Sewing Machine

ANSWER Thanks for the photo. You're a very pretty lady. It's nice being able to see who I'm writing to! You can use any sewing machine that's in good working order. If it sews straight, even stitches, that's all you'll need. Of course, if you plan to do appliqué, your machine should also include a zig zag or a blanket stitch. My personal favorite? I bought a sewing machine that's made especially for quilters. It contains all the decorative stitches and machine features a quilter could ever want. Quilters' sewing machines come in all price ranges. They start with basic models to the ones that feature all the bells and whistles. The following companies offer both standard and quilting machines: Husqvarna Viking Pfaff Janome Bernina Babylock To help you choose the very best machine for your needs, I highly recommend a book called "The Quilter's Review Guide to Picking a Sewing Machine You'll Love.  " It explains everything you need to know about buying a sewing machine. With this information in hand, you'll know exactly what to look for when you visit your sewing machine dealer.While you're at the store, try out every machine that interests you. Find one that fits your needs and your pocketbook. While you're there, ask about: Can they repair your machine locally, or will they have to send it out for service? How long does the warranty last? What does it cover? Do quilters frequently return this machine for repairs? If so, you might want to consider another model. Does the purchase of your machine include classes to teach you how to use it? Or, do you have to pay a fee? These are all important considerations. Have fun finding the perfect sewing machine!
