Another benefit is the ease of adjustment. The single needle lock stitch can be easily modified in terms of stitch length and tension, allowing sewers to experiment and achieve the desired look and functionality. This adaptability is valuable, especially when working with different fabrics and project requirements.

One of the most critical features to look for in a sewing machine for both fabric and leather is stitch control. The ability to adjust the stitch length and type is vital when switching between materials. For instance, when sewing leather, a longer stitch length (usually between 3-5mm) helps reduce the chances of puncturing the material too many times, which can lead to tearing. In contrast, for lightweight fabrics, a shorter stitch length provides greater control and a more refined finish.
