The kind of projects I’d like to attempt are simple clothes for my kids and tote bags and to be able to repair/ hem clothing. I’ve never used a sewing machine in my life. My only experience with needle and thread is cross-stitch and replacing buttons. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought a brother 2600 i machine, even though it looks confusing, once you do it it is so easy. It even has a needle threader. I sew everything from little kids books, to quilts on it. I love it, and it isn’t really expensive.

I don’t like to sew but I know that Wal-mart has several different style and brands right now. You may want to look there.
