Lets not forget there are plenty of vintage machines out there that are really great price but more then that they have plenty of decorative stitches, metal body and heavy motor that will sew a bumper on a buick without hesitation. lol They have build in button hole, zig zag, embroidery capabilities and are easy to repair because they are mechanical, not computerize or electronic that fail a lot and cost a lot to repair, and a lot of sewing repairmen hate seeing those plastic machines come in. I have been a tailor for over 30yrs and I have always used vintage machines. The newest machine I have is a singer made in 1994 and the oldest is a White brand made in 1958. Even my serger is a 1986 and it sews like a dream. I have 11 vintage machines and they have made wedding gowns to men suits to cushion covers to quilts and never let me down. If your starting out sewing and not sure how its going to go, I would recommend a vintage machine. Its also a way to learn about a sewing machine and how they work on a more simple level then all the computerized and electronic stuff to get in your way. Then if u decide to stick with it then by all means get yourself a 2023 machine....or not.😉
I wish I had your skill. I started sewing as a teenager but then forgot about it when I went off to college and started working etc, I wish i would have stuck with it.
I agree. I bought a Memorycraft 9000 Embroidery machine from my quilter. Paid $400.00. It's from the 90's. Had it for less than a year and had barely used it. Now it won't turn on. I think the electronic board went out. Pretty sad that a machine built now only lasts 25 years. Currently using my awesome Featherweight while waiting for my other machine to come back from being serviced.
I learned how to use a sewing machine in the 60s. When I decided I wanted to sew again I bought a moderately-priced computerized machine that worked well but I didn't like always having to look up the codes - I just couldn't memorize them. I sold it and now have only vintage machines.
Я согласна .что механические машины намного прочнее. У меня тикматик пфафф немец .5860 более 25 лет .шьет все .Но иногда хочеться красивую строчку дополнить в изделиях или что то вышить
@@susantaulli6580you can always pick it up again, I did and have been sewing almost daily or at least crafting in on way or another. Its great for mental health.
Great video, thanks. It would have been nice if you had mentioned the price of the machines, either written on the screen or mentioned verbally, just for easy reference. I'm a garment sewer myself, I'm currently using a very basic entry level machine, and I'm seriously considering updating. I'm not in the USA, but honestly, your shop looks fantastic! a dream to visit. I wish we have such great sewing machine shops in my country. Thanks again for the video and best wishes for your shop and your lovely staff.
I think vintage is best as well. I bought a top of the line Singer back in 1975 and it's still going today. I did have the tension worked on once, but it's a great machine! If the power grid goes out, none of these would work, would they?
I love using the Treadle machine foe Embroidery because I love do cut work it also good when the electric goes out although I use other machines yet I love the mechanical ones best,, I am trying to get another vintage 😃😃 you can free motion with the hoop anyway you want specifically lacework and even if it have Zigzag stitch I do cording faster❤ I love these new ones still
Thoughts on a Janome HD1000 & Bernette b05 Academy. I want something that I won't be limited on. I'm looking to explore & do some simple quilting projects. I want a good quality machine that will last me. I dont want computerized :) Im not sure if the HD1000 is too basic of a machine.
Thanks for showing those fabulous machines. Modern sergers are great…my first and only serger was a singer..threading it was a pain! That was probably one of the first made! Over 20 years ago. 🇦🇺
Seriously helpful-thank you so much! I will say I still don’t know what machine to buy. Wish I lived in Spokane so I could just swing by to chat with you all! 😊 I want to make things out of duck canvas, and I also want to repair and alter my clothes … denim jeans, thick fleece hoodies, stretchy technical fabrics like schöller pants, as well as thick wool sweaters … I have a really nice wool sweater that fits great but sleeves are too long.. so I want to shorten them. My instinct is that I need a mid-range heavy duty sewing machine (the Janome HD9BE looked perfect until I saw the $2500 price tag lol)… and a good serger/coverstitch combo machine. I guess I’d spend that if it will make life easy and pay for itself quickly by allowing me to produce quickly. But if there’s a cheaper machine that will do just fine, I’d love to know your advice and I’d even buy from you if you’ll ship it to me.
It would have been a better experience for me when I purchased a new machine for my wife a couple years back to have had a store with the variety of brands that you have shown here. In my experience shopping for a more advanced machine is a tricky process even after all the research, and test runs the machine we chose was an overall disappointment. The best machines are the simpler the better since 99% of stitch work is straight stitch for the average sewer.
It is definitely helpful for customers and our machine department staff alike to have many different machines to choose from to find the best fit for each individual sewer.
Which sewing machine will be best for sewing round design vine leaf flower using free motton? 1/ Juki TL 2000qi 2/ Brother pq1500 sL Or if you have any opinion on low budget please let me know.

