Sewing Machine For Beginners

June 26, 2016 by Angie 4 Comments

Today I’m going to talk about sewing machines ….

Everyone has their favorites … just like cameras …. you’re either a Nikon fan or a Canon fan …. or somewhere in the middle.

The same can be said for sewing machines!

Personally my most FAVORITE sewing machine will be my BERNINA 350 SE!  

I have the Tula Pink version … I’d love the have the Best Friend version below (the Special Edition machines change designs every so often).

But … I realize they are not in the budget for a person brand new to sewing.

So, earlier this year I bought a Brother machine so that I could test it out and give it my seal of approval.

If you are brand new to sewing …. I recommend the

Brother Project Runway PC420PRW 294-Stitch Professional Grade Computerized Sewing Machine

I have taken it back and forth to the lake house to make sure it travels well and it does.  It also has all my favorite features, knee lift, self threader and a thread cutter.

With all that being said …. if you get hooked on sewing like I have …. stop by your local Bernina Store and test out of one of their machines ….  (the difference has to be seen in person).

See ya later~

    Thank you Angie for the information on the sewing machines. I have an old Baby Lock and its been a good little machine-but lately I am having so much trouble with the 1/4 inch for the quilts…this will help me to check out the machines. Just need to save up for the purchase. Have a good week and again thank you.

    Yes, Bernina is a expensive sewing machine BUT I’ve had mine for over 30 years and it still works GREAT!! I highly recommend spending the money for a machine that will last you for a long time.

    Hi Angie,
    Thanks for sharing your experience with the Brother machine. I am on my second Brother machine. Nothing wrong with my first, it’s just that I up graded to a machine that has 3 speed settings which I love and I can put it on automatic without having to use the foot pedal. Another feature that I like.
    I just wish people didn’t think they have to have what you have to enjoy sewing.
    Have a good day.

      hey Lesa, I think many people want what I have because I will help them or at least answer their questions.
