DOMESTIC vs INDUSTRIAL Sewing Machines... Which one should I buy?

[@fromcarlyb]

Heya friends! Thanks for watching this week! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments

[@LeaflingBags]

The industrial is deffenatley a game changer, the fact that you don’t have to reach for everything all the time and the fact that the needle bar stays down makes the work so much faster andseamless. I switched to industrial pretty early in my sewing carrier since I make bags and the domestic could not handle the layers that are involved, but for hobby project like sewing garments I still use my domestic from time to time. If you do a lot of sowing it’s worth having both.

[@fromcarlyb]

Total game changer! I couldn't agree more. I love this input - thank you for sharing!!

[@LiliS319]

But both features are available on some of the more expensive domestic machines in the €600-1500 price range. Not that I want to argue, but I would want to know what the benefits are of a combination of a cheaper domestic machine and an industrial machine _over_ the mid range (600-1500) sewing machines! (It's not that I think I know what's what, the opposite, I just want to make the right choice when I'm going to upgrade)

[@kyliewalker6647]

Thanks for your comment, I too am wanting to make leather handbags from light materials eg. lambskin, and I don't think any from the singer HD range could handle that job, or give the type of professional finish I am after. even with a walking foot, compared to a Juki industrial with presser/ walking foot.

[@smarty_4190]

I can’t believe how amazing the quality of your video’s is even though you just started, they’re a pleasure to watch. Really great job!!

[@fromcarlyb]

Thank you so much!! My brother is doing the editing & he is SUPER talented !!!

[@smarty_4190]

Hi. I have about 50 years experience in the sewing industry. The Singer HD is junk. It's way more expensive than any industrial when you consider price divided by use. It depends on what the user is doing. Most people will use a domestic that waits in the closet until those rare times when you use it. My best advice is don't buy from a department store. Find a local dealer and take the time to shop around. You'll get way more support from them. They want you to succeed so you'll be happy and buy more machines. Now not everyone can do this but my very best advice is shop thrift stores and flea markets to find a 1960 to 1980 at least zig zag MADE IN JAPAN machine. If it has a buttonholer built in then all the better. Other stitches are almost worthless. Industrial is simple. Use 1 and you'll never go back. You'll never wear it out. You can hand it down to your Grands and they will do the same. That machine is made to run 24/7 year round. I love your enthusiasm about sewing and enjoy your video so maybe I have a tip for you. You may know this already but I saw you snap on a button hole foot. On the back of that foot is a small tab and the front has a small split tab. They are for making corded button holes. Loop a cord over the back tab and pinch both ends into the front tab. Make your button hole as normal and the machine will sew over the cord giving you a raised effect on the button hole. 2nd tip. Stop using the reverse lever on your industrial for back tac. When you get to the end of a seam, tap the knee lifter and pull your work back 1/2 inch or so and drop the knee lifter and sew back to the edge. practice to do this without stopping the machine. Keep it running and do this in 1 smooth motion. You won't break the needle.

[@fromcarlyb]

WOW thank you for all of this information!!! I appreciate it so much!!

[@alloyghost3604]

Thank u so much ❤❤

[@tijaz2118]

Plz can u advice which one is speedy machine even at home and what about juki sewing machine because i think they r best speed machines. May i right?

[@tarotcaba]

One of the things I like the most about industrial is the flat table surface you get. The other great benefit of industrial is the great variety of presser feet. I bought a second hand vintage 1929 Singer 3115 treadle machine. I got it with the table and in great condition for 50 dollars. Love your videos ❤

[@fromcarlyb]

AGRREED!!! The table space is game changing.

[@wesKEVQJ]

I have a 1930 model 66 electric. It was locked up when I got it, but now that it's clean and oiled, it runs smoother than the new 4423 I have. I haven't used it yet, I want to put a new motor on it because the old one is 94 years old. I think it's tired even though it still goes. I am going to have to watch a video before I use it. I really like the gold leaf on the black.

[@NormaDelaCruz-l3l]

I love my industrial sewing machine well I have domestic too . Thank you .

[@tijaz2118]

Plzcan u tell the name of machine which is best in speed?

[@pmg1180]

I can share this with my experience with heavy duty. They don’t really stand for being heavy duty. They breaks my needles all the time and also they bent the metal plate and it’s not strong. I had it repair at singer distribution and the guy told me that I used that machine really hard. He told me that heavy duty means nothing. It’s good for temporary projects. Not heavy materials constantly. Why? It has no power like industrial does. He told me it’s time for me to upgrade a powerful machine where I can work with heavy duty projects. He says my singer heavy duty is still good just that I need to be more careful when I’m forcing the projects too hard. I need to take it easy with it. Your video is great. Glad that you made this video to share. I’m still looking for powerful machine. Maybe like yours. That’s something I would considering.

