If you’ve caught the stitching bug and want to start creating your own projects, the first thing you need to do is invest in a brand-new sewing machine. The best sewing machines can help you take on everything from simple repairs to more creative makes, and maybe even some new clothing. But when shopping for the perfect model, it’s hard to know where to begin.
There are hundreds of machines to choose from, many packed with a wide range of features, functions and accessories that can feel a bit overwhelming. That’s where I can help. With nearly 20 years’ experience as a sewing writer, editor and project designer, I’ve tested a huge number of machines. From trying out beginner-friendly options to getting to grips with the more advanced features on high-end models, I know what’s actually worth paying attention to and what makes a real difference when you’re sewing.
