What makes a good machine for Dressmaking?

A good sewing machine for dressmaking should give you excellent stitch quality, precise control and the versatility to handle everything from lightweight fabrics to denim and stretch fabrics. Features such as adjustable presser-foot pressure, a good range of practical stitches, reliable buttonholes and excellent fabric feeding can make a real difference when constructing garments.

At K&B Sewing Machines, we service and repair machines every day, so we know which features genuinely make sewing easier and which machines are built to perform reliably for years. The machines we've selected below are models we would confidently recommend to a dressmaker in our own shop.
