Purchasing a New Sewing Machine |
|
When purchasing a new sewing machine there is much to consider. Is
one a beginner? Is it for a child? Will you be sewing heavy duty fabrics
or quilts? How often will the machine be used? These are questions to take
into consideration. If you would be sewing a lot and enjoy embroidering on
fabric then I would suggest a machine that does so. If you are a new
sewer and not even sure if you will enjoy it or you are buying a machine
for a child who shows an interest but aren't quit sure yet if it's the
hobby they want to continue, then I would suggest a "White's" brand, or a
"Brother", or a "Singer". Spend no more than $350.00 BUT spend no
less than $125.00. Here at
Crafts of Chadds Ford we have 11 machines, and use 3 different models of
"White's" machines, ( a division of Viking) one Bernette, and
two Brothers. |
| I DO NOT suggest any one buying a simple "toy"
sewing machine that runs
about $40.-$60.00. They simply do not work as a machine to make
clothes or crafts and will only frustrate a child. As so will a
$2,000.00 computerized machine for a child or a new sewer.
I would
have to say this is the most common question that I get asked in my sewing
school. And I tell everyone the same thing that I have written
above.
