HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SEWING MACHINE
These are the main features that you should keep in mind, and things you should think about, to choose the perfect sewing machine for you:
1. What will you use it for?
Before launching to choose a sewing machine, the first thing you have to do is think coldly what purpose it will have, and what you are going to use it for and how often.
If you are a person who is passionate about sewing it is obvious that you will need a machine that offers you certain possibilities to learn and evolve with it.
But if instead, you only use it to sew labels on your children's backpacks, or make them a carnival costume, obviously, with a basic machine - and consequently much cheaper - it will be enough.
If you are unable to assess the use that you will finally give your sewing machine, I would advise you to buy a machine with medium benefits, that way you will have the benefits of a basic machine and at the same time it will allow you to evolve more if the bug is finally bitten of sewing
2. The technical characteristics
This point is one of the most difficult, but it is important that within limits, you delve into the technical characteristics of the different machines you are shuffling.
These are some of the technical characteristics that you should look at :
Materials
The less plastic the better, the machines that have their housing and structure with a lot of plastic have less durability and resistance.
If it weighs a little better than better.
It is important that the internal, and mobile, mechanisms of the sewing machine: needle arm and bobbin, especially, be made of metal so that they do not split if they undergo excessive strain at any time.
Type of presser foot
If you choose a sewing machine with a universal presser foot you will avoid having to use the screwdriver to change them.
Mechanics
From my point of view, digital machines are fine, but it is true that these types of machines with more electronic composition may have more failures in the future.
It is not safe, but the possibilities increase.
So if you want to be sure, opt for a mechanical machine for roulette selection, they are also much cheaper.
Ideal if you are going to enter the world of sewing for the first time.
Horizontal bobbin
The sewing machines with horizontal bobbins are more comfortable and give fewer problems than the vertical ones during the stitching.
Language of the instruction manual
As far as possible the instructions are better in your language, especially if it is your first sewing machine.
The instructions can help you get to know your sewing machine better and to make it better than it is in your language.
3. The price
Once you have chosen the sewing machine that best suits you, do not forget to compare prices.
Possibly you will get very pleasant surprises, you will save some money, and that money you can invest in other things, to increase your credit of thread bobbins or accessories for your sewing arsenal, for example.
4. The brand is important
The brand is important, why? because if you invest in a sewing machine and you are going to spend your money, you will want that if you have any problem there is someone behind who can solve it.
You will want to be able to find spare parts and other facilities that can only give you a technical service with popularity and experience.
It is not decisive, but it is something to consider.
5. Compare, compare and compare again
It is best to ask everything you can and move around several specialized stores, as well as talk to acquaintances or friends who have sewing machines to inform you of all the possibilities and differences between some options and others.
The more opinions you have the better.
