How to find the best sewing machine for you
Machines come with lots of different add-ons, accessories and capabilities that may not be relevant to you and just add unnecessary cost, while other features you cannot sew without. Here are some specific features to look at before shopping:
✔️ Number and styles of stitches offered: For beginner sewers, you will need just two stitches: Straight and zig zag. More experienced sewers should look for a wider variety. For example, if you love embroidery or quilting, make sure you look for machines that provide those capabilities: If your machine doesn't offer embroidery or free motion sewing, those features cannot be added later on. Additionally, make sure the machine has the capability to adjust stitch length, zig zag width and tension so you have more control over your sewing.
✔️ Included accessories: Most machines include a bobbin and a presser foot, but some include much more. For the most bang for your buck, check if the machine includes a zipper foot, buttonhole foot, embroidery foot, removable extended work table and an area for storage.
✔️ Extra features: Some machines include specific capabilities that can make sewing a whole lot easier like a thread cutter, automatic needle threader, lights, free arm, blind stitching and buttonhole capabilities. Once you have them, sometimes you cannot imagine sewing on a machine without them.
✔️ Frame construction: For the longevity of the machine, you want to look for a metal frame option. Plastic frames are common, but can deteriorate quickly and be more difficult to repair.
As with all sewing machines, make sure to read the included manual carefully before sewing, as every machine has slightly different use and care instructions. Then, sew away!
