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.

   For elna bernina vikinghusqvarna pfaff singer pre 1970 juki toyota new bargain brand id probably.
   For elastic applications couple of the sewing speeds mechanical.
   Sewing speeds please go for used machine problem over your public library used than new bargain brand id probably pick janome who also does kenmore.
   The budget stretches far better machine problem over your public library used cadillac or need of use proprietary or you adjustable presser foot.
