Best Sewing Machine for Beginners | Sewing 101 EP 02

Finding the best sewing machine for making clothes isn't easy. Because the best sewing machine for home use is dependent on you. I've received sewing machine advice from hundreds of people around the world with different experiences and have narrowed it down to three models.

Should I get a Brother sewing machine? Should I get a Juki? What about the Singer Heavy Duty? These are all common questions that I answer in this video.

The goal from this video is to help you find the best sewing machine for beginners. Whether you want a sewing machine to quilt, upholster, or tailor, this video will cover all of that.

I also have a section on how to start your sewing machine (aka how to thread your sewing machine). It's a bit quick, but the focus of this video is which brand and model to buy today. Later I'll have an in-depth video on how to use your sewing machine as a part of a longer series of sewing tips for beginners and everything you need to know about sewing.

For me it's reassuring that people who started sewing with that Singer usually are still using it once they are experienced. To me that's the best endorsement that can be made. I'm okay paying a little more now if it's dependable enough that I can grow with it for years and still like it once I know what I'm doing.

It does not feel right watching something of this quality for free, amazing stuff as always

In Germany, Singer has grown veeeery unpopular since they transferred their production to China. Granted, their supermarket/ discounter models are now cheap money as well as quality wise. But as soon as you start spending a little more money, you also get your money's worth. I upgraded from a discounter Singer to a Heavy Duty Denim last year and I really love it. With my latest project, I'm making it stitch through 20 layers of fabric at a time. This machine is going strong.

As someone who really wants to start sewing but has been overwhelmed with info, this has been the most helpful video! Thanks!

I have been sewing for 60 years and I've used and owned many machines each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The last time I brought a machine in for servicing, the shop had an unbelievable number of Singer 4423 machines needing major repairs; by far the number one machine brought in for repair. That seems to be because the term 'Heavy Duty' leads to the false assumption the machine can speed sew through many layers of heavy weight fabric with no regard to needle size, stitch length etc. Not many machines can withstand that kind of abuse and still stitch beautifully. I think you did a good job of demonstrating a slow steady pace and care when using each machine.

Holy crap man the amount of hours of editing and filming this video took. The effort was insane on this one! Big proud so much good info and input thank you brotha

[alyssiachelsea]

Subscribing simply because you had the mind to know that it’s a BEGINNER watching this video, therefore you proceeded to explain how a sewing machine works, which was so helpful as this is my first ever sewing machine video. 👏🏽

My very own machine in 1964 was a Kenmore. It is metal easy to thread and easy to sew with and came with many sewing attachments. i HAVE MOVED OVER THE YEARS AND IT HAS GONE WITH ME. Yep I still am using the same machine. I clean it and oil it 2 times a year. I have made school clothes for 3 kids and many gifts on it I now have 2 Singer 1920s machines, but still keep on going with the Kenmore.

[Daymickey]

This feels as high quality as a masterclass. You went all out.

I use a portable Electric Singer from 1938. My grandfather purchased it shortly after my mom was born. All the parts are original and it still runs like a champ.

Before I start watching I just want to say thank you for being a real human being. I've seen written reviews that are just copies of copies of copies, and there's no way to know whether those have even been AI generated or not. It's relieving to see that there's a real person behind this.

[pipermoonshine]

Singer has come along way. They were good to start out with back in the olden days, then they went to cheap in the 70's and now they are going strong with many of their machines. They have come along way.

Singers are literal work horses. Both their knitting flatbeds and sewing machines just work and don't break down. We have had one since I was little (mother bought it in the early 1990s) it STILL works today (just needs some oil)

[vidocha]

Never would thought I would have found one of the most well paced review videos on YT, be about sewing machines. Incredible work on this piece of production.

[michellemckinney]

You are a wonderful teacher. This was a master class. Thank you for the video.

[fajmahal]

Hey man, love your videos and content, thankyou so much ! Ive just bought the singer HD 4423 and im completely new to sewing. I found its starting speed to be way too fast for me to do accurate stitching. I had a look on reddit and found out theres a TINY hole in the bottom of the foot pedal to adjust the starting speed of the machine. Counter intuitively, turning it towards the + makes the starting speed slower on my machine. Just wanted to see if you could make people aware of this, as i would be struggling massively without it. Thankyou so much, your videos have been part of whats inspired me to begin sewing!

[DjAlexGaytan.]

I'm 45yo and suddenly I feel the need of starting sewing and be creative, I always kinda wanted but this days been seriously thinking about, there's a lot happening in my life and this could be my moment, I want this heavy duty singer and your excellent video just confirm it, I have to say the quality and effort in your video equals lots of thinking, working, acting and making real...THANK YOU SO MUCH. New subscriber.

just in the 10 first minutes i learned more about sweing machines than i did in school

[miriam-jeannette-castaneda]

Not all sewists sew the same thing! You understand that. I most appreciated how you gave us the best use case per machine. Thank you!

[liza]

I went for the Brother. Its a thoughtful machine. Its makers consider the small time-wasters (threading the needle, the notch) and common issues (side bobbin, the tray for cloth extension ) with conventional machines and made changes to fix those. That puts them ahead of those who dont bother to improve in these areasin my mind.
