Hi everybody,
I'm about to start doing more sewing, and am in need of a new machine (I'm still using my mothers first Singer she bought in the early 1960s!).
I used to sew and design costumes and clothing in college (28 years ago - gack!), but have only done an occasional project since then, which is why I could get by with the Singer.
My plans are to sew mostly simple garments from natural fabrics, cotton weave, cotton knits, silks, etc. I also want to roll hem silk -- I am a silk painter, and would love to make my own scarves. I don't need to quilt or do fancy embroidery, but I'd love something that is simple to use and produces elegant results (I have hand problems, so easy is important).
I'm willing to spend up to $400 or so. Less would be better, but I don't want to skimp and be sorry later.
What do you wise and helpful people suggest?
Thanks you!
Elizabeth
