Can a Sewing Machine Overheat?

Sewing machines have a number of moving parts that can become hot when in use and can overheat if overworked or poorly maintained.

Why Do Sewing Machines Overheat?

The longer they create friction, the more heat they generate. In other words, the longer you use your sewing machine, the higher the chances of overheating.

Signs Your Sewing Machine Is Getting Hot

Sound

If a sewing machine is getting hot, you should easily notice new, awkward sounds

Smell

As the sewing machine gets hotter, you may detect a slight burnt or charred odor.

Hot Motor Area

You can also verify how hot your sewing machine is through touch.