[@kyliewalker6647]

100% Singer are being misleading marketing them as Heavy Duty machines. it's ambiguities terminology combined with fake reviews, targeting beginners, claiming they sew through leather.

[@happilyevernever4289]

You can't make jeans with it? Or use thin leather?

[@helloemilymills]

Great comparison! I interned at a sewing factory for a month a few years ago, and got to use their industrial machines 🤩 it was definitely tough going back to my domestic machines after that 😅

[@fromcarlyb]

Awww man once you get a taste it’s so hard to go back !! Feels!!!

[@nats5385]

this video rocks! thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.

[@janegertrude9270]

An additional tip to the bobbin winding section in this video. Most machines, industrial or domestic, have a 2nd spool pin that is generally used to wind your bobbins. That being said, all machines that have a 2nd spool pin for winding your bobbins can wind a bobbin while you are sewing. The trigger stops when the bobbin is full and you'll always have another full bobbin ready, just make sure you purchase a 2nd spool of thread for this method. Cheers and happy sewing!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Love your channel, my friend! The industrial juki looks like a dream come true! I’m about to tackle my first dress project this week with a thrifted quilt. Wish me luck!

[@fromcarlyb]

Thank you friend !! It is a dream come true indeed, I’m so grateful. Ooooh that sounds so magical!! Good luck & keep me posted on your project 💖🙏🏼

[@abdullahjewel3932]

Is it available in Bangladesh market?

[@Cass_772]

I think the 2 are necessary, the industrial for it's power and precision and the other one for buttonhole, zigzag and stretch point... the 2 are complementary

[@inekekrul6340]

I like my domestic machines with electronics. I also choose to sew with the needle ending down. Easy to lift the pressure foot and adjust the fabric, without interrupting the stitching!

[@fromcarlyb]

That's amazing! And needle ending down is the BEST!! Thanks for adding your insights!

[@huntguy454nation4]

This was a really good video, thank you.

[@Cass_772]

it's a good idea to have one spool for sewing and an other one for the bobin!!

[@Alobster1]

I have both industrial and domestic machines. I have a singer 20U and it is right in the middle and it is a great option. It is their "professional" line and it is one step up from domestic machines. It is also a zig-zag and isn't too fancy and is reliable. There are many knock-offs of this machine too that probably perform similarly.

[@ellensetchkopalmerlee6481]

Love this! I learned a lot - thank you! 💜 What cool features the industrial machine has! 🌟

[@fromcarlyb]

Thank you for watching! The industrial is in fact SO GOOD

[@annadayl]

Thank you for the video Carly! I'm thinking about purchasing sewing machine to get back into sewing. I owned Łucznik Izabela model, but a few years back I moved from Poland to Belgium and I kinda miss sewing ever since.

[@fromcarlyb]

No matter what machine you choose I truly hope it sparks a lot of joy & creativity!! Good luck!

[@MegaBpop]

Great video. I think if I was in business to make $ in sewing then I would get the industrial. My mom has the one similar to your Juki. She LOVES her indistrial. My brother who is an engineer requested after she passes. I am sure he will love it too!

[@Spida365]

Which machine is similar?

[@nniffa393]

For me, unless I really need a machine for very thick fabric, I love my digital domestic machine. I need something that will yell at me when I forget to do something lol. I gotta say though, that bobbin winding feature on the industrial is very very cool.

[@fromcarlyb]

I love that!! Everyone has different needs from their machine & there is so much variety to pick from!

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Yeah, I love that!

[@thinkmore7575]

I'm thinking of buying a used juki. I'm finished with my singer simple constantly breaking needles.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

My domestic has an internal computer that controls and adjusts the bobbin tension, which for me is literally a sanity saver! I do like knee-push foot lifter though, that’s really nifty!

[@fromcarlyb]

wowwww that sounds so good!!! I love it!

[@treasurestitchcotreasurest8054]

Love ❤️ how you explained this machine! I have a domestic machine but my light is not bright enough. Can you share where to get the magnetic light you have. Thanks

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

Thanks for the video. The only sewing I've done is by hand but I'm looking to sew extremely thick, dense material like backpack straps and stuff like that so I'm thinking the industrial is the way to go.

[@fromcarlyb]

Ooooh industrial would surely be incredible!!! I hope you find the right machine for you!

[@Spida365]

What is the pick background organizer that the scissors and thread is on?

[@fromcarlyb]

[@claudiakneutgen4485]

I have a domestic machine with knee Lift, needle Position down and it can Wind a bobbin whith a second Thread while the needle can be threaded 😊

[@fromcarlyb]

Woahhh I did not know those existed - how cool! Sounds amazing.

[@Spida365]

What machine do you have like that?

Of course!

