5. Feed Dogs A good set of feed dogs will assist in the movement of fabric through the machine, which can be especially beneficial when handling slippery or heavy materials. High-quality feed dogs will prevent fabric bunching and ensure smooth, consistent sewing.
Strong sewing machine needles are specifically designed to withstand the unique challenges presented by heavy materials. These needles are typically made from high-quality steel and feature a reinforced shaft that provides added strength and durability. Common types of strong needles include the jeans needle, leather needle, and heavy-duty needle, each tailored to handle specific fabrics. For instance, the jeans needle has a thicker, more robust point that effortlessly penetrates multiple layers of denim, while the leather needle features a wedge-shaped tip designed for sewing through tough materials like leather and heavy canvas.
