Rating of the best electronic sewing machines

As good as electromechanical models are, progress cannot be stopped. They are being replaced by modern electronic models with microprocessor control, which allow performing various operations accurately, clearly and accurately. For a long time, such machines were quite expensive, and therefore were the lot of only professionals and sewing ateliers. Recently, however, electronic cars have begun to appear in the mass, 'popular' segment of the market. And although their price is slightly higher than similar devices, the overpayment in this situation is quite understandable.

Rating of the best computer-controlled sewing machines

Devices that went even further: the execution of all operations and manipulations without exception is carried out at the expense of a powerful CPU. The device independently determines the best algorithm of work and optimizes the performance of the device to achieve the best result with minimal involvement of the person in the sewing process. The other side of the coin is a rather high price. Such devices cost significantly more than their less 'advanced' counterparts.

Which sewing machine is better to buy?

Despite the seeming simplicity of solving this problem, choosing the most suitable sewing machine is not so easy. First of all, it all depends on the purpose for which the sewing machine is purchased and what functionality the buyer plans to receive. The budget also plays an important role – it's silly to expect exhaustive functionality from a sewing machine in a budget price range. After analyzing the above information, we can draw the following conclusions.

  1. For beginners choosing their first sewing machine, it is best to opt for devices similar to the Janome My Excel 18 W. Its basic functionality is more than enough to perform routine operations;

  2. For those who are looking for a more advanced model that can work not only with fabric, but also with leather, and with a huge number of operations, the best choice is Janome 6260 QC, as well as other models similar to it;

  3. Real professionals who choose a model with comprehensive functionality will surely like the Bernina B 580. It is a fully computerized sewing machine with a huge number of operations, a bright touch screen with a preview of the final result. Its delivery set is extremely rich and varied. However, you have to pay for all this – the price for Bernina B 580 is far from democratic.
