I have decided to start sewing, but i need some tips and some good brands of sewing machines for starters. Please Help!
I’m hooked on Brother sewing machines. They start at around $100 and go up from there. I’ve owned several brands over the years, and found that Brothers are very reliable and the easiest to learn.
My advice is to start with something simple, like a pillow case, tablecloth, or apron. Get to know your machine and how to cut fabric and sew a nice straight line. Once you’re confident with that, look for patterns marked “easy”. Simplicity makes a line called “It’s so easy” for adult and kids clothing, and accssories like tote bags and purses, that are great for beginners.

the number one tip I have for you is to buy your sewing machine from sewing machine store. You can get a good trade in model for lower price than a new. The major reason to buy it there is because you will get free lessons on how to use your machine. How to thread it and wind the bobbin, to make a button hole, use the zipper foot. Learning how to use a sewing machine can be very frustrating by yourself.
Buying from a sewing machine store gives your a base to come back to when you have a problem.
Bernia, Pfaff and Viking are all great machines.
For a little lower end try White.
