HEAVY SEWING MACHINES

Heavy-Duty Sewing Machines – Easy Sewing for Tough Materials

Anyone who sews regularly, whether professionally or as a hobby, knows that some materials require extra care. Often, a switch from machine to hand sewing is necessary, especially when working with leather. While this is a natural step for certain items, it becomes impractical when sewing leather and other heavy materials, even in small-scale production, let alone large-scale manufacturing. That’s why we offer heavy-duty sewing machines that excel in both leatherworking and upholstery.

Upholstery Sewing Machines, Including Automotive Upholstery

Sewing upholstery requires a machine that can handle large pieces of material and the task of covering furniture. The head’s arm is crucial for this, and the machine should also have triple feed—bottom, needle, and presser foot feed. Given the thickness of the materials, it’s also important that the presser foot can be raised high enough to sew through several layers of heavy fabric.

Which Machine for Heavy Materials?

In our store, you will find both single-needle and double-needle machines with triple feed, making sewing leather, upholstery, and other heavy materials exceptionally easy. If you need to sew cylindrical items, the JUKI TSC-441U lockstitch machine will be helpful. For upholstery, the long-arm double-needle machine by Japsew is ideal. The Juki TSC-461U combines both features—extended arm and cylindrical capability—making it perfect even for very heavy sewing tasks. A range of innovative enhancements in our available machines and sewing machine motors can save up to 70% in energy consumption. Modern and automatic features make working with heavy-duty sewing machines lighter and faster.

When sewing leather, it’s not just the machine that matters but also the consumables, especially the needles. Specialized sewing needles for leather have shaped points that cut through the material, similar to using punches, rather than piercing it. This allows for the creation of traditional leatherwork stitches. When equipping your workshop or tailoring shop, we also recommend checking out overlock and zigzag sewing machines, as well as clothing design software.
