What is a good starter sewing machine?

By admin | October 15, 2008

Livia asked:


I’m looking for cheap but decent sewing machine. I’m not going to be sewing anything heavy duty just small bags and garments. What’s a good machine to start with and what type of features would be the most helpful?

      I have a Brother & love it. Make sure it sew straight & zig zag. After that, the options are endless. I would avoid an electronic machine as a starter, manual machines are much more straight-forward. However, if you see yourself doing lots of fancy embroidery, then that may be the way to go. Try. It’s a consumer based sited where people write reports on 1000’s of different products. I used it when I bought my last machine and it was very helpful. Good luck & have fun!
