BUYING A SEWING MACHINE

We are asked all the time about what sewing machine to buy. It is a hard question to answer with so many options and prices for basic sewing machines. The first answer is to buy the best that you can currently afford. We also have done some homework for you with our top tips and special exclusive buys with our fav supplier.

Do....

  • Buy a quality machine from a good supplier with a brand name you recognise.
  • If buying a second hand machine (yes this can be a great option) ask the buyer to show you the basics and that the machine works well.
  • If you have a sewing machine, then you are best to start on your machine and see where the interest leads.

Don't...

  • Buy a "toy" sewing machine - they are so limited in their functions
  • Expect you or your child to know exactly what to do without help and support - you need to learn to "drive" your machine and know how it works.
  • Let a child use the machine on their own without supervision.

Best Buys...

  • Computerised machines that have a speed control - this is our top must have!
  • A top loading bobbin is easier to use than a front loading bobbin.
  • Simple threading machines with a needle threader from well respected modern dealer who provides excellent service
