how to buy a sewing machine
I have a guest post over at Shelterrific today on buying a sewing machine. This is always a question I dread, I know just enough to give a bit of advice but not enough to feel like I'm not potentially steering somebody towards spending a lot of money on something they don't like, or worse, won't use very often. So, here's to hoping it helps a little.
Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for a sewing machine for some time now. :P

I have been sewing for the top designers in Miami for years. I learned on the basic Singer, but when I went to upgrade I switched to Bernina. The secret is having the right tools for the right job. Bernina has a wide range of "feet" to pick from and holds it's trade in value.

Let's hear it for Berninas! After many years of using my mother's and grandmother's hand-me-down Singers, I finally got a Bernina and man, do I love that thing.