I am looking for a traveling light weight machine that I can take to quilting classes. I have an embroidery Pfaff and I really don't want to take it out anymore plus it weighs quite a bit.
okay, i realized this question is too generalized. I know it all depends on what you want to do on a sewing machine, and what level are you in sewing and WHAT TYPE of sewing machine you want. but the good thing is that you have so many choices. mechanical, Heavy Duty, or computerized.
I know you are trying to sell machines but you are recommending people starting out to spend thousands of dollars on a machine when at that point they should spend less than $500.
@@sydneysteve7 Prices as they stand now range from this to this. Prices may very. They don't put the price because 99% of everything they show is not realistic for others to buy.

My grandmother and mother-in-law wouldn't believe all the wonderful features. My grandmother taught me to sew on her mother's treadle.
I absolutely love my Lyric. It's a machine you won't need to "upgrade" for a while, if you are a sewer or piece quilts
I notice that never do they decuss price on any of them.
Thank you for this video, most informative and helpful video about machines that I’ve ever come across. Helped me finally pick a machine

Which sewing machine will be best for sewing round design vine leaf flower using free motton?
1/ Juki TL 2000qi
2/ Brother pq1500 sL
Or if you have any opinion on low budget please let me know.
My favorite is the janome hq stitch quilting sewing machine 710
But I can't afford to buy with that much money.
I am looking for a traveling light weight machine that I can take to quilting classes. I have an embroidery Pfaff and I really don't want to take it out anymore plus it weighs quite a bit.
I just need a machine that can sew leather, vinyl or denim with out struggling. Which one do you suggest?
Janome is the best
What machine would be best for free motion quilting on felted wool
Morning what is the price and where are you located
Prices vary for each machine, but we are located at 16002 E Broadway Ave Spokane Valley, Washington.
Is this content available in Australian states?
Wish you told the price for each machine.
Where about are you near to Mablethorpe Lincolnshire?
Not very close i'm afraid! We are in Spokane, Wa in the United States, but if you're ever in the area we have free coffee haha!
Very BEAUTIFUL
Thank you!
Second Hand/Reconditioned Gnome HQ Stitch Quilting Sewing Machine 710 I want to buy at low price?
Thank you for all the links with aditional and detailed information. Loved the Janome CM 17
You are welcome! We almost reached the character limit for the RUclips Description, i'm glad they all fit!
Why don't you talk about the Pfaff machines? They are excellent machines.
We mentioned 6 Pfaffs in the video, they are very good machines!
They didn’t mention Juki and I don’t see any in the description either.
okay, i realized this question is too generalized. I know it all depends on what you want to do on a sewing machine, and what level are you in sewing and WHAT TYPE of sewing machine you want. but the good thing is that you have so many choices. mechanical, Heavy Duty, or computerized.

Where are your SINGER machine
i found a "MASON" sewing machine at the dump but cant find a "stitch" of information on it.
Is it a Singer 15 clone?
No, its 60s or 70s design. Very well built @@daxxydog5777

so basically get a sewing/embroidery machine an it depends on projects ( takes money to make money so dont care how mych to spend )
