  • Saves energy

Plus, thanks to the servo motor, your machine will use up to 90% less energy than sewing machines that use a clutch motor. This makes the New Tech machine a greener choice for any conscientious buyer. 

The Servo Motor

New Tech sewing machines do something a bit different than most other industrial and professional machines on the market. These machines are fixed with a servo motor, rather than a more traditional clutch motor. The servo motor provides great advantages to your sewing machine, including using up to 90% less energy. This makes the New Tech machine more ecofriendly than most machines on the market, and it means that this motor runs cooler, giving you a work environment that is much easier to work in. 

The servo motor that is on the New Tech machines allows for a more responsive pedal that enables you to start and stop the machine immediately, while also easily regulating the speed of the motor through the use of a simple knob. This means that you can press on the foot as hard or light as you want, and the speed will stay the same.

With a servo motor, you also have the ability to reverse the motor rotation with just a flick of a switch. Plus, there are no parts for you to wear out. This means you should get plenty of years’ worth of use out of your servo motor.

Because the speed of the servo motor is so easy to control, you will have a greater sewing experience, making these perfect for both the beginning and seasons sewist. 

While you can purchase the sewing machines as “head only,” it is highly recommended that you include the servo motor to get the best experience when using your New Tech machine.

How to Decide Which New Tech Is Best for You

So you’ve decided to buy a New Tech machine? Congratulations! You have made a great choice! Now, you need to pick out which one suits your needs the best. Here are some things you may want to keep in mind when picking out your first New Tech sewing machine. 

Home vs. Industrial? 

One thing you need to consider when choosing a machine is how you will be using it and where it is going to go. Are you going to need an industrial machine, and if so, do you have the room for it? If you don’t have a lot of space, this may limit the size of the machine you want to buy. Industrial machines tend to be a lot heavier than your typical home machine, and if you decide to use the table it comes with, you may need additional space. 

Light or Heavy Machine? 

New Tech machines tend to be a bit heavy, but this is because they are quality built machines that will provide you with a more stable sewing experience. With these machines, you will experience less vibration than with a lighter machine.

Keep Your New Tech Machine Operating for Years to Come

New Tech sewing machines are known for being durable and long-lasting, and if you want to get the most out of your machine, then you should know how to take care of it so you can keep it in proper working order for years to come. Here are some tips you should follow to keep your New Tech sewing machine going: 

  • Unless your New Tech is self-lubricating, be sure to regularly oil your machine. Check your user manual to find out how often you should be oiling your machine. 
  • Keep your New Tech sewing machine clean by removing any dust, lint, or stray threads
  • When your New Tech is not in use, keep it covered to avoid unwanted dust from settling on the machine.
  • When cleaning your machine, do not use canned air, as this can push unwanted dust further into your machine.

With the proper care, you don’t have to worry about your New Tech machine breaking down or losing any quality in your stitching. Make maintenance part of your routine so you can keep on sewing!

What Are Sewing Scissors Used For?

Fabric-specific scissors and shears are used for one thing: cutting fabric.

They should cut smoothly and cleanly and feel comfortable when you use them. You should always use the appropriate type of scissors and shears for your fabric if you want them to last and you want your fabric to cut cleanly.

Using your sewing scissors to cut anything but fabric is a quick way to ruin a good, and possibly expensive, pair of scissors. Keep them sheathed or otherwise properly stored when not in use and always use a different pair of scissors for paper and other non-fabric cutting applications.

Choosing the Right Scissors for Your Fabric

Different types of scissors have specific functions, such as spring-mounted thread clippers, which are perfect for opening buttonholes and snipping off thread ends in everyday sewing. Dressmaker shears are designed to cut just about any type of fabric, from fine silks and cotton to the heaviest denim and leather.  Synthetics tend to shred a little with dressmaker shears and standard fabric scissors, so serrated-edged scissors are a much better choice. These Mundial shears have cushioned handles and micro-serrated stainless steel edges that ensure clean cuts without slipping.

