Manual Vs Computerised Sewing Machines
With many types of craft machines to shop during this sale, you may need some help choosing the right one for you! Manual and computerised machines are two very popular types of sewing machines, but how do you know which one is best for you?
Manual sewing machines are one of the more traditional sewing machines and feature no digital components. Computerised sewing machines on the other hand are often referred to as digital sewing machines and feature a number of digital features that make sewing difficult patterns and stitches a breeze! Let's unpack the key differences between these machines.
Manual Sewing Machine | Computerised Sewing Machine |
Good for basic stitches | Can create a range of stitches and patterns |
Beginner-friendly, easy to learn on | May be difficult to learn on due to its technological components |
Great for sewists who aren't comfortable with technology | Less intensive to use as they do most of the calculations itself |
Affordable and offers great value | Can download extras |
Easy to repair | Some machines may assist you in choosing the right materials for your project. |
You can read through our article on manual and computerised sewing machines for more information to help make your decision. Once you've shopped your choice, be sure to check out our sewing projects for more crafting inspiration.
Incredibly Versatile Overlockers
While sewing machines join two pieces of fabric together an overlocker is a type of sewing machine that helps to prevent the fraying of your fabric by cutting the raw edge of the fabric and looping the thread over the edge.
Providing efficiency in your crafting, an overlocker can sew, overcast and trim excess seam allowance simultaneously.
An overlocker will make crafting a range of projects an easier process, including:
- Clothing alterations: Sewing elastics, buttons, zippers and more!
- Quilting and patchwork: Making cosy blankets or sewing patches onto clothing
- Adding decorations: Stitch the perfect finishing touches to your craft projects
Create Intricate Designs With Embroidery Machines
Although it is a type of sewing machine, embroidery machines can create and embroider designs onto fabric that are more intricate and complicated than what a typical sewing machine could produce.
Embroidery machines are useful in producing embroidered details on towels, blankets and canvas and are particularly great for adding branding and advertising to shirts, signs, carry bags and more!
