You’ve made the leap into the fantastic world of craft soap making and you are now starting to wonder about what kind of a pillow stuffing machine to get for your home. This can be a very important investment as your investment decisions should not be based on “what looks cool” or what your friends have access to. Here are a few questions that you should be asking yourself to help you make the right decision.
What is the best material for my needs? If you need to make a wide variety of balls, or if your machine will be used in a very cold environment, you’ll want to get something with a high thermal conductivity and excellent moisture resistance. The higher the moisture resistance, the longer the machine can last and the easier it will be to keep clean and dry.
Do I have to purchase my raw materials separately? A good pillow stuffing machine does come with a raw material container. This container comes with the machine, instructions, and all of your necessary parts. It also includes a sheet of latex and a few bags of essential oils. All you have to do is follow the instructions and do your job. You won’t have to worry about purchasing anything else to use in your machine.
Will using polyester fiber in my pillow stuffing machine affect my ability to create beautiful items? Yes, you may run into a bit of difficulty with using polyester fiber as your raw material. The high moisture content and tendency for the material to expand during use make it difficult to work with. A good alternative would be a cotton/spandex blend stuffing which is relatively easy to work with and more affordable than polyester.
What is a foam stabilizer? A foam stabilizer is an important part of any pillow machine. It is used to maintain the consistency of the finished product, especially if it’s large or will be used repeatedly. A foam stabilizer helps to level off the pillow fibers and keep them from getting too thin and fluffy when stuffed.
Will a dryer or tumble dryer be able to fit in my machine? Most of these machines are very lightweight and can be disassembled for easy storage. They also typically come complete with their own accessories and hose for cleaning. The small size of the machine may make it difficult to dry off the finished product unless you have a drying rack that you connect to the machine. If you decide not to purchase a foam stabilizer, the polyester fiber pillow stuffing machine may be able to be cleaned manually using a damp cloth.
Is the machine easy to set up? The best way to learn about how to set up your pillow stuffing machine is to read the product description. The product description will give you basic instructions such as what size to buy and how to hook the machine up. It will also tell you the type of attachment to use on the machine and the type of fabric to use. Some machines only accept a standard pillow and do not require any other attachments. This is the kind of machine most people are familiar with and is usually the best choice for people just starting out.
What do the ratings mean? When you’re reviewing the pillow stuffing machine, look at the rating for the manufacturer. The manufacturers with the highest ratings are the ones you should buy from. Some brands of commercial used automatic sewing machines have high ratings because they are durable and long lasting. Durable means that the product won’t need to be replaced as often as other brands and also means that they don’t have many complaints from consumers.
