Top 10 Best Sewing Machines in the Philippines 2021 (Singer, Brother, and More)

Sewing machines being sold presently are divided into three types: Computerized, Mechanical, and Electronic. As we are in the digital age, the most common type is the computerized type. Read on below to know more about them.

However, something to keep in mind is that these sewing machines are quite expensive compared to other types. In saying that, we think that it's worth the extra cost since they're truly very convenient and easy-to-use.

Electronic sewing machines are considered a hybrid of computerized and mechanical sewing machines. You can start and stop it with just one push, and you can also control sewing speed and thus, sewing power. However, you need to do thread adjustments manually with only a few patterns available with this type.

This used to be the most common type of household sewing machine, right before the computerized ones took over. This is because it still has enough power to sew thick materials and its basic use was usually taught in home economics class in school.

Sewing machines come in two basic sizes: Full-sized and Compact. Depending on the brand, there may be products in the middle of the two but have the capabilities of the compact size.

In saying that, though, it tends to be heavy and pretty expensive, which is something those who are only looking to use it for minor repairs or occasionally should consider since it can be pretty inconvenient to store. 

Despite that, something to keep in mind with these compact machines is that the materials usually used for their internal parts are plastic - which keeps them light but makes them less durable. They're also not as powerful as full-sized ones, so if you want to sew thick materials like tweed or leather, this may not be the type for you.

From those that can only do a straight stitch to those with a lot of stitch styles and those that have quilting settings, different sewing machines have different functions. Some also have multiple features so check out the things that you can expect here.

Some sewing machines have a computer guidance function that includes error alerts. This is great for beginners as it can serve as a learning guide while making sure that your machine runs smoothly.
