What is a Sewing Machine?

You must be wondering why this question is asked because you know most people know what it is and have seen one, you are right but for the sake of those who still don’t know we have the definition below and also some pictures of sewing machines.

Sewing machines are used to stitch two or more clothing materials together by using threads which at the end gives a beautifully stitched and neat wear of any design. The stitches are always neatly done compared to hand-stitched clothes, that is why a sewing machine is a necessity for fashion designers and others who needs it to give their work the best touch.

Here is a picture showing sewing machines:

Mind you, there are various functions you can perform with a sewing machine and the functions are limited to the type of sewing machine you are using, we have the regular ones that can only be used to stitch while we have others that can perform other functions and tasks. To give you a clearer knowledge about this we will list and explain the types of sewing machines mainly used in Nigeria.

Types of Sewing Machines In Nigeria

Below are the three main types of sewing machines in Nigeria;

1. Hand Sewing Machine

This is the type of sewing machine mostly used in Nigeria, it is being operated manually by hand and also mostly by tailors, you need no form or source of electricity to get it working.

2. Electric Sewing Machine

This is a sewing machine that relies on the use of electricity to function, without electricity it cannot be used, and that is the reason why most tailors or fashion designers in Nigeria do not use this type of sewing machine mainly because of the epileptic power supply in Nigeria which will make you end up disappointing your customers. Although with the fact that there is no stable power supply in Nigeria we still have a high number of people who use it, some have their own source of electricity e.g. Generator, Solar, etc.

3. Computer-based Sewing Machine

This is also one of the major sewing machines in Nigeria although just a few professional fashion designers have it as it is much more expensive, you will get value for your money anyways.

A computer-based sewing machine is being controlled and operated by an inbuilt computer system you as the owner just have to be computer literate then you can perform wonders with such machine.
