I am taking classes on how to make quilts and comforters. I also want to make clothes, and drapes. What kind of sewing machine would you recommend? My instructor has industrial machines that I can not afford. I want one no more than $200.

I would like to buy a sewing machine for simple clothing construction - mostly skirts and dresses - and don’t want to spend more than $100-$150. Can you recommend a basic model that is of good quality? I don’t need fancy stitching, computerized embroidery, or any of that stuff.

I just learned how to use a sewing machine yesterday. I want to start making simple/easy to make apparel and gradually start to make things that are more difficult to make. What do you recommend I (as a beginner) should make?

I live in an urban area. The nearest fabric and craft stores are 64 to 154 miles away. I would like to start a sewing & craft store out of my garage in hopes of expansion into a small community 20 miles from me. But I want to start at home to see if this will prosper.

I would also like to know what embroidery software I can use for different sewing machines as well.
Well, I do not want to spend over $1000.00. My husband might have a heart attack if he knew that I said that, but I really want a good one that will sew and embroider.

We’ve 500 powered sewing machines in our factory. Like all the machines running by motor these, sewing machines are also working. My idea is to use motor’s rotation to generate electricity, like wind mill and turbines work. Conversion of elxtrical energy to electricity. Can someone help me how to execute this in most economical way…

I’ve never had a sewing machine before- I’d like to find one that can sew just about any fabric and do embroidery. Is there a reasonably priced machine that a beginner could purchase that has the mentioned functions?
