The EASIEST sewing machine for dummies are the ones with the little push buttons on the front with the picture of the stitch printed on each button.
I was AMAZED how easy it was with those darn picture buttons
I also found if you buy one with these picture "Stitch Buttons" it's best to go for the one that is a bit better then basic. Basic is Ok but if you get the one with about 40 stitches you get some cute fancy stitches that are SIMPLE. OH and each button ususlly means 2 different stitches per button.
Hope you understood all that because i don't know technical terms.....LOL
