Differences between household sewing machines and industrial sewing machines

1. Different Structures

Industrial Sewing Machines: In addition to the needle bar mechanism, hook mechanism, take-up mechanism, and feed mechanism, the structure of industrial sewing machines also includes material cutting devices, hole punching devices, automatic thread shifting devices, automatic thread trimming devices, automatic needle positioning devices, etc.

Household Sewing Machines: The structure of household sewing machines includes the needle bar mechanism, hook mechanism, take-up mechanism, and feed mechanism.

2. Different Applications

Industrial Sewing Machines: Industrial sewing machines are mainly suitable for sewing workpieces in mass production in sewing factories or other industrial sectors.

Household Sewing Machines: Integrating functions such as straight stitch, zigzag stitch, and buttonholing, household sewing machines are mainly for household use.

3. Different Classifications

Industrial Sewing Machines: Industrial sewing machines (in-sewing equipment) can be mainly divided into general-purpose sewing machines, special-purpose sewing machines, and decorative sewing machines. Most of them belong to general-purpose sewing machines, which further include lockstitch machines, chain stitch machines, overlock machines, coverstitch machines, etc.

Household Sewing Machines: Household sewing machines are generally driven by human power (foot pedal or hand crank transmission), and some are driven by electric motors. According to daily household applications, sewing machines can be divided into straight stitch sewing machines, zigzag stitch sewing machines, etc. Classified by their mechanisms and stitch types, they can be roughly categorized into JA, JB, JG, and JH models.

4. Different Sizes

Industrial Sewing Machines: Since industrial sewing machines are mainly used in industrial sectors such as sewing factories, they have a larger body, higher power, and faster speed. Household Sewing Machines: In contrast, household sewing machines are compact and space-saving, with lower power, and electric household sewing machines have a lower sewing speed.
