What’s a good sewing machine for someone beginning to make clothing?
By admin | December 7, 2008
start wearing purple asked:
I’ve started making my own clothes recently (mainly reconstructing old clothes), but I don’t have a sewing machine so I’ve been having to do it all by hand. What is a good, basic sewing machine that can speed things up a bit? I want to not only continue reconstructing clothes, but possibly making jackets, dresses, shirts, etc. from scratch. So it needs to be able to handle some more heavy-duty projects, too.

Go to Wal-Mart, they have anything from $80.00 and up. Penny’s has a real good Euro for $200.00
Some will try to get you into these 4 and 5 thousand dollar machines and, you probably wouldn’t use half the devices on them.
