Robert asks… What is the best sewing+embroidery machine?I need a sewing machine that does embroidery, not just decorative stitches. It also has to do simple sewing. I have price range of $500-$700. Any ideas? Have you ever had a good machine like that?
Moderator answers:For the price range I would go with a nicer used machine that has been serviced by a good store. I have a Brother Pacesetter PC-8500. I bought it “previously loved” from one of the best sewing machine stores in my town. I could never afford the machine that they sell new, but they have the used machines that they have checked out really well and done service on. I love my machine. I can do everything from sew diapers to monogram towels. It has not failed me yet. It seems that any machine made by Babylock, Brother, or Bernina hold up well. (There is one exception of an inexpensive Brother machine that advertises as an embroidery machine, but only does Disney characters.) I would ask a person that works at your local fabric store where the best used machines are sold.
Helen asks… What is a good sewing machine for free machine embroidery as well as stitched work for textile design?I need to buy a sewing machine for art based work but it needs all the usual functions too, I’m quite experienced on the machine but there is so much choice out there I’m getting a little confused what is the best and value for money Please hep! Thanks
Moderator answers:Bernina and then Babylock.
Paul asks… Does anyone own a Brother Embroidery machine? What is your opinion of the machine?I am thinking of buying an embroidery machine. Would like others opinion on the Brohter brand before I buy one. Not sure which model yet so please let me know the model you are talking about. I will mainley be using it for children’s clothing, heirloom stitching & pillows.
Moderator answers:I have a Brother 2500D and it works great. I must say that I use it mainly for embroidery but it sews so well too. I wish I could do both at the same time! I highly suggest that you get a 5 x 7 field. The 10 x 6 is also nice but not as essential as 5.x7. I would say 90% of what I do is 5 x 7 or less. The other thing I might consider if I had to do it again would be buying an embroidery only machine because I feel that so much of the extra sewing options are never used because I am always embroidering. I would probably buy a seperate sewing machine. The other thing to keep in mind is if you like Disney Characters you must buy a machine with a D as the last character. Brother machines are the only machines that can legally embroider Disney characters. Good luck in your decision. Keep in mind if you have not embroidered before there is a long learning curve because you must learn what kind of stabilizers to use, how to hoop items etc. Sewforum.com is a good place to go to get your questions answered and Emblibrary.com has a lot of good tutorials.
