Before driving down to the price rates of the sewing machines, do you know that there are different types of sewing machines that perform specific functions too? So, aside from joining fabrics, there are other individual functions that a sewing machine can carry out. Most times this other function is done by experienced or professional tailors.
Types Of Sewing Machines In Nigeria
There are indeed different types of sewing machines that exist in Nigeria. They can be grouped based on their use as well as function.
Based on Use, this can either be a domestic or industrial sewing machine. Those machines that are used at home to serve a simple house function are the domestic sewing machines. They can also be called the traditional machine. These types of machines are usually slower and therefore are basically for fewer jobs. Meanwhile, the industrial type of sewing machine is used for industrial and professional purposes. They are way faster than domestic sewing machines and can perform multiple tasks in a short period. Did I forget to add that they cost more than the domestic sewing machines?
Based on Function, we have three major types of sewing machines and they are; the hand sewing machine, the electrical sewing machine, and lastly the computer-based sewing machine. These sewing machines vary from each other in working parts which creates different work patterns and purposes.
The Hand Sewing Machine
This type of machine, as the name implies is manually operated. It requires you to sew using your hands and legs. This is where the powerhouse is because it doesn’t require any form of electricity. It is also the largest used kind of machine in Nigeria.
The Electrical Sewing Machine
This type of sewing machine uses electricity to function. So without any electricity, this machine won’t function and considering the kind of power supply in the country which is usually very poor, the majority of fashion designers opt for the manual sewing machine so that they won’t end up failing to deliver to their customers. Even if this sewing machine is much expensive than the hand sewing machine, most professional tailors go for this type because it makes their work a lot easier, neater, and faster to deliver.
The Computer-Based Machine
This type of machine is used by very few fashion designers. For you to be able to make use of this machine, you have to be a computer literate, because it uses built-in computer software that enables it to function effectively.
Apart from the three major types of sewing machines above, we also have the embroidery sewing machine, the fast seam sewing machine, the industrial sewing machine, over stitching sewing machine and the list goes on.
