What Sewing Machine Should I Buy?
There are so many different kinds of sewing machines out there and if you're just getting started it can be difficult to narrow them down. While running my sewing school I have worked with hundreds of different machines and am here to help you figure out what YOU need to look for to find YOUR perfect machine (and hint, it may not be the same as my perfect machine!).

    Fantastic videos. Thank you for your service. My reason to sew... PREPPER-ation. We all lived through C19, and many lived before, through crazy times like that. If the grid goes down, you have water, grow your own food, can do basic hunting/fishing, and can fix things around your home but cannot sew, then a critical part of self-reliance is missing. Sewing is my current lack. Thanks for helping to fix that.

    There are extremely good starter machines that are not Singers and work very well plus knowing thst if there is a problem, there is a competent person who can help with repairs! Singers bought crimson places ,Ike Joann’s, Walmart, etc. are a big problem - a vintage Singer is a much better buy and there are people who can make repairs because the inner workings are metal and not plastic! I’m not being mean, just letting people know that for about the same amount of a new Singer, a quality beginner machine can be purchased from a reliable shop!

      I bought a Singer machine last September and it broke while I was sewing 2 layers of jersey (!) in May. I wasn't able so reach anyone at the Singer hotline and so I used a repair service by a big local electronic store. I wanted to be save in this matter. Almost nine weeks have passend and Singer hasn't done anything. They don't even respond to the messages from the store... The store has sent it to the official Singer workshop. The service is so bad and the quality is nothing that I would ever buy again. No matter how great the offer may look like. I've switched to Brother. I think, I'll never get the Singer back. I hope it can be solved without a lawyer...

    I learned to sew on a Swedish machine in high school. Then at home we had a Singer. I never enjoyed sewing on North American machines. A few years ago I bought a vintage Bernina second hand. Amazing. I’ve since bought a newer Bernina second hand so I could have fancy stitches. Sewing machines a can be very expensive, however, there are many used machines available . Most are in excellent working condition. Lots of UA-cam videos to learn how to use them.

    Singer Sewing Mach. Love the channel and appreciate your advice. I have more hours in researching the $30. flea market "simple mechanical" Singer I purchased than I have sewing projects. Unfortunately, after a few projects , a few bent needles & a motion wheel that won't turn and do it's job pulling the fabric , I've decided to purchase a brand new, "complex mechanical" Singer. But , ................ There are so dang many to choose from ??? Ugh !! 4411, 4423, 4432, (grey, green 👌or black), 4452 (w/ or w/out bundles) 6360, etc ........ ?? I've sewn patches, sand bag rests for guns, velcro - (hook&loop), two 4 lb wool blankets together, elastic or stretchy fabric, etc ..... I need something (?) ..... i'll try to sew it !! Could be thick, thin, hard, soft, make a button hole or 2, ....... I can't think of & don't know what my next repair or solution to a problem may be. My research 1st lead me to think, "get the middle model (4452)" I could just make the $199. price tag. But then, I though, It may be nice to have a kit ......... hey, a table might help ? And, of course, extras (parts & pieces) for my predictable mistakes, loss of parts (memory ... where did I leave that ?) , BREAKAGE ?? OH NO !! 🤭 Being a flat wood carpenter & wood turner for 33yrs & purchasing automotive tools & such, I've come to understand that , along w/the purchase of a machine, there are always blades, belts, bits & such you either find you must have to do specific projects or need to replace along the way. I need advice. Epiphany advice ... Epiphrical (?) advice. Confident , Clear , Knowledgeable advice from someone who would know about the things I can't fathom yet w/my limited imagination. a) why a $209. 4423 over the $199. 4452 ? b) what does a 4432 ($299) do that the cheaper models don't ? c) get the bundle or not ? (table ? presser foot kit ?? both ???) Laura, ........ CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I NEED ?? Or , at lease answer these few (?'s) I've thought to ask ?? Thank you for your generous consideration, Sincerely .................... God bless.

    • @hartfordstitch6571
      @hartfordstitch6571 8 місяців тому

      I can try to help! As far as I know, the 23/32/52 all just have a different number of stitches, but otherwise don’t have any noticeable differences. I don’t expect you’d use a lot of those extra stitches, but if the price is less it won’t hurt to have them. A bundle isn’t worth it. I don’t know many people that use the extra table. The machines come with basic presser feet and then you can add individual ones if you find that you have a need. For quilting I purchased a walking foot and free motion foot. Those are my only extra “go-to” feet. Hope that helps!

    • @stephboeker7835
      @stephboeker7835 8 місяців тому

      @@hartfordstitch6571.... Thank you very much for your timely reply. I'm very happy to hears the basic differences are only in the # of different stitches. I also , on second thought, confirmed by you hear, chose to reject the inclination to purchase the table. I watched video's that explained the different feet and how they are used. Very informative. But I found, I could prolly do everything I'd ever want w/ the included package. Singer really seems to know what's desired and put really complete packages together. I watched another video on breaking down and determining whether or not the 4452 was actually "heavy duty". That guy had a long career repairing several, many, plenty machines. He basically tested every part, speed, endurance, you name it. He was sold and recommended them. I always wonder if they are in bed w/the company they review, but he said straight out that he wasn't & he bought the machine w/his own money. I think I'll purchase the 52 and maybe even play w/the different extra stitches. :) Thanks again, Sincerely .................... God bless.

    I had a sewing machine from the 1960s that was great but I gave it away, so sorry I did. I steered away from Singer because they had plastic parts that did not hold up. I have noticed that the feed dogs are metal but the feet are plastic and that causes problems. I have a Janome because it is not plastic but has plastic feet, which is a drawback. If I had the space, I would buy an old sewing machine with metal parts, especially the metal feet.

    • @hartfordstitch6571
      @hartfordstitch6571 Рік тому

      That’s called a serger. It sews, trims and binds the edge of the fabric all at one time. If you look at the inside of your shirt at the side seam you’ll likely see that the seam is wrapped with threads. That’s the work of a serger. It doesn’t replace a sewing machine entirely but it’s great if you get into sewing clothes, especially if you use knit/stretchy fabric!

    You are so good on camera you should continue these videos. I wish I had you to teach me - I gave up and now my granddaughter wants to learn but she’s really young

    Why have you not posted a new video in a year?

      Videos take a long time to film and edit. With family obligations and our teaching studio at full capacity again I just don't have time unfortunately!

    I learned on a singer and sewed for 5 years on the Singer HD 4452. I just traded it in and got a Janome 4120 QDC. But if i had to do it again, I would have gotten the Quantum Stylist, which has alm the same features of the Janome for less $$. Great video.
