Choosing the Best and Cheapest Sewing Machines for Beginners
I know what it's like.
There's a ton of models out there, with some great names and brands to choose from.
And with today's competitiveness and availability of machines online, the choices have gotten even harder...
So, which to choose? Well, I've been sewing for many years.
Remember those old Singer sewing machines your granny used to have? Well, that's how I first started out...
Things have evolved over the years of course, and now everything is pretty much computerized, and much easier.
But it's still hard to choose the right model, whether it's for you or for someone as a present /an introduction to sewing.
Over my many years of sewing I've used and abused a variety of models.
Some I've even sworn like a trooper at, trust me on that one! Especially those first few computerized ones that sold a dream but delivered a nightmare! In the last few years I've tried some of the supposedly *luxury* models, and while they have their features, I've often come back to the simpler, better value (in my opinion anyway) sewing machines.
For beginners today there are some real finds - and that includes some of the real big name brands, like Brother and Singer.
The biggest tip I can give you when you are searching for your cheap or beginner sewing machine is don't just look at the price! Look at how comfortable and easy to use it is.
Does it have too many bits and bobs that just inflate the price beyond what you need? And lastly, check out real online reviews for real, genuine feedback from users - don't just take the manufacturer's/salesperson's word for it!
