    Then I'd start looking at Janome -- I think they're probably one of the better makers of inexpensive machines. BTW, you don't want a cheap machine that won't be repairable.

    Read what I wrote someone else with a similar request:

    that's probable ok yet no extra desirable than ok and that i think of extra useful fee is an older gadget, bought from a place that sells and amenities stitching machines. that's like paying for a used Mercedes particularly of a clean Kia. it might desire to be previous however the huge-unfold remains there. I easily have a 30 twelve months previous gadget that still runs great and that's well worth approximately $seventy 5. no count if the clothing seem save bought or no longer relies upon lots extra on your very own stitching qualifications than the gadget you employ. you do no longer prefer all those fancy stitches. right this moment stitch and zig zag will do precisely approximately each and every thing you would be able to desire to do, and what they gained't do is probable extra useful carried out by utilising hand, like hems on skirts. I easily have a gadget equivalent to the only on your link. i exploit the extra stitches approximately thrice a twelve months, for relaxing, no longer using fact i prefer them. And that's the only stitching gadget i've got ever had that I controlled to interrupt. I in basic terms save it using fact I have already got it. i might particularly never purchase yet another.
