I am definitely a novice when it comes to sewing. I haven’t done a lot of research on the differences between types of machines and their uses. All I know, is that on my little Brother machine I am not suppose to use heavy duty/thick thread or thick fabric in it because it can throw off the tension and will require it to be serviced. I also know how to clean the dust of the lower bobbin area.That’s it. That is the extent of my sewing machine knowledge. Then thanks to Reddit I found this blog where the author does an amazing job talking about the differences between vintage domestic and industrial sewing machines, like amp vs. horsepower, specific use machines,  and how not to get swindled by a seller.

I think the information is wonderful and I now feel a lot smarter 🙂
