I am flying to Asia from San Fransisco and will have lots of time to kill. I want to work on my hand-sewing. I know I can bring scissors now (with a blade less than 4″) but I cannot find they rules on sewing needles.

What is the best (reliable,long lasting,best overall quality) brand of sewing machine?

I hope to learn to quilt. I will be hemming pants, making clothes and crafts/gifts, decorations, etc.

I like computerized ANYTHING, so would probably want one with that as an option.

thank you.

I need thread for sewing and i called the dollar store to see if they had any “thread” because they are the closest place and they said that they have embroidery thread. Will that still work for sewing my clothes? I have no idea what the difference is.

10 points for best answer.
please and thank you

I love to sew and have been sewing for many years, mainly drapes, pillows, duvets. I need a sewing machine that will be heavy duty, straight stitch, blind hem stitch, et. I currently have a Singer Scholastic. A few years ago I bought a Juki - without really thinking it through - it was heavy duty but sewed 3000 stitches per min. I could not control it and gave up and sold it. Any suggestions from someone who sews these types of things would be helpful.

I have a good basic sewing machine(babylock) so what would be a good reasonable machine that could do embroidery and machine quilting or would I need to just have 2 seperate machines? I am still new to sewing/quilting and would like a machine that’s fairly easy to use and easy on price.Any suggestions would be great.

I am planning to make a major investment in a new sewing machine. I will be sewing a variety of things from garment construction to quilting. I can’t spend thousands of dollars but would like the best for my money. I’ve looked online but the reviews I’ve been able to find aren’t really satisfactory. Can anyone help? Your own experience with different machines will be much appreciated.

I am making a flannel baby blanket and am not sure what sewing thread I should use. I know of the polyester, but know nothing else about thread. Does anyone have any suggestions?
