If someone asked you to name a brand of sewing machine, chances are you'd answer Singer. As there are a number of machines, finding the best sewing machine can be a tiresome task.
When choosing your first sewing machine, make sure you understand how much sewing you plan to do. Machines that were intended to be marketed as a child's machine were often painted in a different color or have floral motifs painted onto the body of the machine. These small machines doubled as children's sewing machines specifically for use by young girls, since they were expected to learn how to sew.
In either case, for most people, a pattern is, by far, the most important sewing accessory needed to get the job done right. The average person who is new to sewing and sewing machines, will need some practice and tons of patience! There is also a need for basic supplies such as needles, threads of different colors and strengths, fabric, and maybe a how to book to help them along. Classes are held once a week, for several weeks, where children are taught basic skills and complete a simple sewing project.
The joy I derived from sharing my handmade treasures was more than I could hope for. With the help of many books and a little trial and error, you can became a self-taught seamstress.
