    I saw a Brother lightweight DSM for sale at a Pfaff dealership with Project Runway emblazoned on the machine but I don't think it was the model that is used on the show. They do look like industrial machines to me because they probably can serge a seam.

    They are industrial machines -- made very differently from domestic models! They sew a lot faster, for one thing.
