Having decided to purchase a sewing machine for household purposes, the first thing a consumer faces is a wide variety of options. Modern manufacturers are trying to release such models that would satisfy a wide variety of needs - from ordinary sewing to creating original buttonholes, embroidery and overlocking.
The first thing that draws attention to is the appearance of the machine. Oddly enough, but it is her attractiveness that sometimes becomes a decisive factor. Manufacturers understand this too, so they try to make the design of their products modern and visually pleasing.
However, you should not succumb to emotions, first you should thoroughly study all the capabilities of the model, choose what you need, and then from all the suitable ones choose the one that has the best appearance.
The criterion for selection is the weight of the equipment. Please note that one machine can be several times heavier than the other. The fact is that the material from which it is made is responsible for its "lightness". The main units of such models are made of extra strong plastic, due to which the price for them is significantly lower. But at the same time, endurance decreases!
How to proceed? Here it is important to decide what you need a machine for: hemming rough jeans or sewing diapers for a child. The difference is in how intense the load will be on the main nodes. The instruction, which is attached to each model, can help in resolving the issue. In it you will find information on what types of fabrics a particular model is designed for.
Almost every sewing machine is equipped with a table. It is provided to facilitate some operations. In addition, it simplifies access to the shuttle.
The most convenient option is recognized when the table is not removable, but retractable. It does not get in the way while sewing and folds with one push.
The question often arises: should I buy a computer-controlled sewing machine? In their memory, a huge number of stitches, embroidery functions, automatic threading, reinforcement of a needle are provided. There are really many advantages of such machines, however, the price for them is significantly higher. In order not to be mistaken in the choice, computer options should be chosen more carefully.
Take the time to study the instructions, consult several points of sale. After all, we are talking not only about a high price, but also an expensive repair!
Very often, when choosing a model, you can get confused by the presence of a large number of different stitches. Soberly assess the situation, how many of them you will actually use. And if only a standard straight line and a zigzag, then why overpay?
But the way the loop is produced is actually an important parameter. It is best to choose a model that makes the buttonhole in automatic mode, it must have a special foot. It is necessary to focus on the fact that budget models perform loops in manual mode, and options are slightly more expensive in semi-automatic mode.
Rarely enough, such an important point as car repair is taken into account. Of course, like all equipment, it also breaks down, various units fail. And this comes from the fact that the technology of use is violated, or there is a natural wear and tear of parts.
All machines from well-known manufacturers are given a one-year warranty, after which, in the event of a device breakdown, you will have to contact the specialists and pay for the repairs at your own expense.
