Heavy duty sewing machines have more powerful feed systems with stronger feed dogs to grip and advance heavy fabrics evenly and precisely. The presser foot pressure is often adjustable to ensure proper feeding without slippage. Some heavy duty machines also have walking feet for perfectly even fabric feeding in difficult materials.

Moreover, preparation is essential when working with thicker fabrics. Before sewing, it's advisable to pre-wash and iron the fabric to reduce shrinkage and improve the accuracy of the seam. Cutting the fabric with precision is also important, as clean edges ensure a better fit and finish. Using fabric pins to secure layers will help maintain alignment as you sew. Given the limitations of handheld machines, maintaining control over the fabric is vital for achieving neat results.
