HELP! Which sewing machine should I buy for making stretchy and summer clothes?
Its been ten years since I’ve done any sewing, and machines have come a long way since then… I have looked at reviews and many sites. I’ve also spoken with my mom who is a longtime seamstress. But she has not sewn much spandex and lightweight fabric. She says it tends to bunch up and is hard to work, even with zig zag. She has a surger, so I can borrow hers till I get my own.
There are computerized, electrical, and mechanical sewing machines. I thought a computerized one would be the easiest since it already has stitches and I guess adjusts itself to a point. However there are so many mixed reviews, I don’t know.
I wanted to stick with Singer or Brother. Or a company that is easy to deal with for repairs, parts, accessories, etc.
I will be sewing scrunchies, summer clothes/ lightweight and stretchy fabrics, and other lightweight projects.
However, it would be nice to have the option to sew heavier fabrics as well. budget of 4 or 500. Thanks!!!!
