Furniture machines by type.
Machine type is the core of the furniture catalog, the sewing stations that assemble upholstered furniture: single and double needle machines for cushions and covers, long arm machines for large sofa panels, walking foot stations that carry heavy layered upholstery, and decorative stitch machines for the visible seams on a finished piece. It is where most furniture buyers start.
Upholstery is heavy, layered, and often leather or thick woven fabric, so a furniture machine needs stronger feed and more clearance than an apparel one. A walking foot moves layered cushion assemblies without shifting; a long arm reaches across a sofa back; a heavy duty station drives thick thread through a welted seam a lighter machine could not close.
These stations sit at the center of the upholstery floor, assembling the cut and prepared components into cushions, covers, and the soft parts of a frame. Choosing along the machine type axis means matching feed and clearance to the upholstery weight you build, the panel size the piece demands, and whether the seam is structural, decorative, or both.
