Heavy-duty sewing machines are built to withstand the rigorous demands of frequent use. They typically feature a more robust construction compared to standard sewing machines, which allows them to handle thicker fabrics such as denim, leather, and upholstery materials. The powerful motors in these machines provide the strength needed to sew multiple layers and heavy materials without skipping stitches or becoming jammed.

Before starting on your main project, it’s recommended to practice on scrap fabric to perfect your tension settings and stitching technique. This will not only build your confidence but also allow you to make any necessary adjustments to avoid mishaps in your final product.

1. Polyester Thread One of the most common types of heavy-duty thread is polyester, which is known for its strength and resistance to UV rays, mold, and mildew. This makes it particularly suitable for outdoor canvas projects like tents, awnings, and outdoor furniture covers.
