Does it come with a walking foot? That is is the most popular question I receive every time we list an industrial sewing machine for sale.

Industrial sewing machines are different from domestic machines, industrial machines will only do one type of stitch/work while home machines will do different kinds.

I have seen different attachments for domestic machines that make special jobs such as button holes, edge cutter, and even feed to name a few. Industrial machines does not have the capability of changing types of stitches or to attach adapters to do work that they were not intended to do.

** A drop feed machine will always be a drop feed machine, it will never be a walking foot machine, even if you install an adaptor. **
** A needle feed machine will always be a needle feed machine, it will never be a walking foot machine, even if you install an adaptor. **


My point is, for every type of stitch/work you need a different kind of industrial sewing machine.

• These are the most popular types:
• Drop Feed Regular Single Needle - Used to do regular straight stitch in regular fabrics
• Needle Feed - Used in medium to heavy works. Commonly used to sew light leather.
• Walking Foot Machines - Used for heavy work. Used mainly for upholstery and jobs with thick leather, canvas, or vinyl.
• Overlock / Serger Machine - Used to cut the extra material and sew the edge at the same time, there are machines with 3,4,5,6 threads and also for light, medium, and heavy fabrics.
• Blindstitch Machines - Used to do hemming. Commonly use in drapery works, and alteration centers.
