Sewing Machine Reviews For Designers And Hobbyists
If you are dreaming of making your own clothes or making clothes for selling, then you should have the best equipment on hand. One main factor to your success is the kind of sewing machine you use. A sturdy machine is a good thing, especially when you are sewing heavy material like leather or denim. But sturdiness is not the only factor to consider when choosing a sewing machine. Your machine should have features that allow you to express your creativity to the fullest.If you have an old sewing machine and it has become too old to be serviceable, you need a new one. Read some sewing machine reviews to learn about the best ones. Searching for these reviews is worth it if you want to make an intelligent purchase. One machine that is recommended for beginners is Singer 7442. This lightweight machine is a favorite among those who are still new at sewing. Easy transportation is important if you’re in the business of mending and altering rental gowns. If it is light enough for moving from one place to another, bringing it along with you when you go to another place is easy. There are already some stitches installed so any beginner can sew decently as soon as the machine arrives. It's a machine that can tolerate mistakes on your part. When the machine detects trouble, it stops what it's doing so that you can correct the error. Another subject of good reviews include Brother PC-420, which is one of the more famous machines. The latest model of this machine has been used in Project Runway, a popular reality series featuring up and comers in the designing industry. Since the time this machine has been featured in the designing reality show, it has been known as the ‘designer’s machine’. If the contestants can create the best designs with it in a few hours, so can you. One good thing about Brother PC-420 is that you can pre-program the stitches so that you only have to push a button when you need that stitch pattern. An LCD screen can show you precisely which stitches you want to use. The Brother PC-420 can serve as your extra worker when you're in the business of making clothes. The automatic features like the threader and the thread cutter can save you time. For more information visit:Sewing Machine ReviewsBrother PC-420

Frequently Asked Questions...
Which Brother sewing machine?
I'm a beginner, I don't want a machine that is going to fall apart soon but I also hadn't planned on spending $400 either. I am totally stuck on this and I change my mind 3 times per day. EEK! Should I by the Brother CS6000I for $175 or go for the Brother PC-210 for $400? I really don't want a machine that's going to break but I'm choking on that $400. There is nothing in between and I prefer Brother.
Answer:
There's actually plenty in between if you consider used instead of new machines.... and even some well under your starting price...

What I want for beginners in sewing:
- a machine that doesn't scare you
- a machine that isn't balky (cheap new machines are often very
balky or need adjustments often and are rarely repairable --
just too frustrating to learn on!)
- very good straight stitch
- good zigzag (4-5 mm is fine, more than that is gravy)
- a method of making buttonholes that makes sense to you
- adjustable presser foot pressure (which helps some fabric
handling issues)
- accessory presser feet that don't cost an arm and a leg
(machines that use a "short shank foot" typically handle
generic presser feet pretty well. Some brands of machines use
proprietary or very expensive presser feet)
If the budget stretches far enough:
- blindhem and stretch blindhem stitches
- triple zigzag (nice for elastic applications)
- a couple of decorative stitches (you won't use them nearly as
much as you think)
- electronic machine because of the needle position control and
because the stepper motors give you full "punching force" at
slow sewing speeds -- mechanical machines often will stall at
slow speeds.
Please go to the best sewing machine dealers around and ask them
to show you some machines in your price range, *especially* used
machines you can afford. You'll get a far better machine buying
used than new, and a good dealer is worth their weight in sewing
machine needles when you get a machine problem -- often they can
talk you through the problem over the phone. While you're trying
things out, try a couple of machines (sewing only, not combo
sewing-embroidery) over your price limit, just so you can see
what the difference in stitch quality and ease of use might be.
You may find you want to go for the used Cadillac. Or you might
want the new basic Chevy. Might as well try both out.
Suggested reading: John Giordano's The Sewing Machine Book
(especially for used machines), Carol Ahles' Fine Machine Sewing
(especially the first and last few chapters) and Gale Grigg
Hazen's Owner's Guide to Sewing Machines, Sergers and Knitting
Machines. All of these are likely to be available at your public
library.
Used brands I'd particularly look for: Elna, Bernina,
Viking/Husqvarna, Pfaff, Singer (pre 1970), Juki, Toyota
New "bargain brand" I'd probably pick: Janome (who also does
Kenmore).
