I need something very basic, but reliable I suppose. Would like to show my boys how to use it too. I tend to hand do hems etc, but want to make a few pillow cases, stitching in the heading tape on curtains absolutely not for making guinea pig playtunnels out of fleece, and maybe expand from there.
I did a lot of sewing as a child and hope it all comes back to me, but the machine I've had for years has never worked properly. . It was a gift which is lovely, but it just sits staring at me. Both DM and MIL have tried it out and agree.
I've seen am Elna Elina 20 , looks like the sort of thing. .. but then some of these are half price? !
What would be on your checklist?
