Tips for buying a sewing machine

Whether you’re a first time sewer or a well-fashioned dressmaker, picking the right type of sewing machine can often be a challenge. To help you, we’ve created a few useful tips to consider before you buy:

• Determine a price range- Stay away from overly cheap sewing machines without doing considerable research.  Make sure to only think of the amount that you are capable and willing to spend on a sewing machine. A good starting range is $100-$1500.
• Mechanical or computerised?- Modern machines are computerised and have a multitude of functions and are lighter in weight. However, for first-time stitchers, a mechanical machine is recommended as it is easier to master and often the high quality brands can often come at good bargain prices.
• Sewing machines parts- Look at what attachments come with the machine. What kind of stitches does it provide and are they adjustable? Depending on what you’re into (Quilting, sewing, embroidery or serging), have a look at what sewing supplies may assist you in these projects.
• What Brand?- Consider the reviews and recommendations of other people have provided to help determine which make and model suits your needs. Have a look at which stores sell sewing equipment to decide whether the machines are more for hobby or novelty purposes than long-lasting sewing.
• Where to buy?-  Look at both online and in-store sellers. You may prefer to see the manufacturer's’ website, or even purchasing one from a well-known retailer. Searching for sites which also provide people to purchase used-sewing machines are a useful avenue to purchase your machine.
