Professional sewing machines: types and selection

A professional sewing machine is a multifunctional and reliable technique. It is intended mostly for professionals who sew custom-made items. This type of device is slightly different from conventional sewing machines.

Sewing machines can be divided into several types. Each of them has its own characteristics.

This machine is complemented not only by the needle bar, but also by the shuttle mechanism. Together they are responsible for the sewing process.

• Computer. Many people call such machines microprocessor-based. They are the most modern and perfect ones. Such products have a fairly convenient display.
