Hi all, I am Tari and can't wait to start interacting. I am looking to start a sewing business. Will be making children clothes in mostly cotton fabrics. I need some advice on the 3 most important machinery I'll need. Does any one out there run a similar business? I'll also like advise on some very good quality longlasting Industrial sewing machines. Thanks and expecting to receive replies. Tari

Hi Tari and welcome to Sew Whats New.  Congratulations on starting your new business. I think a good industrial machine is a Juki for long hours of sewing. I have not used one myself but have heard good things from others about this machine. I also watched a news clip last night on a company who makes winter clothing here in Canada. Their machines were Juki. Does anyone else have any suggestions for Tari?

I was thinking Juki too...they're made for industrial work and LAST a long time...(they aren't computerized and don't have a lot of stitches, but they're metal and are workhorses..)

Tari, if you are starting a sewn product business, you should definitely check out www.fashion-incubator.com. Every question you could ever think of and a hundred more you couldn't will be answered on there. Also, Kathleen Fasanella, who runs the site has written a comprehensive book for anyone starting out in the business. It's called "The Entrepreneurs' Guide to Sewn Product Manufacturing" Good luck to you Karen V all art is lies that help us see the truth

Thanks so oooo much. Does anyone know the price of the Juki and apart from that do I need a Serger (heard so much about them on this forum), steam press etc. I want the clothes to have a very professional store-bought look. Are there any Professional sewing classes in the Canad area that era good too?/

Thanks for mentioning her site. Kathleen is certainly the expert in her field. She and I chat once in a while, what a hoot.
