Sewing Machines

ABOUT

Since Tomas Saint invented the first sewing machine in 1720, through to Walter Hunt 1830 who invented the “Lock Stitch”, sewing machine technology has improved immensely. Today there are lots of sewing machine varieties from your simple mechanical machine to the high end computerised sewing machines.

There is basically 3 main categories:
1. Industrial Sewing Machine - high speed, durable, a one function sewing machine
2. Semi-Industrial Sewing Machine - a faster more robust for the serious home user
3. Domestic Sewing Machine - specifically for the home user

In the domestic world we are seeing an increase of capabilities with electronic computerised controllers built into the sewing machine. Also we are seeing longer necks becoming more popular, allowing for a larger work area. Particularly for Quilters and Patchworkers where they require a large sewing area.

There are many competing brands in the sewing machine world. Many of these names are probably familiar eg. Japanese brands Janome, and Brother lead the sewing machine market in Australia.

There are many other brands however the ones mentioned above are the most popular in Australia.
