Most kids learn to sew on Mamma’s Singer….or Brother….or Viking sewing machine. I think my Mother had an old Kenmore that had seen much better years, but together, the two of us turned out a lot of garments, dishtowels and quilts before it finally gave up the ghost and ended up being replaced by a Viking that I inherited and have to this day.
Somewhere along the way, most young sewers decide they need a sewing machine of their own. Then comes the problem.
1. They need to buy a machine they can afford.
2. They need to buy a machine with a decent reputation for not having a lot of problems.
3. They need a machine that is fairly easy to operate, but which also has some extras that they will be using frequently.
Buying any appliance is risky, but in this day of the internet, we have a tool that can help us take some of the risk away. One of my favorite ways to check out an item is to type the name of the item in a Google search box followed by a comma and a term describing what I am looking for.
For example, Viking Sewing Machines, followed by the word reviews should give you even more than you wanted to know about Viking Sewing Machines. To get more specific information, include the model number of the machine. If you want to know where to buy a Viking sewing machine, enter something like Viking sewing machine, sources.
Take a peek at the book below if you are looking for a great way to introduce your young child or grandchild to machine sewing.
