I got my first home sewing machine back in 2004 as a graduation gift after finishing from the trade school. It’s Brother ES-2400. And I’ve been using it ever since. It does a fine job sewing lighter materials and you just gotta love the automatic buttonholes. But when it comes to speed and power thats where this machine does not fulfill my needs. It takes two people to sew heavier coats - one to hold the machine down and the other to sew. The machine struggles to sew several layers of thicker fabrics and so on. There’s only so much a teeny tiny plastic machine can do right?
And
so I started my search for the new sewing machine. I have few
conditions for it - it has to have speed and strength to deal with
heavier fabrics, it has to have a good stitch and the machine has to
last for a long time. It would be perfect it it would come without any
extra bells and whistles.
I spent days googling for different companies and going through product lists on their websites.
Sadly,
most machines offered here, that might have the power and speed I need,
are fully computerised machines with A LOT of bells and whistles. A
LOT! And the prices! Seem a bit too much in my opinion.
