What are some good sewing machines and tips for starters?
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.
Here's a couple of good sites with tips for beginning sewers;
