A professional Merrylock sewing machine can help out in so many cases. It is noticeably ahead of many competitors. You just need to know the features of such a technique and its main nuances.
Specificity
The main purpose of sewing machines is the processing of knitwear at the edges. With the help of such devices it is easy to produce a neat, even elegant line. Then a similar seam will not deform the product and will not stretch in length. The chain stitch is achieved by eliminating the bobbin case. Fibers from the bobbin are transferred directly to the looper. An alternative name is “flat-skinned machine”. With its help, you can close the slice on the hem and edge the product with an oblique trim. You can find a flat seam at the hem of any T-shirt or T-shirt. Most often, sewing machines are used in the textile industry. But there are also separate versions of such equipment designed for domestic use.
Along with knitwear The sewing machine can process very elastic fabrics. When the threads are intertwined, a chain stitch is formed. If on shuttle machines it is delayed, then on opener - on the contrary, it is stretched.
Theoretically, the stitching seam can be imitated with a double needle on a conventional sewing machine, however it is very long and tiring. And still, the quality of work will not be high enough.
Sewers can operate with threads based on polyester and textured fibers. With the help of such threads it is easy to create an elegant and at the same time heavy-duty seam. Important: the consumption will be very large, because most often they use large conical bobbins. Sewing machines find application:
- in decorative decoration of clothes;
- in decorating products with special seams;
- in attaching rubber bands to sportswear;
- in creating trouser loops.
Ploskoshovny cars can work with 1-3 needles. The one-needle option helps to grind knitwear. A two-needle stitch will help to make a decorating seam on a simple and stretch material. To make a flat seam, you need to use all 3 needles. In this case, matter is supplied differentially.
Selection tips
In the process of choosing a sewing machine, you need to pay attention to the smoothness of the legs. It is also important to consider how noisy the motor is. In expensive quality versions, the operating modes are regulated smoothly. Experts advise to take into account:
- foot pressure on the material;
- assortment of acceptable threads and needles;
- limit line length;
- limit line width;
- performance.
The distance between the outermost needles in the row is the most important. Two-needle design means that the machine will make seams 5.5 mm wide. To get a 6.5 mm seam, you will have to use a three-needle binder. It definitely has an average needle and several different modes.
On a two-needle machine, you can simultaneously work with 3 threads, and on a three-needle machine with 4; this does not affect the presence of a chain stitch.
Of particular importance differential scale. Due to the characteristic feature of knitwear (frequent skipping of stitches), you first need to figure out which needles and threads will be used. This will make it possible to select the device more correctly and to fine-tune it in the future. Focusing on the price is not too reasonable. First of all, it is necessary to take into account the compliance of the equipment with its current and expected needs.
Systems that allow the use of a transparent foot are ideal for:
- creating applications;
- quilting textile blanks;
- some other types of work in which errors are especially dangerous.
