Answer 2

Project Runway Brother Sewing Machine

Answer 3

They are high speed industrial machines, most of which can do only a couple of stitches (unlike home machines). Personally, I find industrials rather difficult to control -- I remember having to sew darts on the first industrial I'd tried from bottom to top because I kept overshooting the bottom.

Most are fixed speed -- if you notice, they sew in spurts and the sound is always even during sewing, not a speed up/slow down sort of thing.

The advantages of an industrial machine is that they can be fitted with some pretty amazing feet and attachments to help with various processes. The disadvantages (beyond the flat out sewing speed) include they need special tables with detached motors, they're heavy, noisy (they run all the time -- you control the sewing head with a clutch), and most? many? require lots of oil and an oil reservoir. I personally would not recommend buying one until you've tried sewing on one, and that you sew a lot.

FWIW, I believe Adler is now considered top line for industrials, with Consew and Toyota just behind. But I'm willing to be corrected. http://www.fashion-incubator.com/mt/archives/industrial_sewing_machines_pt_2.html

There are also some intermediate machines out there, commonly known as commercials, meant for tailors shops and alteration shops and the like. They are again more limited than a home machine, but faster, and do not require a table with motor.

Answer 4

I know these aren't the ones they use on the show, I'm sure those are commercial machines. I know on past seasons they've used commercial machines, so I'm assuming those are Brother commercial machines. Here's a link to Brother's site with the 2, limited edition, machines they're selling.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't own one of those machines. I've had friends who have had Brother's in the past, and they've quickly upgraded to better machines. People I know who have had Brother's said they have a tendency to break down often. Not what you want happening in the middle of a project.

Personally, I like Viking's the best, and have 2, a sewing machine and a serger. I've had my sewing machine for over 15 years now, and it still runs great. They're very user friendly, have drop in bobbin loading, even a guide along the front showing you how to thread the machine.

Try out many machines before you buy one. Yes, you'll have to go to different dealers, but your city may have a sewing machine store that sells refurbished machines--you can test sew many different ones there. Good luck!

Did you refer to the error messages chart in the manual? See page 62. Power off and then back on to see if the error message cancels. Refer to the maintenance section and preform all the suggested procedures for cleaning the machine.
