How to judge the quality and/or versatility of a home sewing machine?
The sewing machine presently in use has problems with the tension knobs. It is more than fifteen years old. Have the features on newer machines changed drastically and is it practical to invest in a newer moderate priced machine — 0 range – versus having this older one repaired. The sewing machine will be used for quilting and home sewing projects. I’m not into fancy embroidering stitches but zig-zag is useful. Can anyone recommend the merits of different brands.
