Heavy Duty
What is the best sewing machine for heavy duty sewing?
I am hoping to get recommendations on a good sewing machine for heavy duty sewing. Something in between a home machine and an industrial as I am not ready to commit to a huge industrial machine but I sew much more then what a standard home machine can handle. For example heavy fabrics such as canvas, upholstery weight, or denim and I sew for 5plus hours per day.
Great machines for this is to find an old Singer (black ones) from 1940′s and 50′s. One of the best if not the best is a Singer 201. Along with this one is a Singer 15-91. These are heavy household machines that have a built in motor (no belt drive). All gear to gear drive and you cannot hurt them. Almost any machine with the proper TNT (Thread, Needle and Tension) can sew heavy materials just not for very long. These two types can sew heavy all day, every day.
I always buy these when I see them. Service them (restore) and resell them. Feel free to email me if you want to buy one. About a hundred dollars. I’ll ad links so you can look at some. Page through my pics you will see a 15-91 and a 201. Others are eBay machines. I have them for sale for much less. I am a sewing machine tech and collector.
