Semi-industrial just means it sews faster than a regular domestic machine. But not as fast as an industrial. The throat space is bigger than a regular domestic machine, but smaller than an industrial. It has the metal bobbin case instead of the plastic drop-in bobbin case that the rest of their domestic machines have. It's marketed as a quilting machine because it can do free-motion faster than your domestic, and it comes with 2 free-motion feet and a walking foot. And it has a cutter under the needle plate that can be activated by the foot control.
