Buying a new Quilt/Sewing Machine? Questions to ask yourself -before shopping!

1. Where will i put it?
A permanent place, or table that you will be lifting it on an off of often?

2. What kind of quilting/sewing do i do now?

3. What kind of quilting/sewing do i want to try?
A basic straight stitch with reverse and zigzag. That will allow home decorating , clothing, quilt piecing, and paper crafting. Built in decorative stitches and or embroidery modules cost more, and will you use them?

4. How computerized a machine do I need?
Remember the more complicated the machine the more it costs and the more expensive it is to have repaired! What kind of a relationship do you have with your computer/printer? My printer and I barely speak!

5. What accessories are included or available for purchase if needed?
Free motion feet, 1/4″ feet, stitch regulators, etc.

6. Long arm machine?
Where will you set it up and how much use will it get there?

7. How much can I afford?
Brainstorm, think of any more questions? Answer all of the questions truthfully then go an buy your machine, not someone elses idea of your machine. Remember too that some sewers have more than one machine!
