Sewing Machine

Recommended Posts

I need to buy a new sewing machine as my trusty mini sewing machine can't do quilting ( you can't get a walking foot for it).

 

Do I:

 

1, Go to my nearest shop ( in Bury St Edmunds- 40 mins drive away) and buy a branded model ( at around £200 including a walking foot)

 

2, buy a no name machine from http://www.jsm-distributordirect.com/ and a generic walking foot (this is the cheapest option)

 

3, buy a Bernina through the quilting shop and take advantage of of the free lessons/ support available through the shop ( and have to save up for a bit longer)

 

Words of wisdom gratefully recieved...................

Hi

 

After much deliberation I decided that I really couldn't justify spending £700 on a Bernina so I bought a Jenome Jem Platinum that came with a free lesson and free quilting kit (all the feet and a clip on table thingy) from the shop in Bury St Edmunds ( the staff were lovely too).

 

I got to have a play with the demo model and it was lovely, loads of fancy stitches and runs really smoothly.LMW also had a go and declared it fantastic (she's very excited 'cause she will get the mini sewing machine)

You'll have fun on the course - it's not too bad and I think you'll get the hang of it very quickly, but when you do it at home I would have a practice with a bit of paper first to get used to it again. And don't do what I did - stare at it without blinking till my eyes watered! :lol:
