Comments (15)In 2016, I asked for a fancy sewing machine for a holiday and my husband took me shopping (awww, isn’t he sweet?). I figured that because I used my sewing machine so much, I should invest in an expensive machine. I purchased a fancy Husqvarna Opal 690Q. I took the classes that came with it. It had lots of fancy stitches and all the bells and whistles. I hated it. If only someone had explained to me how to choose a sewing machine that met my needs– not theirs. Buying the most expensive sewing machine with new-fangled features is not necessarily the best move you can make. Before buying a machine, always ask yourself what you’re going to use it for, whether or not you need all the extra features or if they are something you can live without, given the kind of tasks you intend to do with your machine. Also consider what future use you may have for the sewing machine. For instance, if you aren’t doing embroidery stitches now but you are planning to do so in the near future, then getting in a machine that can handle embroidery might be a good idea. The best advice I can give is to look on Amazon (I know I know...local dealers are great too but the choice between machines is not the same). On Amazon you can kind read the reviews, and even test the machine during an entire month. Look atthe ones I've selected for you on Amazon...See MoreBest placement of sewing machine desk?
Comments (3)I have a big table in the middle of the room but closer to one wall since I don't walk around that side. I sew and have the ironing board on that one side close to the wall and the other three are for one more machine, cutting and sorting projects. I face a 'dresser" thing that holds lots of stuff because the small TV is on top of that. My design wall is to my back when I sit and sew. You know how they talk about designing kitchens with a work triangle between stove, refrig and sink? My work triangle is piecing machine, design wall and ironing board - all of which I can reach without getting up because my chair swivels!
