Industrial Sewing Machines for Less
If you are in the market for an industrial or commercial grade sewing machine, then you probably are already getting an idea about how expensive they are. But wait! There are some less expensive models, and alternatives.
First, and I will say this with caution, is the used route. Industrial sewing machines are tough and built to last, so used ones tend to be fairly readily available. You need to be sure you can get replacement parts, and that the machine is in good working order, but you can get some great machines this way.
Also consider factory reconditioned or rebuilt machines. Again, caution here – you want to make sure you can get the parts and support you will need.
And finally, Buy new! Yes, companies like Juki and Singer make some pretty great industrial sewing machines that can be reasonably priced.
