How Sewing Machine Specs works
Sewing Machine Specs lists published specifications for 23 sewing machines used for quilting, leather, embroidery and industrial sewing. Every spec comes from a manufacturer's product page or a dealer listing and links to its source.
Machines covered
The table covers 23 machines from 9 manufacturers. A machine is listed when its manufacturer publishes enough specs to compare it on at least one job spec. The job specs are throat space, rated sewing thickness, embroidery field and top speed.
Where the specs come from
Each spec is taken from the manufacturer's product page and compared with a dealer listing for the same model. The specs come from 40 manufacturer and dealer pages.
- 36 of 108 specs are listed the same by the manufacturer and a dealer.
- 65 specs have one source, in most cases the manufacturer.
- 5 specs are listed differently by the manufacturer and a dealer. They are marked Not confirmed and are not used in the rankings.
- 2 specs are marked Not listed because the manufacturer's page does not give them.
No spec is estimated. Ounce ratings and inch ratings for leather are shown as the manufacturer lists them.
Limits
Nothing on Sewing Machine Specs is hands-on tested. The site has no reviews, review scores or reviewer names. Specs and prices change, and the manufacturer's page is the final word on both.
