Home Sewing Machines and Accessories

Most home sewing machines are suitable for all softer interior and garment fabrics up to denim, but not for heavier fabrics such as exterior canvas, hard vinyl and stiff leather. The limitations of any home sewing machine are the 1/4" or more foot lift to insert and remove fabrics, the limited size of needles/eyes (size 18) and thread (regular, but no thick upholstery thread which will jam the machine) and motors up to 90 Watts. See our Industrial Sewing Machines for exterior fabrics.