What to Look for In A Pair of Scissors or Shears + -

Of course, you want to look for a good quality brand. At Goldstar Tool, we carry brands like Mundial, Wescott, Wiss, and our own Goldstar brand of scissors. Scissors can be expensive, but price isn’t always a good indicator of how good they are. Just because they are pricey does not automatically make them good. Stainless steel forged blades are strong, sharp, and will last a long time. When choosing a good pair of blades, you should ask yourself… Are they comfortable? If they don’t feel right when you’re cutting, they’re not right for you. A good pair of shears should be sharp and cut cleanly through your fabric from the start to the end. Of course, with use, they may need sharpening, which should restore them to a like-new condition. However, if they don’t cut well when they’re new, sharpening really won’t help, and it may be time to invest in a better pair. When you buy new shears or scissors, ask yourself… Is it the right type for your needs? Do you need a longer set of dressmaker shears, or would a pair of offset scissors work better? Will they cut thin fabrics as well as thicker fabrics, or do you need a separate pair for heavier materials? Remember that a good pair of scissors is an investment, so put some thought into your choice and be sure to take care of them. Repeatedly buying inexpensive scissors that you throw away can add up to a costly expense. 

Types of Shears + -

Dressmaker shears are the most important scissors to have. Heavier than traditional scissors, they’re designed to cut fabrics of all types and typically do so very well. These Mundial shears are engineered for right-handed or left-handed users, and come in 6”, 7” and 8” models (including left-handed 8”.) Our Goldstar brand 8-inch forged stainless steel shears cut the entire length of the blade, all the way to the tip. If you prefer pinking shears, we have two types from the GoldStar line. Our heavy-duty shears have classic metal handles, and the other has cushioned plastic handles. For the quilter, Mundial professional quilting scissors in either 5 ½,” 8 ½, or 9 ½” offer soft grip cushioned insert handles for comfort and extended use.  Do you enjoy applique work? Our Mundial applique scissors help you make quick work of trimming around appliques, as well as evenly trimming Are buttonholes your nemesis? Our exclusive buttonhole scissors have a screw that stops you from cutting through your carefully made buttonholes. Safer than regular scissors or a scalpel, the screw limits your cutting length, so you cut exactly the length you need.

Other Cutting Products + -

Keep your scissors handy with a leather belt/hip holster, animal print belt holster or a lanyard that hangs around your neck. These will keep your shears handy and always available. Rotary cutters are a great way to do precise, fast cuts with ease. Goldstar Tool’s rotary cutters make fast work of whatever you need to cut. We also carry the replacement blades for all of our rotary cutting tools. Straight paper cutting is fast and easy with Westcott Titanium Bonded Paper Trimmer. It trims up to ten sheets of paper quickly with a completely safe, no-touch covered blade assembly.

Caring for Your Shears and Scissors

Caring for Your Shears and Scissors

Keeping Your Shears and Scissors in Tip Top Shape + -

The first thing you should NEVER do is cut anything but fabric with your scissors and shears intended for fabrics. The second is to never cut into a pin or needle since it will damage them permanently. When you’re finished using your shears, the best thing you can do is wipe the blades with a dry cloth to remove lint, threads, dust, and other small particles that can make them harder to use. Synthetic fibers can also dull the blades. Clean away the dry particles after every use. Keep your shears and scissors working smoothly with a small drop of quality sewing machine oil in the fulcrum or the pivot screw. Carefully open and close them a few times (point down) to distribute the oil, and wipe them, spreading some of the remnant oil over the blades. You want to oil your scissors and shears about once a month, more if you use them daily.  Of course, be careful not to drop them, or they could be damaged to the point of being unworkable.

Sharpening Your Shears and Scissors + -

When they just don’t cut like they used to, sharpening is a must to prevent damage to your fabrics. You may have heard that cutting through aluminum foil steel wool and/or sandpaper as a way to quickly sharpen your dulled scissors. Despite their popularity, we don’t recommend these methods. Think about it—if you shouldn’t use your sewing shears and scissors for paper and other things, or attempt to cut through a pin or needle, why would you use either of these to sharpen a blade? There are better ways to sharpen your shears at home or in your commercial shop. Need something small and efficient to keep around? These handy Scissors And Blade Sharpeners are economical, convenient, and sharpen on the fly. Our ExtremEdge V2 Knife and Shear Sharpener is a fast, easy way to sharpen non-serrated scissors and knives safely.
