One of the primary benefits of long arm sewing is the ability to quilt larger projects. When working with king-sized quilts or oversized blankets, traditional machines can quickly become a source of frustration. Long arm machines, on the other hand, are designed to accommodate larger fabrics without cumbersome folding or cramping.
Additionally, sailmaker machines often come equipped with specialized needles designed for heavy-duty sewing. The needles used in these machines are robust and capable of piercing multiple layers of fabric, as well as withstanding the abrasive nature of materials often used in sail construction. Furthermore, many machines include adjustable stitch lengths and widths, enabling sailmakers to customize their stitches based on the specific requirements of each project.
