Our New Industrial Sewing Machine

You might think that going from pedal sewing machines to industrial sewing machines might be hard…well, it is! But we have purchased our first industrial sewing machine, a Juki 5500, to help us consistently sew high quality products. We learned to sew on our pedal machines, and they are quite useful during our frequent power outages, but they really are temperamental when it comes to thread tension and give us lots of headaches. Actually, our Juki is not so very complicated, little by little we are getting used to the speed. We are going to keep practicing on scraps until we feel confident. Our first product with the new machine is going to be machine-quilted baby blankets. With that, we will be masters of our new machine, for sure.
