 Hello all, 

I want to ask all of you sewing aficionados: what is the best sewing machine out there? I finally have saved enough money to buy a sewing machine capable of producing professional quality clothes. I don't do embroidery so those functions do not matter to me as much. Would you have any recommendations on best brands and models? There is so much choice out there and little knowledge on my part, that I feel lost among all the models. Can a serger/overlock machine and a regular sewing machine come in one or do I have to buy them separately? 

Please share your expertise, I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks a million,

Natalie

Re: What is the best sewing machine?

Dear Natalie123,

I suggest that you purchase one standard and one serger (overlock) sewing machine. Since a serger can not replace a standard sewing machine. Sewing machines that are more than $300, are usually better quality.  

Hope this helps,

Re: Which sewing machine should I buy

Dear red173015,

I suggest that you get a machine in the $300 to $400 dollar range. Any machine in this price range will be able to handle both light and heavy weight fabrics.

When purchasing your machine take a few samples of fabric into the store and test the machine before buying.

Hope this helps.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
