Overview
Welcome to the Textiles Area. We have a pretty good selection of machines.
Our Consew 206RB-4 walking foot industrial sewing machine is good for sewing heavy materials such as leather and canvas. We swapped out the clutch motor for a servo, so the machine is now much easier to use. Most home machines come with servo motors—just much smaller than the one on the Consew.
There is a Bablylock Lauren 4-thread serger.
We have 6 regular sewing machines. Each machine is a little different, from a good solid old workhorse to a newer Baby Lock with some computerized stitches.
We do have an older Singer Futura embroidery machine, but we need to find someone with the right touch to get the importing of designs working.
You can use our vinyl cutter to make signs or window decals or designs to press onto T-shirts and tote bags with our heat press.
