I sew drapes as a hobby. What would be the best sewing machine to use?

By admin | May 25, 2010

poodle mom asked:


I love to sew and have been sewing for many years, mainly drapes, pillows, duvets. I need a sewing machine that will be heavy duty, straight stitch, blind hem stitch, et. I currently have a Singer Scholastic. A few years ago I bought a Juki - without really thinking it through - it was heavy duty but sewed 3000 stitches per min. I could not control it and gave up and sold it. Any suggestions from someone who sews these types of things would be helpful.
