And I'm not rude low cost - A Sewing machines that was rescued at the curb the night before garbage collection, another was $ 10 at a garage sale. Pennys http://www.cet.com/ ~ / Questions common / What I smfaq.htm for beginners to sew: - a machine that does not scare you - a machine that does not resist (cheap new machines are often reluctant or need a change in frequency and seldom can be repaired - good zigzag (4-5 mm is fine, the more the sauce) - - Just too frustrating to learn) - Very good point of law to a method of making buttonholes that makes sense to you - adjustable presser foot pressure (which helps management issues of the fabric) - accessory presser feet that do not cost an arm and a leg (machines that use a "short shank foot" typically handle generic presser feet pretty well. Some brands of machines use proprietary or very expensive levers) If the budget stretches far enough: - blind hem stitch invisible point stretch - triple zigzag (nice for elastic applications) - a couple of decorative stitches (do not use nearly as much as you think) - electronic machine for control of needle position and because stepper motors will "Drilling force" to stop sewing speed - mechanical machines often will stall at low speed.

If you try it, try some machines (sewing, not combo sewing-embroidery) over your price limit, so you can see what the difference in stitch quality and ease of use might be. You may find that you want to go for the used Cadillac. Or you may want the new basic Chevy. It may well try both.
