Answer» 1. The power sewing machine is much faster as it stitches an average of 5000 stitches per minute. An average home sewing machine makes no more than 800 stitches while a hand sewing machine would stitch a maximum of 300 stitches per minute. 2. The presser foot in a power machine is controlled with a knee lift, but in a home sewing machine it is operated manually using a lever at the back of needle bar. 3. The throat plate in a home sewing machine is often marked with seam guides which an industry machine does not have. 4. In the industrial sewing machine or power machine the presser foot has a narrow opening between the two toes and it holds fabric more securely and firmly. 5.
