Sewing Machines Features and Specification

The first sewing machine was invented in 1790. Currently, the sewing machine is revolutionised by computer technology.

If you are into good, well supported brands then Singer, Janome, Brother, PFAFF and Elna stand above the crowd. A decent entry-level sewing machine specification should include:

• 14 stitches
• 25 stitch functions
• Foot pedal / Snap-on presser foot
• 4 step automatic buttonholer
• Automatic bobbin winder
• Front loading bobbin
• Twin needle for two-colour stitching
• Thread tension control dial

A lot of housewives value traditional metal chassis. Many sellers unfairly promote this as a quality feature. Do not pay extra for anything, which is non-functional.

Sewing machine is a home appliance not a jewelry. Price for above sewing machine specifications should not exceed $250. This of course depends on the brand.

Popular brands include: Singer, Pfaff, Janome, Elna and Brother.
