Maybe you’re one of the millions who is having fun with their sewing hobby that saves time and money as well as fostering a sense of deep satisfaction at the end of a project. Or maybe you haven’t cut into a piece of fabric for years but would like to get back into making your own clothes. If so, you might be surprised by how feature-laden the current generation of sewing machines has become.
The best sewing machine for you depends on your skill level and budget. Before buying a sewing machine, know your needs and skills. Consider how you might use the machine when your skills improve. Typically, people keep a sewing machine for at least 10 years.
Even the most basic machine should be able to handle a variety of fabrics without stretching or puckering the fabric or producing loose, loopy stitches.
When you sew, be sure to use the right needle. A dull one, or the wrong kind, can bend and damage the fabric and/or machine. Change your needles after every project or when switching fabric types. And at least every two years take your sewing machine in for a tune-up.
Buttonhole functions are either one-step, automatic or four-step. Automatic functions can achieve perfect buttonholes by putting a button in the buttonhole foot and the machine does the programming. One-step buttonholers may allow for sizing by placing a button on the foot and depend on the sewer to turn a dial to achieve results. Four-step buttons require manipulation of a dial, and steps of the buttonholes are completed by different settings.
Machines equipped with double needles (two needles in one shaft) simultaneously sew two lines. These are used in high-end sewing machines, as well as sergers and embroidery machines. Handy for topstitching, there are capabilities for 3-5 needles in some machines.
Generics are not a preferred brand for sewing machine parts. This applies to bobbins and needles as well. Using manufacturers’ parts and avoiding makeshift upgrades will achieve quality assurance. Brilliant needlework requires the proper tools.
For those who are looking for a top-notch performer with excellent reliability ratings, the Euro-Pro 7500XH Craft N’Sew is an excellent choice.
