Rating of the best sewing machines for the home

Each needlewoman wants to have good equipment for her work. In choosing the most suitable one, the rating of sewing machines for the home in quality and not only 2019 will help. Below are the best of the best, according to experts, with reviews, so it’s easy for you to choose a suitable assistant for yourself.

What are sewing machines

Any technique is conditionally divided into types, and sewing machines are no exception and are different.

1. The first and most famous representatives of the industry are mechanical sewing machines. Rather, it is already a rarity, since in houses you can meet them infrequently. They make only a straight line and are controlled by hand (torsion of the wheel) or foot (mechanical pedal). We will not consider them due to the loss of popularity.
2. Next came mechanical machines with electric drive. Unlike the first, they have an electric pedal, which sets the needle in motion. In addition, such a device has more functionality: several different types of stitches, button sewing, hem marking and more.
3. More modern models are electronic. They have built-in electrical switches that allow you to quickly and easily set the selected mode and change the order of operations.
4. Computer controlled devices. There is an integrated processor, thanks to which the machine can perform hundreds of operations. This is not only sewing, but also embroidery equipment. So to speak, two in one. The memory contains embroidery patterns and a lot of programs for sewing, decoration and other operations.

Usually in everyday life you can find the second category, less often the third. It is easy to work with them both for a beginner and an experienced seamstress.

Once again, these machines are made for home use and for the most part for decoration. If you just need to sew ordinary clothes without decorative frills, a machine with a smaller set of functions will be enough.

The best knitwear machines

We highlighted this as a separate block, since not all cars can “take” knitwear. For example, Soviet-made devices generally do not “know” what kind of fabric this is, and categorically “refuse” to stitch it.

Of course, the overlock and the sewing machine in one are the ideal knitting machine for bucket carpet. But there are simpler and more budgetary options. Here we look at them.

The number of threads from 2 to 5, sewing operations - 20, there is a tray for trimmings and for accessories.

The cost of a toiler is 45,000 rubles.

Mini assistants

Now look at the small models. The charm of these compact devices is that they take up little space, do not require special maintenance and skills. If you are not engaged in sewing clothes for yourself and your family, but only periodically hem, put patches and do other minor operations, these mini-cars are for you.

The cost of the model is 4,500 rubles.

On such a machine, of course, a coat cannot be sewn, but it will do all the minor work with ease. Nevertheless, mini-cars are indispensable in travel and business trips, and therefore have become popular.

The best budget model

Since the concept of “budgetary” differs in different categories, we will consider one model in each. So, the best budget sewing machines.

Computer Controlled Model - Janome Decor Computer 3050 / Decor Computer 504.5.

A reliable model gives a choice of 50 lines, among which there are overlock ones. Management thought out very conveniently, the device with the right settings to cope with any fabric. It works quietly, makes smooth lines.

This is everyone’s decision, according to need. Someone needs an overlock, and someone needs a couple of straight lines. The main thing is that the device is reliable.
