In addition to garment making, the single needle lock stitch has applications in quilting. Quilters often rely on this stitch to piece together layers of fabric and batting, providing the necessary durability and integrity. Home decor projects like pillow covers, curtains, and table linens also benefit from this stitch for a clean and professional finish.
Products made of leather, such as chic handbags, classic leather jackets wallets, and belts, are not typical fabrics. They’re thick and tough, making stitching through them challenging. Also, with leather, it’s there forever. Once you make a hole, it’s there forever, so you need to get the stitch right from the start. That’s where heavy-duty sewing machines come into play. With extra power and consistent pressure, they ensure the needle penetrates the leather smoothly and evenly so using suitable needles for leather, is also essential.
