I think vintage is best as well. I bought a top of the line Singer back in 1975 and it's still going today. I did have the tension worked on once, but it's a great machine! If the power grid goes out, none of these would work, would they?

Thanks for sharing your skills about sewing machine 👍

okay, i realized this question is too generalized. I know it all depends on what you want to do on a sewing machine, and what level are you in sewing and WHAT TYPE of sewing machine you want. but the good thing is that you have so many choices. mechanical, Heavy Duty, or computerized.

I am looking for a traveling light weight machine that I can take to quilting classes. I have an embroidery Pfaff and I really don't want to take it out anymore plus it weighs quite a bit.

My grandmother and mother-in-law wouldn't believe all the wonderful features. My grandmother taught me to sew on her mother's treadle.

Hi

Please I want to be making all ready made

Great helpful video!

Is this content available in Australian states?

Why don't you guys have singer sewing machine? 🤔

I just need a machine that can sew leather, vinyl or denim with out struggling. Which one do you suggest?

Great video, thanks.
It would have been nice if you had mentioned the price of the machines, either written on the screen or mentioned verbally, just for easy reference.
I'm a garment sewer myself, I'm currently using a very basic entry level machine, and I'm seriously considering updating.
I'm not in the USA, but honestly, your shop looks fantastic! a dream to visit. I wish we have such great sewing machine shops in my country.
Thanks again for the video and best wishes for your shop and your lovely staff.

Where is this place???

Thank you so much for such an informative video.

Way..... too many choices!

What machine would be best for free motion quilting on felted wool

Thank you for the video I found it very helpful in seeing what the different price points will buy.

I am looking for the "Sister" brand, do they have it?

Where are the Vikings?

Seriously helpful—thank you so much!
I will say I still don’t know what machine to buy. Wish I lived in Spokane so I could just swing by to chat with you all! 😊

I want to make things out of duck canvas, and I also want to repair and alter my clothes … denim jeans, thick fleece hoodies, stretchy technical fabrics like schöller pants, as well as thick wool sweaters … I have a really nice wool sweater that fits great but sleeves are too long.. so I want to shorten them.

My instinct is that I need a mid-range heavy duty sewing machine (the Janome HD9BE looked perfect until I saw the $2500 price tag lol)… and a good serger/coverstitch combo machine.

I guess I’d spend that if it will make life easy and pay for itself quickly by allowing me to produce quickly. But if there’s a cheaper machine that will do just fine, I’d love to know your advice and I’d even buy from you if you’ll ship it to me.

Really helpful tutorial! Thank you!

Prices were missing and makes the offering less informative.

Awesome video Thanks so much!!!

I know you are trying to sell machines but you are recommending people starting out to spend thousands of dollars on a machine when at that point they should spend less than $500.

Lets not forget there are plenty of vintage machines out there that are really great price but more then that they have plenty of decorative stitches, metal body and heavy motor that will sew a bumper on a buick without hesitation. lol They have build in button hole, zig zag, embroidery capabilities and are easy to repair because they are mechanical, not computerize or electronic that fail a lot and cost a lot to repair, and a lot of sewing repairmen hate seeing those plastic machines come in. I have been a tailor for over 30yrs and I have always used vintage machines. The newest machine I have is a singer made in 1994 and the oldest is a White brand made in 1958. Even my serger is a 1986 and it sews like a dream. I have 11 vintage machines and they have made wedding gowns to men suits to cushion covers to quilts and never let me down. If your starting out sewing and not sure how its going to go, I would recommend a vintage machine. Its also a way to learn about a sewing machine and how they work on a more simple level then all the computerized and electronic stuff to get in your way. Then if u decide to stick with it then by all means get yourself a 2023 machine....or not.😉

Great information, thank you!!

I've been searching for the best sewing machine and lock to buy. Thanks for the guide information

Wish you would’ve had pfaffs

What happened to the top of the line Bernina????

Why don't you talk about the Pfaff machines? They are excellent machines.

Класс!!!

Where about are you near to Mablethorpe Lincolnshire?

Thanks for showing those fabulous machines. Modern sergers are great…my first and only serger was a singer..threading it was a pain! That was probably one of the first made! Over 20 years ago. 🇦🇺

It would have been a better experience for me when I purchased a new machine for my wife a couple years back to have had a store with the variety of brands that you have shown here.
In my experience shopping for a more advanced machine is a tricky process even after all the research, and test runs the machine we chose was an overall disappointment.
The best machines are the simpler the better since 99% of stitch work is straight stitch for the average sewer.

Thank you for all the links with aditional and detailed information. Loved the Janome CM 17

That was fun - thank you.

Great video I would love to hear you thoughts on travel sewing machines❤
