Hello ladies,
I am new to the world of sewing, not having done much since high school, and then only some hemming of scarves.
I am currently taking sewing classes, and really enjoying them; hubby surprised me with a Pfaff 4752 overlocker, and is trying to convince me to upgrade my simple Janome M2008 (which is very limited in capabilities) to the one the lady at the store reccomended, a Husqvarna Emerald 183.
Given the costs involved, is this a feasible choice? Are these machines going to last and last? How do I use an overlocker?????
I love the idea of sewing my own clothes, clothes for my toddlers, and eventually, maybe graduating on to quilts, and like for the children and grandchildren. But at the moment, I cannot even put together a dress!
what brands are reputed and reliable? which ones are associated with expensive upkeep/ maintenance? are the computerised sewing machines worth the extra money? will they last?
are the brands I have been quoted reliable, and trustworthy?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Imaan
