I also bought a brother when I first started, I think they give you a lot of bang for the buck. I bought a few steps up from the one Alora posted, and bought it on Amazon. Frankly I think that you can get better deals there than on Black Friday and pick the one you want. The thing that made it sooooo much easier for me was that the machine came with a DVD that showed you threading, and bobbin winding, and button hole sewing. I would set my laptop un there the machine and watch it over and over again. I am not much for bookets that give directions, visual is what works for me. Husqvarna is very good but normally more pricy, that is the line they carry at JoAnns and I believe it comes with classes. Joann's runs specials on Singers but you can't get lessons on how to use it there. |
