The number of lines on your future machine depends on your budget and can be from 2 to several hundred pieces. Here it is better for the buyer to decide for himself whether he needs an extra fifteen stitches, or he will have the standard straight line and zigzag. It is worth noting that on some expensive typewriters there are seams, with which you can make small embroideries, with which you can decorate clothes, curtains and underwear. Be sure to pay attention to the height of the foot, so if it will fit too tightly, then the line will turn out to be a curve and the sewing process itself will be heavier. If you are interested in embroidery, then pay attention to the presence of the function of moving the fabric, with it, their execution will be easier, but the machines with this function are not the cheapest.
Be interested in friends, what sewing machines look like in their opinion, evaluate the design of the device, be interested in the bundling and the presence of additional accessories, such as walking paws or legs for sewing lightning.
If we talk about firms, it will be better if your choice falls on a well-known brand. For example, Brother, Singer, Janone, Elegance, Boutique-s. These manufacturers are good at making sewing machines at their own factories, their products are good in price and quality, good service and spare parts are always available.
Weighty plus automation - nice additional features:
-Liquid-crystal displays, on which the whole process of sewing is displayed;
- a system of tips in Russian, which facilitates the process of sewing and teaching him;
-System of self-defense, allowing to avoid injury to a person or, for example, breakage of the paw and breakdown of the entire machine as a whole.
On such machines it is easy to learn sewing to beginners who were not familiar with the process before, and they give great opportunities and convenience for seamstresses with experience. We hasten to notice that if you are a beginner and started with an electromechanical sewing machine, it is quite possible that such an outcome of the events will lead you to sewing so much that you will want more and more complex works of a higher level, then you will need already in the electric machine, and the old electromechanics at best will remain on the shelf or will be given to someone from friends or relatives. Considering this situation, the purchase of a multifunctional electric sewing machine looks even more attractive. Is not it easier then to immediately buy an electric car, thus avoiding unnecessary expenditure and worries? The buyer should answer this question himself, because he already knows how to choose a simple sewing machine correctly.
