Household Sewing Machines

Sewing Machine Selection

Whether you'll be using your new domestic sewing machine every day or just now and then, we have the right one for you. We stock all the top brands, such as Juki, BERNINA, Janome, Brother, and more. Each brand has many models with a wide array of features so that you can find the perfect domestic sewing machine that suits your exact home use needs.

• An electronic sewing machine has many plain and fancy stitches for a wide range of projects.
• A computerized sewing machine can change stitch styles and combine stitches. Sometimes it can even create new stitches! Many have a USB port to connect with a computer.
• Sergers trim excess seam allowance and wrap thread around the edge of the fabric all at once. This prevents fraying and gives a finished look. A serger doesn't replace a domestic sewing machine, but it does provide extra features for home use.
• Embroidery machines sew letters and designs onto shirts, mittens, pants, and more. Software and design collections are in stock to expand your artistry.
• Long arm quilting machines are unique. The head of the machine moves while the fabric stays still. This is ideal for king size quilts. No need to wrestle a bulky project into place! Quilting machines are strong enough to handle the many layers in a quilt sandwich.
• Felting machines sew yarn or fabric to fabric without using thread. Really! You'll get a great looking 3-D result. Felting is also known as embellishing.

5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Purchasing a Sewing Machine for Home Use

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced home sewing machines user, narrowing down choices can be overwhelming. Here are 5 questions that can help you choose the perfect new home sewing machine:

1. Are you purchasing a sewing machine for a specific purpose? Your choice can greatly differ if you are focusing on simple tailoring, embroidery, or home décor projects. For example, machines with a free arm or a blind hemming stitch and foot make hemming more convenient. Purchasing a domestic sewing machine that fits your purpose can greatly help create the best results.
2. What type of fabric do you usually use in your projects? This is an important factor to consider because thicker fabric and upholstery material require machines with powerful motor that can handle multi-layers of material.
3. How much noise can you handle? Some brands make more noise than others. Keep in mind that heavy-duty sewing machines usually make more noise than simple tailoring options.
4. What extra features are you looking for? Certain manufacturers specialize in non-standard options such as automatic needle threader, speed control, stitch pattern customization, computer synchronization ability, and automatic embroidery work.
5. What is your budget? Sewing machines for home use can go as low as $50 to upwards of $13,000 depending on parts and motor materials as well as the features that are included. The most important thing is to splurge for the most expensive machine you can afford so that you do not easily outgrow your machine and need to purchase a higher model within a year or two.
