Products


What is the best sewing machine?
It depends! The best sewing machine for you depends on what you want to achieve with your sewing. The needs of someone sewing fine garments are different than those of someone sewing a heavy duty bag. There are a wide range of sewing machines and they perform diverse functions depending on their use. The simplest way to determine the best sewing machine for you is to visit the store, share a list of potential projects and a few must-have features, and test machines until you find the one!
