The main difference between a full-size machine and a mini sewing machine is that the working area on the bottom of your mini sewing machine will be smaller than a regular one, making it more suitable for detailed work. Although there are fewer built-in stitches in this type of machine, they can still do most jobs you’ll need them to do. Mini sewing machines are also much cheaper than their bigger counterparts. This means you get all the benefits of owning your model without having to pay through your nose for it.
