Hi all,
I'm pretty new to sewing (and this list) and need some good advice. I plan on sewing mostly leotards and dance-type wear. Most of the fabrics I anticipate using are almost all *stretch* fabrics such as lycras, stretch velvets, and some chiffon type fabric as well.
Before I put a lot of money into a sewing machine I need to know what type of machine would be best for these specific stretch types of fabrics. I was also wondering if a serger might be more appropriate than a regular sewing machine. However, I don't really know the difference between a serger and a sewing machine. I'd like to stay in the price range of $250 -$800 if possible unless there is a great machine that is really worth paying more.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks! Dee :)
