Choosing the right sewing machine can be a challenge, as there is a wide range of models and features aorlable on the market. To help you find the perfect sewing machine, we have prepared a practical guide that will make this process easier.
1. Determine your needs
The first step is to understand what tasks you will use the sewing machine for:
- For beginners: Start with the basic model that offers easy-to-understand features. We recommend Bernette-Sew&Go 1 or Bernette-B33
- For experienced seamstressesChoose a model with additional features such as automatic buttonhole function, automatic thread threading, various stitch types, and embroidery options.We recommend Bernette-Sew&Go 8 vai Bernette-B38
- For specific projectsIf you plan to sew specific materials or perform certain tasks (such as quilting or embroidery), choose a sewing machine that is suitable for these purposes.
2. Explore the functions
It is important to understand what functions are available in different sewing machine models and which ones you will specifically need:
- Types of stitchesCheck how many and what types of stitches are available (working stitches, zig-zag stitches, decorative stitches, etc.).
- Automatic thread threadingThis feature significantly eases the work, especially for those with weaker vision.
- Speed controlThe ability to adjust the sewing speed is essential, especially if you are a beginner or sewing complex fabric.
3. Consider the size and weight of the sewing machine
Depending on where and how you plan to use the sewing machine, choose the appropriate size and weight:
- Light and compact sewing machines are ideal if you need to move them regularly. For example, you can store them in a closet on a daily basis, but when you start sewing, you can easily take them to the living room. Also, the lighter sewing machines will be convenient for going on vacation and attending workshops.
- If you plan to sew in one place, you can choose a heavier model that will be more stable and have a larger work surface (in addition to tables).
4. Read reviews and compare prices
Before making a purchase, read reviews from other users and compare the prices of different models:
- ReviewsRead other seamstresses' experiences with the specific model.
- Comparison sitesUse online resources to compare features.
