This is what my first pay check bought me, MONEY WELL SPENT!This is the best sewing machine I've had so far, it's perfect for beginner sewers and super easy to use.
The price was pretty incredible too!
£99, I got this bad boy for but with the raise in VAT the price has gone up to £120.
I bought my sewing machine at this shop http://www.franknutt.co.uk/
in Kings Heath. They sell so many amazing sewing machines and if you're lucky you might get a good student deal :p
Oh and since I've been recently addicted to freehand embroidery, I've been able to do some at home on my lovely new machine. It also has a few decorative and utility stitches such as overcasting for neatening edges of raw material, knit stitch which is great for when sewing swimwear and stretch straight stitch really good if you want seams that don't rip easily. And of course it came with the basic accessories such as:
-zipper foot
-hemmer foot
-sliding buttonhole foot
-satin stitch foot
-overcasting foot
-bobbins
-set of machine needles
-seam ripper
-screwdriver large and small
-hem guide
-machine oil
So if you're buying a new sewing machine it's good to ask if it comes with these standard accessories because you don't want to spend more money on basic sewing necessities after you've just bought a sewing machine. It's also a good idea to try the sewing machine before buying, shops have demo machines on display so you can try as many as you want before making up your mind.
sounds good im thinking of getting myself a new sewing machine as my old one is broken :/ xx
