What is a good sewing machine for a beginner on a college budget?
EmeraldLillian asked:
I am a dabbler in the arts (so far I have made jewelry, drawn, painted, cooked, danced, sung, acted, and sculpted) and I would like to start getting into sewing and making clothing. I attempted to hand sew a couple of garments but ran into WAY too many problems. I go to college, but will be graduating in a year or so. I would like to start making the designs in my head, but I have no machine and don’t really know where to start looking for a good one. I have a couple of part time jobs right now so I figure I can afford to spend up to about $100. That’s about half of one paycheck for me. My parents are helping me pay for school. I know I would still have to buy patterns and other materials, but I really need the sewing machine to start out with. And if anyone has any advice as to patterns or easy materials to work with, it would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks for your help!
