Check Out These 7 Sewing Industry Trends!

If you’re an avid professional sewing machine user or like to sew as a hobby, you probably like to stay up to date with the newest developments in sewing tech and the best ways to improve your workflow when you’re sitting at your machine. 

Let’s take a look at seven of the most exciting new trends in the sewing industry. Who knows, you might even find your next favorite thing! 

1. Sewing Without Pedals 

Many sewing machines require a foot pedal with which the person using the machine controls the stitching. However, many major sewing companies are developing pedal-less sewing machine options with multiple operation modes that can automatically handle even the most complex stitching patterns. 

2. Real-Time Monitoring Technology 

In the apparel industry, it can be difficult to monitor the productivity of sewing machines during a workday. Now, new smart sewing machines can be connected to a smartphone so that managers can oversee the output of their employees on the shop floor in real time. 

3. Modular Machines 

Modular machines make it possible for creative sewers to change out various parts of their machines to suit their specific needs at any given time, allowing sewers to pick and choose only the features they need and nothing they don’t.   

4. Voice Guiding Technology 

What if your sewing machine could let you know when a technical failure is occurring so you could fix the problem immediately? Many newer sewing machines on the market today have this useful feature and even give suggestions for problem-solving. 

5. Mobile Phone Setting Control 

Changing the settings on your sewing machine can be time-consuming and tricky. Luckily, the ability to control settings through a few taps on your mobile phone is sweeping the industry. 

6. USB Ports 

New USB ports on sewing machines allow their users to conveniently copy and transfer settings between machines, making it easy to move seamlessly from one project to another. 

7. Automatic Bobbin Changing 

Needing to stop and replace your bobbin can take extra time that many busy seamstresses don’t have. Many modern sewing machines, particularly embroidery machines, are now designed with automatic bobbin replacement capabilities to streamline the user’s workflow.
