A. I'm hooked on Brother sewing machines. They start at around $100 and go up from there. I've owned several brands over the years, and found that Brothers are very reliable and the easiest to learn. My advice is to start with something simple, like a pillow case, tablecloth, or apron. Get to know your machine and how to cut fabric and sew a nice straight line. Once you're confident with that, look for patterns marked "easy". Simplicity makes a line called "It's so easy" for adult and kids clothing, and accssories like tote bags and purses, that are great for beginners. Here's a couple of good sites with tips for beginning sewers; You can learn a LOT from those two sites.

Q. I am going to start sewing but most of it will be simple straight stitching. No embrodiery or anything. I don't need a machine that does 2,002 stitches. Which machine would be for me?

A. Look at the seams on the shirt you are wearing right now... where the sleeves join to the body. Do you see how the threads are not only holding the sleeve there but they also wrap around the the entire seam? That is an over lock or serger. On a flat machine if you want something like that -- and that makes the seam stronger and more comfortable - then you actually have to sew the seam twice doubling the amount of time it takes to finish a garment. From that you say you will be mostly working with a regular machine would be fine but the decorative stitches might add an extra touch to your quilts so you just might want to consider those 2,002 stitches.

A. It depends on how much you want to spend, and whether or not she already sews. If she doesn't have a sewing machine and doesn't already sew I would get her a simple machine. I just got a Brother for Christmas that was only $150. I didn't really know how to sew and wanted something simple to start. Wal-Mart has them ranging from about $90-$250, all pretty basic sewing machines. If she already has a basic sewing machine and you are looking to get her an upgrade, I would go to the local sewing shop. Take a picture of the sewing machine she already has with you.

A. I am assuming you want to purchase just one machine; or at least only one at this time. Your best bet is probably to start with a good zig-zag sewing machine. They will handle much more versatile projects than a serger. While there are electronic models that sell for several thousand dollars, you can get a good machine for under $900. How much you spend will depend on your projected usage and experience sewing . I basically sew on my sewing machine and finish seams on my serger...

A. You have a model 66 released on July 10,1919. There were 50,000 released that year alone. Made at the Elizabethport factory in Elizabeth, New Jersey. I have a couple, and even though they are probably the most common old machines around they are very good and strong. In nice condition its worth less than a hundred dollars. Nice in a nice cabinet maybe a couple hundred. If its not so nice condition it may still be worth 50.00 if it works good. Kind of cool aren't they. Have fun with it and learn how to work it. Good luck.

A. I believe you answered your own question. What good is a machine that will only sew together to layers of thin cotton? Take the money you were going spend on this machine and visit sewing shops to see what they can do for you. Tell them you have a limited budget or they will start by showing you the Rolls! Tell them what kind of sewing you want to do. A good sewing machine should be able to sew fabrics ranging from nylon to canvas. You want a machine that has a buttonhole feature and sews a nice even straight stitch. Ask to test what they offer. A used machine may be a good machine to start with.
