Looking For the Right Sewing Machine

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

Purchasing the correct sewing machine for your needs can be a bit daunting if you don’t know what you are looking for. The first thing you need to determine is what you will be using it for. Different machines tend to do different jobs better than others.

I personally recommend sticking with the name brands such as Janome, Singer, or Husqvarna the main reason is because you can find dealers who are more then happy to do repairs on these machines when something goes wrong or they need a tune up. Some of the lesser known brands are not repairable and you will yourself spending money on a throw away machine. There are two machines that really stand out, though they are on different ends of the spectrum from one another.

If you will be doing quilting, you may wish to have a machine that has as large as possible of a throat area. This is the area of the machine between the controls and the needle. The larger the area you have, the more fabric you can get under it. Because of the amount of fabric you can fit, it makes these types of machines more suited for quilting. A good number of these machiens include a large set of decorative stiches which make for wonderful additions to your blankets. The Janome 6500 is a wonderful machine that has a lot of spacious area. You will pay a bit more for machines with this feature because they tend to be used more by professionals, but the machines don’t disappoint.

People that wish to do a bit of clothing sewing may not need as large of a machine as the Janome 6500. Those who like to sew crafts and clothing will like the Singer 7258 for it's size. You have a number of different stiches to select from, however the machien is lighter and smaller than the hefty Janome. The Singer 7258 is a very nice machine that gets great reviews from its users, and is incredibly well priced.
