Recommend your basic sewing machine
So I'm going to start sewing again...I haven't since high school. I had a sewing machine in my basement that my mom had gotten at a garage sale...well after years of collecting dust, I finally looked at it... and well it's a relic and I can't get it to catch the bobbin.
Anyway - I think I'm going to take the plunge and buy a fairly simple new machine...anyone have any recs? I'll be sewing mostly light fabrics for pillowcases/curtains/aprons/ dresses for LO , etc.
Thanks!
Re: Recommend your basic sewing machine
singer makes a basic one. I have always like their brand. I know Costco has one in their ads or online then of course check joann's they have coupons all the time and you may even try the sewing machine shop on 72nd st. Next to the battery place just south of NFM. You may be able to get a good deal on a used one to get you started again.
My MIL has a $$$$ berina that she doesn't know how to use.
I am not sure what they have for a basic one and it's costs. There is a berina store here in town I think up north off of 90th st. maybe???
Highly reccomend this one:

I never sewed a stitch in my life before I bought it. And I was able to teach myself no problem. It's really easy to thread, and to thread the bobbin and get that set up.
I was just going to post this. :-)
