I know that feeling well. I was constantly taking my old machine for repairs. After reading a blog post about the hidden costs of downtime, I realised it was holding my business back. The reliability of proper industrial sewing machines is the biggest relief — they're built to run all day without complaining. I haven’t had a single day of unexpected downtime since. At one point, I browsed through options here: https://www.sewingtime.co.nz/collections/industrial-sewing-machines— just to get a sense of what was out there. It helped me understand the difference.
