What sewing machine should I expect?
I want one that will be sustainable, not too basic, has a good amount of accessories / extras and no one made extreme expert. I wanted to make a decent sewing machine for some time now, and my birthday is coming so I do some research so I can know what is best for me to ask. I took a sewing class couple so I know the basics (it should I am cool with it but I am a fast learner). I am a student of interior design and above all I am home type fabric sewing projects (pillows, curtains, bedding, embroidery possible) (and some repairs to clothing I'm sure) but not for me and for projects for school. It can certainly be more than $ 100 but $ 425 – $ 500 price is probably the max. Hopefully something less than that, but I want something that can be trusted and need not be replaced quickly and can be easily repaired if necessary. What do you think?
My first choice would be a Pfaff but it also depends on what you plan to do, quilting, etc. .. I would get a better machine, but I have a brother for years .. and will probably continue d ', got it at Wal Mart for less than 100. and it works well and does all the basics
