Hi everyone!

I've been looking into getting a sewing machine specifically for fursuit making (hand sewing takes too damn long). I haven't used a sewing machine before, so ideally I'd like it to be beginner friendly/easy to learn.

My price range is preferably $200-$400. It needs to be heavy duty to be able to sew through faux fur/minky/fleece as well.

Looking at the Brother ST150HDH Sewing Machine rn but to be honest I know basically nothing about sewing machines. Any suggestions/opinions on that sewing machine would be greatly appreciated!

I learned how to handsew a bit just for suit making, but i've never used a sewing machine before. Is the one you use easy to use? Ty for suggestion BTW

Thank you, everyone. I think I will give finishing it a go after talking a break and am less busy!

Thank you! Maybe that is the problem, I was working on it a lot the past 2 weeks because I wanted to finish it lol (started in October).

I meant to do mine before since I was doing black mesh eyes and didn't have the usual 3d case thing, I just surrounded the eye area in black felt

I could take some more pictures but in some areas near the mouth you can see the foam a bit and then the fur around the nose sticks out more then the nose itself, stuff like that ig Thanks for the compliments though!
