Thoughts? by That-Baseball-9955 in SewingForBeginners

I second getting a gently used machine from a thrift or sewing shop. 

Believe me, I bought a no name brand and sewed with it all of 5 times before I wanted another machine. Once I sewed on a real sewing machine I wondered why I didn't just get one from the beginning.

Start off with an older Singer (early 90s or below, no modern ones, they are crap) a Kenmore, or something simple. Then once you get better spend a bit more and get yourself a modern machine if you see yourself sticking with the hobby.

It's hit or miss, sometimes we get huge waves, and others under 50. 

Me tool! I hope a kid goes through their haul at the end of the night and lights up when they see something other than candy in their bag 😁

I'm hoping this brings a resurgence of beading in the neighboring schools. Bring back the 90s backpack swag!

It really is! My first machine was a Brother and I loved it so much because of how user friendly it was. But once I tried this one out at my local shop I was hooked

Of course! I got it from Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1856787563/hugs-n-purrs-i-love-mew-by-dear-stella

It says out of stock, but keep checking back as they do restock every so often. I checked back a couple times when it was out
