In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
It can be a little tricky to find the right beginner sewing machine because some of them are so advanced, they can be totally overwhelming. If you need help finding the best machine to learn on, you’re in the right place. We researched a variety of top-rated machines to figure out which ones are the best of the best. Before we get to our top picks, let’s take a look at some features you should look for.
Built-In Stitches: Built-in stitches are a really cool thing to have because they add a lot of variety and look pretty sophisticated. That said, they’re not necessary if you’re just learning. We found some great options with and without.
Automatic Needle Threading: Most of these machines have automatic needle threading, some don’t. While it saves you a lot of time and aggravation, needle threading is a good skill to learn when you’re just starting out. We included both in our list.
Pieces: This number includes the machine itself, power supply, and any accessories that come with it. Some of these machines include a lot of addition feet and bobbins while others also add things for maintenance, like oil and screwdrivers.
Buttonhole: If you’re going to learn how to make clothes, it’s pretty important that you get a machine that has a buttonhole feature. That said, if you’d rather focus on the very basics, there are some machines that only have minimal features.
Size: Keep the size of the machine in mind so you know about how much space you’re going to need when it comes time to use it. Looking for something portable? Don’t worry, we included a few of those as well!
Warranty: There are a few items on our list with short warranties, but most are covered for 10 or 25 years. We even found one with a limited lifetime warranty! That tells you that these machines are for the most part extremely reliable.
Now that you know a little more about what to look for, let’s move onto the next section of our guide, our top ten list. Here’s the deal, we put our top and budget pick first so they’re easy to find. Be sure to take a look if you’re in a hurry, that’s the best way to get an idea of the range that’s out there. That said, these products are all so different, you should check them all out. Ready? Let’s go!
