I own several machines. I have a PFAFF 7550 (16yrs old). Still runs like a champ,but because it is computerized I take it in for PM once a year. It is easier to find a Bernina machine and a certified Bernina tech,,just incase. There is a Huskvona here that belongs to one of my daughters and she loves it. Most of the machines that I own are Singer and they are all 50 or more years old. Dont discount an older machine. They are mechanical,ya cannt hurt them as long as they were made before 1976,preplastic cogs. My altime favorite is Singer 401A, you put a little black cam in the top to do special stitches.
Unless you are an experiences sewer stick with a machine that isnt to fancy. I sew for the public,my PFAFF has 199 built in stitches and I dont use them very often.
When you do purchase,get a machine from a dealer so you can have some lessons on your new machine to help you get familiar with it and will have someone to call incase you have a problem with it.
Happy shopping!! |
