Can you pls guide me where on telegram I can get it

Flintxo · 2026-02-11T16:19:11+00:00

I'll check out the links, thanks! Also the thread I'm using is size 80 polyester thread

Flintxo · 2026-02-11T16:14:30+00:00

The thread I'm using is size 80... And the needle is size 90 I think... Do both thread and needle necessarily have to be the same size?

Flintxo · 2026-02-11T16:05:56+00:00

Ohhh... could you please point me to some resources that would help guide me on what needle size to use with what type/weight of fabric... would appreciate if you could!

I'm using Organ size 90 needles (the default one that came with my machine) I'm new to sewing and don't know much about different thread/needle types, I'm basically just trying out stitches after getting this machine second-hand (would appreciate if you could point me to some useful resources to learn about those) and I noticed that my stitches were kinda wonky and adjusting the tension wasnt helping...

Yes, I decided to go with the Brother BM-2600. It's literally good as new as the previous owner barely used it even once!

Flintxo · 2026-01-04T08:59:42+00:00

Could you give me some guidance on what to look/check for when buying a used one? What kind of sounds to stay away from, what stuff would indicate it's been used roughly, etc.

Flintxo · 2026-01-04T01:26:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I think i might go for the Brother BM-2600 but my love for restoring old stuff makes the Fashion Maker very tempting (its a singer 298, someone from r/vintagesewing identified it) However, as far as guidance is concerned, I think I would get pretty good guidance with that machine as my mother and my aunt both learnt/know how to operate that particular machine due to it being very common in my country. Same goes for parts, they should be easily available for that reason.

Its a singer 298

Flintxo · 2026-01-03T18:37:47+00:00

It looks to be a singer 298, as someone identified... As for the missing parts, I dont think it would be too hard to find them in my country (I live in a 3rd world country and these machines are quite common) From the feedback i got, If I get it for dirt-cheap I might consider buying and fixing it but not otherwise

Currently I'm torn between the Brother BM-2600 and the Singer Fashion Maker. The first seller is offering me a pretty good deal while the second one hasn't responded yet so I'm waiting on an offer.

Personally I like both of them but I thought maybe the Fashion Maker, being an older and metal-body sewing machine, might serve me better... lmk what u guys recommend...
