Looking for the power of a full-sized sewing machine in a small, super-portable package? Then a compact sewing machine could be exactly what you need.

Compact sewing machines are the middle ground between a light-task mini sewing machine and a full size sewing machine.

Unlike mini sewing machines, many of which have an option for cordless use, with compact sewing machines electric power and a foot control is standard. They’re larger than mini machines but have a smaller footprint than standard home sewing machines, and though they’re heavier than minis, their ultra-light weight still gives them maximum portability. But don’t let their size fool you – many compact machines pack plenty of power to handle just about any sewing need. There are compact machines that can sew heavy fabrics like denim with ease.

Plenty of features
Compact sewing machines range from the simple and very basic to models with a surprising array of features and conveniences. Many compact machine models include free-arm capability, drop in bobbins, adjustable stitch lengths, and even a variety of stitches. Some manufacturers even offer full capability machines in a very small package – for example, the Brother LS2125I, which even includes a buttonholer.

What to look for in a compact sewing machine
The key to buying the right compact sewing machine is to match the machine to its intended use. Compact sewing machines are available in such a wide range of models  that it’s easy to find exactly the right machine for you. If you’ll be using it for small craft projects and basic repairs, a very basic model will probably do all you need. If you want to do more extensive sewing, there are compact machines available that are completely capable of start-to-finish garment construction.

Size counts … but how much it counts is up to you. If space is truly at a premium in your available work area, pay particular attention to the footprint of the machine you’re considering. Though all compact machines are smaller and lighter than standard machines, their size and weight vary among models and manufacturers. Generally speaking, the more full-featured the machine, the more it weighs, so you can set your own balance between features and light-weight portability.

“I am a beginner – the last time I sewed was in home economics class more than 20 years ago – yet this machine is extremely easy to use ….. this purchase has been an example of when the brand speaks for itself, Juki being the sewing machine brand used by every tailor shop around me. They did not skimp on quality on this model, though its price point suggests it’s intended for residential, non commercial use.”

“This is my fifth serger and, so far, my favorite …. This Juki has it all. It is very stable–never moves around when you’re serging–has a wonderful knife set-up that cuts through anything smoothly, and has a beautiful rolled hem, either two or three thread …. The tensions are also very easy to set.”

Serger sewing machines differ from standard sewing machines in many ways.  Unlike standard sewing machines, which use one top thread and one bobbin thread to create stitches, sergers use 2, 3, 4, or even 5 threads to create unique overlocking stitches. In addition to creating speedy, secure, and professional seams, sergers can produce many decorative stitch effects.

Serger sewing machines are excellent for use with stretch and other modern fabrics, and will give home sewn garments the same look that professionally manufactured garments have. Though sergers are definitely specialty machines and cannot totally replace a standard sewing machine for facings, zippers, top stitching, etc., many projects can be made entirely with a serger.

There’s no better way to get a child interested in sewing than to give her a childrens sewing machine of her very own. Kids sewing machines are specifically designed to appeal to youngsters and to keep them safe.

Most machines that are sold specifically for children are more toy than tool, which can make discovering sewing pure fun. Colorful, lightweight, and often associated with favorite characters like Barbie and Hello Kitty, these are early learner machines that are sure to fascinate children and lay the foundation for a lifetime skill.

Kids sewing machines are kid-friendly in more than looks. They’re specially sized for children and developed with both safety and ease of operation in mind. They come in both battery and AC powered versions, and many have dual power options.

Children’s sewing machines aren’t the same as mini sewing machines, which are scaled-down versions of standard machines. Mini or compact sewing machines more powerful and have greater speed and capability than kids sewing machines, which makes them a good choice for youngsters 12 and over.

Factors to consider when buying kids sewing machines

• Age – generally speaking, sewing machines are best for children at least eight years of age. Though good kids sewing machines are designed and manufactured with safety in mind, younger children may lack the necessary coordination for safe use.
• Experience – will this be the child’s first exposure to sewing? If so, the simpler, more basic, and more geared to learning, the better. Many child’s sewing machines are sold with kits that include instructions for simple projects along with everything necessary to complete them.
• Type of  projects – Some children’s sewing machines produce only a chain stitch, which is easily pulled out. This is fine for “pure practice” sewing, but may not be satisfactory for projects that involve actual garment construction.
