Sewing Machine Guide

Whether you’re looking to find the best sewing machines for beginners or the perfect way to upgrade, we are here to help! Discover guidance on how to shop for sewing machines by experience level, fabric, machine type and more so that you know exactly what features and accessories to look out for.

Experience Level

Beginner

Beginners should opt for a simple machine with the basic range of stitches and a selection of foot attachments to cover the essentials, e.g. a zipper foot and a buttonhole foot.

Intermediate

At a more experienced level, you will benefit from an expanded variety of stitch options and extra needle power, stitch length and automatic buttonholes.

Advanced

Advanced sewers may wish to invest in a computerised machine that can offer precise controls, an LCD display screen, pre-programmed designs and much more.
