If you need a sewing machine with power and flexibility but don’t want to waste space or money, check out compact sewing machines. These downsized powerhouses pack the capability and flexibility of full-sized machines into a small and very portable package, with downsized price tags to match.

Smaller and less expensive than standard models but larger and more powerful than mini-machines, compact machines are the perfect compromise between power and price. When portability, convenience, and cost are important but you also need lots of capability, a compact model can be the perfect choice.

Almost all compact sewing machines operate on electricity and are controlled by a foot pedal. If you need cordless capability, a mini-machine may be a better choice. But because most compact machines are electric powered, they can handle much bigger sewing projects than cordless mini machines. Compact machines are generally considerably lighter and smaller than standard sewing machines, with a small footprint and ultra-light construction that offers maximum portability.

But though they’re small in size, they’re big in capability. Most compact sewing machines can easily tackle just about any sewing project with ease, and they’re powerful enough to be a match for even heavy and challenging fabrics like sailcloth and denim.

Whether you’re looking for a basic model or one for specialized sewing, you can find a compact machine with the exact set of features you need. Free-arm capability, drop in bobbins, adjustable stitch lengths, and even a variety of stretch and decorative stitches are standard on most compact models. Some manufacturers even offer full capability machines in a very small package, and a few compact models even include extras like buttonholers, rufflers, and more.

Almost every leading sewing machine manufacturer offers several compact models, so no matter what your sewing needs you can find one that’s right for you. It’s a matter of matching features, price, and intended use. The most basic and inexpensive models are fine for simple construction with medium weight fabrics, sewing-related crafts, and repairs. But for just a bit more investment, you can buy compact machines that will easily complete complex projects or construction using super-heavy fabric.

You can count on a compact model to be lighter and smaller in all dimensions than the large standard models, but how much smaller they are depends on the manufacturer. There may even be significant size variations among different compact models in the same brand line. But a good rule of thumb is that the more features, the heavier and larger the machine will be.

One of the best compact sewing machines is the Brother CS6000I, which delivers big-machine productivity in a small machine package and price. Find out more at Specialty Sewing Machines.

How do I mix fabrics and match fabrics for a comforter cover?

I was given a sewing machine for Christmas….and so now I am working on some projects…I am trying to make a comforter cover out of cotton…100% cotton….
am trying to make it look real elegant but not sure what other fabrics go with what? like, does silk go with cotton? I need your help please…thanks…

You can to the top face in silk ( the raw silk is nice) and do the bottom face of it in the cotton in either the same shade as the silk or in a pattern to make it reversable….generally ur doing all the sheets and pillows to match i’d stick to cotton for the sheets and then u can experiment with bits of silk on the accent pillows. if you go with too many different types of fabrics its an overload stick to two types of fabric
