Will anyone please help me choose the right sewing machine?
Hello hello 
Since I was in high school, I made my own clothings (from a t-shirts, jeans, bags, to dresses) using a really simple handheld sewing machine with no special options. It's really hard especially because it takes forever! 
I'm planning on getting a sewing machine - which I have NO KNOWLEDGE of.
I heard SINGER or BROTHER are good... but there were so many options from quickstitch to 100-stitch, manual to automatic, electronic to computerized..etc. not to mention these patterns of zigzag, straight, shaped..etc.
My head hurts so much.
The cheapest one I found though, however, was the SewPro QuikStitch Sewing Machine (SP-402). Is this good enough?
I'd like a simple and affordable sewing machine that I could quickly learn (to do almost all the basic-moderate sewing... making clothes and accessories!)
Please help meee!! Thank you
Huh??? What's these stitches and reverse gear??? I'm so confused!
I'm a sewing machine technician and can and will tell you NOT to buy a cheap plastic Wal-Mart machine. Singers are no longer a good machine. Plastic inside and out. The plastic machines sold for cheap are called throw aways for a reason. Sew until it breaks (which it will) then throw it away. Its cheaper to buy a new one than have it repaired. I agree with the person above that said to get a good used one. Preferrably one before 1980 actually. All metal inside and out with just the basic stitches you need. The best are Bernina, Pfaff, Elna, Viking, older Singers and Brother. Even a Sears Kenmore is ok if its older.
You can look in yard sales, thrift stores, ask dealers that sell used machines, look on Craigslist.com, E-bay, etc. but always plan on spending maybe 70.00 more to have a technician clean, oil, and adjust it. Look in your Yellow pages for a tech near you. If you find one in a thrift store or sale just make sure the needle goes up and down and the motor works first. Then take it to a tech.
The older machines with basic stitches will treat you much better until your good at it, then move up. Plus they will last a heck of a lot longer.
Good luck to you.
