The versatility of heavy-duty sewing machines extends beyond the realm of fashion and home décor. Industries such as automotive, marine, and theatrical production also rely heavily on these machines for their unique needs. They are used to sew boat covers, car interiors, and stage curtains, all of which demand high levels of durability and wear resistance. As a result, investing in a heavy-duty sewing machine can open up a world of possibilities for entrepreneurs and artisans alike.

My friend Eric had extolled the virtues of his own adventures in sewing and by this point in the pandemic I’d just about run out of Netflix to watch. So: Sewing, it is!