[@Ahmedahmedxyza]

[@mca4u]

Thanks for this I'm about to begin the hobby and have decided on an industrial Juki 8700, a serger Juki MO654DE and a manual domestic. I only need the manual domestic for buttonholes. Can you recommend a good manual domestic that does buttonholes and includes a key buttonhole?

[@fromcarlyb]

I really like the computerised Brother machines for a good buttonhole on the cheaper side, but a lot of people recommend the Berninas and Pfaff for good buttonholes too although these machines are far more expensive. :D

[@shimaaalfahad72]

Thank you for sharing these info 🤍 im starting to think switch to industrial machine 👍🏽

[@fromcarlyb]

So exciting !! All the best!

[@DollySharmahere]

Which machine is good for delicate to heavy fabric?

[@kasztankap]

great one!! thank you :) I'd love to have industrial machine but unfortunatelly there is no more space in my ap :P

[@donladprao8378]

Hi Carly, i am a newbie, would like to learn working with sewing machine and i have absolutely no idea at all. I would like to know waht kind of machin you would recommend to me. I am living in bangkok, i know i can get cheap ...or affordable second hand juki machines for about 150-250 usd and already get singer and other machines i want create my own stuff with secind hand fabrics and i also will work with ehavy and thick fabrics and mix then with thinner fabrics, so i think i need a stron machune which is good for beginners...

[@rndea100]

they have nice vintage button holers that attach to your machine if you want a nice key hole button im using a vintage singer 319k an 320 now i didnt like the plastic heavy duty singer had loads of problems with it hook timing keep slipping out of time

[@beautymalik3682]

Is it a Direct Drive

[@kyliewalker6647]

I just wanted to say, what a pretty face and smile you have, just gorgeous.. I am personally saving up for a Juki with a walking foot to sew handbags. Could you pls tell me if this model could handle quilting leather? maximum 4 thin layers - thickness made up of lamb skin nappa, a thin foam, and interfacing. thank you love

[@DollySharmahere]

Does this singer machine work on delicate fabrics like silk, chiffon, lace and what kind of sewing needles it support

[@jrspat000]

Get a stickon LED and wrap under

[@whatpayalwore]

What model number do you use for the domestic machine?

[@fromcarlyb]

OOoh i'm not sure sorry... it's just called a Singer Heavy Duty. I bought mine in 2020!

[@Peppermint1]

Same thing people say on forums: there's no comparison between industrial and domestic units. In the end it comes down to each one's needs. By the way, the modern domestic electronic machines develop quickly issues that are impossible to fix - no true service support, no replacement parts - including big brands such as Singer. Just read first the 1 star reviews on a well known site. I'd rather buy vintage than new domestic at this time. Or industrial if money is not an issue

[@bluecube7247]

Thanks for the information

[@BramFritz]

Is the industrial machine capable of sewing rougher fabrics like leather and sails?

[@fromcarlyb]

Not this specific model, but you can get industrial machines designed to do that!!! I think they are walking foot industrials... not sure though!

[@user-hh9lh8jq6q]

Hey there, you recently popped up in my feed and I've been really enjoying your videos! You are so inspiring! I am thinking of getting the Juki that you have and I am noticing a difference with your machine from the ones I see online; your machine has a roundish attachment on the handwheel with a little green light on it..... do you know what that is and what it does? It does not seem to be part of any of the machines I am seeing online for sale and I'm so curious! Thank you and keep on doing what you do!

[@user-hh9lh8jq6q]

Nevermind, I found out what it is! For anyone else who wanted to know, it is a needle positioner!

[@thesmithsdiaries6769]

Can this machine sew jackets like thick fsbrics?

[@fromcarlyb]

It's pretty amazing! I haven't sewn any jackets yet though but it goes well with denim.

[@get2craft]

Hi Everyone :) I'm looking for a machine that is durable, will last long, NO screen/lcd or any other unnecessary electronics (they break, i don't need them, just want simple), has automatic needle-threader, has top-loading bobbin and uses plastic class-15 bobbins. Has all the basic stitches and stretch-stitch for elastics. I'm considering Singer Heavy Duty 4452, as I will need to sew through leather and jeans occasionally. But I heard Singers break a lot (local sewing repair shop told me). Any suggestions pretty please?

[@silvermeasuringspoons6462]

I don't think Singer heavy duty can sew leather. I own an industrial machine and try that "heavy duty" out in the store. Once you used to industrial, everything else feel like a toy.

I had a Janome domestic machine which I thought was the best sewing machine in the world…. Until I went to TAFE & experienced the industrial machines. In comparison my Janome felt like a battery operated toy. I could no longer stand to use it, I too upgraded. Best decision

[@rhoodj]

The industrial machine requires more room and space, more electricity consumption and generate more heat.

[@fromcarlyb]

Good points to consider for sure! I personally have experienced no heat from my industrial machine - it overall runs so efficiently!
