Dear all,
My friend is asking me about buying a sewing machine (she is in AL). She wants to spend no more than $200, which is not a lot. My first sewing machine was a $179 simplicity machine from walmart, and I did just fine on it, but the balance was an eternal struggle. Other then that, just fine, including very forgiving of weird and/or thick threads.
Now, I'd rather advise her to go for a quality brand used machine, but is that doable at $200?
If you tell me that it is, I'll email a LQS (local to her) that I visited at Christmas and ask for reputable local dealer.
Thanks, Hanne in DK
