Guide for Beginners to Buy the Best Sewing Machine

 

You are looking for the best beginner sewing machine but you are wondering where and how to start. There are hundreds of sewing machines in today's market that may make any beginner mind-boggling.

Therefore, the only thing you should do is to stick with this article because I will show you the way to choose the best basic sewing machine for beginners within your budget.

 

Built-in Stitches or Make Your Own Stitches?

A regular sewing machine often comes with a straight stitch, buttonhole or zigzag stitch that is mostly used. Besides, a machine with built-in stitches means that you will do nothing to program it.

 

The computerized model allows you to combine some of the built-in stitches together

 

Additionally, you should estimate the width and length of stitches. Most basic models are approximately 6 mm wide x 4 mm long. So, it is better to choose a model coming with stitch adjustments because you will be able to sew different effects.

While the mechanical model uses dials with preset adjustments, the computerized uses buttons or touchscreen that enables you to get more control over the machine.

Moreover, the computerized model allows you to combine some of the built-in stitches together that are sometimes known as chaining stitches. This function is helpful to make decorations or monograms.

 

User-friendly

User-friendly features (needle threader, bobbin system, and bobbin placement, etc.) are the most important things of a beginner sewing machine.

Some sewing machines have a foot pedal for you to control the sewing speed whether that pedal is responsive or not. Anyway, if your machine has a responsive pedal, it allows you to sew at a slower pace.

On the other hand, someone thinks that the foot pedal is redundant as they completely control the machine without it. Therefore, you should feel whether you need the pedal.

If you usually work with knit or stretchy fabric, you should buy a coverstitch sewing machine which is designed to work with this type of fabric. Read about the best coverstitch sewing machine if you are interested in buying a good one.

 

Straight Stitch

Most of your sewing stitches are straight. This skill is not a challenge for beginners as long as they have the best machine.

You can assess your straight stitch by answering these questions: how straight is it? Does it look nice? How is the appearance of the under seam? So, if you think your stitch seems sloppy, you fail!

 

Easy to Install

 

A good sewing machine for beginners should be instinctive that is easy to start

 

After buying a sewing machine, you will be excited and want to unbox and use it as soon as possible. So, I'm sure that you do not want to install your machine in hours.

A good sewing machine for beginners should be instinctive that is easy to start.

You need to answer the following questions: How simple a thread is? How simple does the foot pedal change? How simple a tension adjustment is? How simple do the needles change?

In fact, many brands provide a DVD for the quick start instructions in the box. Some other manufacturers share the user's guide on YouTube. It's really fascinating!

If you don't like to see the owner's guide, you can find out a lot of basic sewing machine reviews from bloggers or clients on the Internet. However, you should still spend some time to read the owner’s manual because they give you many useful tooltips.
