What kind of sewing machine would be good to sew vinyl?
Filed Under Do It Yourself (DIY) | 3 Comments
Alex D asked:
I need to know what kind of sewing machine will be able to stand up to a heavy vinyl fabric. I’ll also need to do finishing work such as rolled edges. I think what I really might be looking for is a serger, but I wasn’t sure if they can sew in a plain straight line.

Sweet Voltaire asked:
I’ve started making my own clothes recently (mainly reconstructing old clothes), but I don’t have a sewing machine so I’ve been having to do it all by hand. What is a good, basic sewing machine that can speed things up a bit? I want to not only continue reconstructing clothes, but possibly making jackets, dresses, shirts, etc. from scratch. So it needs to be able to handle some more heavy-duty projects, too.

I am making shrug that has a ruffle all the way around the edge and a little ruffle for a cap sleeve. I sewed the ruffle on first and now I need to sew the lining to the fabric and leave a place to turn it. Where would be the best place where I would have the lest amount of hand sewing?

I have wanted a sewing machine for quite some time now but I am unsure of what type to get.
I used to know how to use them and I’m sure I can teach myself again but I have no idea what one I need. I will use it to make clothes and also curtains for my room. If anyone can give me some advice on a good brand or model to get I would greatly appreciate that.
I don’t want to spend too much but i want it to be a good one that will last a while.
Thanks!
