How To Choose Between Single And Multi-needle Quilting Machine

          We have introduced the characteristics of the stitch of quilting machines in the last article, this time we will teach you how to choose the quilting machine that most suits you.

          Quilting machines can be divided into single-needle quilting machines and multi-needle quilting machines according to the number of needles. Next, I will introduce the differences between the two in four aspects.

          First of all, in terms of production capacity, multi-needle quilting machines are much higher than single-needle quilting machines. Multi-needle quilting machines are generally three-row needles, while single-needle machines are generally single-needle operation.Take our company's GM-DZ5, Automatic computerized single needle quilting machine and GM-M5, Computerized Chain Stitch Multi-Needle Quilting Machine for comparison,the productivity of single-needle machine can reach up to 200m/h, while the productivity of multi-needle machine can reach up to 300m/h.

          Secondly, from the point of view of pattern sewing, single-needle quilting machine is more flexible than multi-needle quilting machine. The most important requirement for the pattern sewn by the multi-needle quilting machine is that it needs to be continuous and symmetrical. In addition, the pattern also needs to have a certain scale. That is to say, the multi-needle quilting machine mainly sews multiple regular patterns. The single-needle quilting machine has a more flexible pattern, and it can be customized to draw on quilted items.This is something that a multi-needle quilting machine cannot satisfy. If the multi-needle quilting machine is a row of pens writing on the object at the same time, then the single-needle quilting machine is more like a brush painting on the object.

          Next, in terms of floor space, single-needle machines are generally larger than multi-needle machines. The total volume of our multi-needle machine GM-M5 is L5400*W1650*H2050mm, covering an area of about 9 square meters; while the total volume of our single-needle machine GM-DZ5 is L9900*W3800*H1600mm, covering an area of about 38 square meters.

          Finally, referring to the content of the previous article, single-needle machines are generally lock stitch quilting, and the bobbin thread needs to be replaced after about 200 meters of sewing;while multi-needle machines are normally chain stitch, which does not need to replace the bobbin thread.It is more convenient and fast.

          Generally, if you are just starting a factory and want to expand the market quickly, then we will recommend you to purchase a multi-needle quilting machine to meet the needs of high-efficiency and large-scale production. If you already have a certain scale, and now you want to produce more high-end quilting items with more complex and special patterns, then we would recommend purchasing a single-needle quilting machine.

          Of course, it's all up to your own choice. According to your own needs, according to the needs of production capacity, the choice of pattern, the size of the factory, and the lock or chain stitch sewing, it is the most important to make a more suitable choice for yourself.
