Is there a sewing machine that threads itself and the bobbin? I've been thinking what I want for my bday and decided hey what about a sewing machine? But is their such a thing as one that is automatic threading as well as the bobbin? I don't know how to sew, so I'm looking for the easiest way to get started :rolleyes: |
LOL..you're too cute! I'm not sure about this...I've never seen one, but then, it never crossed my mind. I do know that my bobbin winder is pretty simple to use, but you have to rethread the machine when you're done...they make a little bobbin winder though if you don't want to be bothered with that; I've seen them at Walmart. I think they're called a "Sidewinder" or something similar. It's really not difficult to thread and do the bobbins once you learn how and wherever you buy from will show you all that. Also, every machine is a little different, so even when you know how to do it, there's still a bit of a learning curve from one machine to the next! Good luck! I'd love to have the machine Martha Stewart has.....it's awesome! |
Hi Breny -- How exciting -- a new sewing machine! I LOVE sewing machines. I am not familar with all the brands and some of the new-fangled bells and whistles you can get on machines.... but ..... if you are just starting out simple is best. I have a top of the line Singer - Quantum XL-6000 that has an automatic threader and a "never ending bobbin". Unless you are going to do some heavy duty sewing and embroidering I wouldn't recommend this one to get started. The machine that I do most of my sewing on is a mid priced Singer, it has several stitches built in and sews beautifully and is wonderfully simple to use. It doesn't have an automatic threader or bobbin filler, but both are very easy operations. It does, however, have a needle threader -- which rocks. If you would like to talk machines, send me a pm and we can exchange phone #'s. |
I don't know of one that does everything on it's own. I'm sure there is something out there, but I suspect it would be difficult to use. I have a mid-line computerized Brother that I think is very easy to use. You do have to set up the bobbin winding, but it does have an "automatic" needle threader (though I can't get it to work!). Feel free to PM me for details. |
Brenyyyyy you are so funny!! LOL If I can thread and wind my bobbin, girl so can you! I have a Sears Janome and I like it. |
I would suggest a very simple machine if you are just starting. I think i started on the $60 walmart special. I now have one that has a few digital things and needle threader etc. but i never use those features. :rolleyes: |
Walmart carries an inexpensive Brother machine that is easy to use for a beginner. All you have to do is follow the arrows to thread it and wind the bobbin. It really isn't that difficult. Always read through the patterns first to be sure you have everything you need. Best of luck and happy sewing!!!! |
My very first sewing machine was a Pfaff 7550. I absolutely love it! You have to thread it but even my granddaughter (9 years old) can do it. Filling the bobbin is just as easy. I opted for this one because of the demo and how easy it was. Also, he sewed through naugahyde and then on the sheerest of fabrics without making any adjustments....I was (and still am) impresesed. I have had this one for over ten years and had NO problems with it at all. Ever. I also have a Baby Lock Eclipse serger that is self threading. It has no bobbin. It is also a wonderful machine. Whatever you decide to get, take your time in making the decision. The most importan consideration is what you want the machine to do.....and how 'problem free' you want it to be. |
If you find one of these, please let me know.:D I'm just learning how to sew so the easier the better. I just got my first machine a month or so ago. It is a Singer Simple from Walmart. It was only about $100. It has about 20 different stitches and does button holes. I've never sewn before and I think this is really easy to use. It came with a DVD, which helped a lot. I have my first sewing class on the 13th so if all goes well and I really like sewing maybe I'll upgrade down the road. |
I agree that you should think about what you are going to use it for before you go buy a machine. I have a top of the line Brother and I bought it 14 years ago and it has only had to be in the repair twice and it was just to be cleaned. Some of the cheaper models that you buy have all plastic gears and are basically disposable machines. They will break down and it will cost more to fix them than to buy another machine. Just something to think about! |
