Sewing machines made specifically for industrial use are machines that are made and designed to be efficient and effective, and build to stand up against the rigors of an industrial or manufacturing environment. Sewing Machines are made up of several different types of machines, including lockstitch sewing machines, chain stitch sewing machines, overlock sewing machines, cover stitch sewing machines, buttonhole sewing machines, and bartack sewing machines.
The lockstitch sewing machine is used to construct a strong and durable seam on a woven fabric; the chain stitch sewing machine is used to sew many fasteners together; the overlock sewing machine will cut an edge with one continuous stitch and finish it at the same time; the cover stitch will create labels and hems; the buttonhole/bartack will secure items being sewn. Each category of sewers has various feeds, essentially a knife or a system that provides tension and helps move the fabric through the machine.
