Can anyone reccommend a good starter sewing machine

[wonka]

As above, I want to start mending and making curtains, bedding nothing too complicated, any suggestions? Thanks

I have a Janome 1580 and really like it. Have it it for about 6/7 years so not sure if they will still make this exact model, but there will be an equivalent. I use it a lot for making things like curtains, cushions and fleece blankets, but don't do anything too complicated. It's easy to use, small to store, and runs well as long as it's serviced annually. I think it's actually capable of a lot more than I do with it, so good if you want to progress.

Thanks I'll have a google!
