Sewing Machine 

If you don't have a sewing machine I suggest you start here with the Sewing Machine Buyers Guide and the included workbook. Entry-level sewing machines are not just for beginners. Mid and high-end sewing machines have additional computer features or features specific to your fabric craft such as high-speed for drapes or bigger “throat” area for quilting.

• Favorite machine for the cost:  EverSewn Sparrow 20 
• Personal favorite: Pfaff 7550  (no longer made, but lots available second hand)
