My mother used to make our clothes when we were little. I would help her thread the sewing machine needle. That was the beginning of my love for sewing. I have many memories of my mother and the projects that we created. Here's to you creating many sewing projects and some beautiful memories of your own.

This is a versatile, lightweight machine that is great for sewing, quilting, and decorating clothing. It comes with 25 built-in stitches, a thread cutter, automatic needle threader, drop-in bobbin system, quick-change presser feet, and a one-step automatic buttonholer. This is a great feature, considering most inexpensive machines come with a four-step buttonhole, which requires four steps instead of just one.

The Brother XL2610 is very much like the XL2600i, except for one important feature. This has a four-step buttonholer, which unlike the Brother XL2600i that has a one-step automatic buttonhole, requires four steps instead of one. Because of this, we would recommend the Brother XL2600i. The Brother XL2600i is eligible for Prime Shipping.

This is our personal favorite. It’s not only great for beginners, but the avid sewer as well. Don’t let the low price fool you! This lightweight sewing machine is incredible, especially at such a low price for a computerized sewing machine. The one-step buttonhole alone would make this a great choice because most inexpensive machines come with a four-step buttonhole. Not only that, there are seven buttonhole styles to choose from.

The Brother CS6000i has many of the same features found on a $1,000 high-end sewing machine. It is easier to learn and lightweight, making it easy to carry back and forth between classes or workshops, and it’s reliable. It comes with 9 presser feet, which can be very costly when purchased separately, including a walking foot, spring action quilting foot, quilting guide for foot holder, an attachable oversized table for quilting and large projects, and a hard case/cover. The Brother CS6000i is eligible for Prime Shipping.

The Singer 7258 Stylist 100-Stitch Computerized Free-Arm Sewing Machine. This computerized sewing machine has many of the same features as a higher priced machine.

Offering 100 built-in stitches, the Singer 7258 Stylist includes a large variety of stitches for all types of sewing, such as fashion sewing, quilting, heirloom, crafts, home and decorative sewing.

Among the top five product features, this machine has an automatic needle threader and six styles of one-step automatic buttonholes. The one-step buttonholer alone makes this a great pick, and there’s so many more great features.

This is one step up from the really nice Singer 7256 70-Stitch Computerized Free-Arm Sewing Machine.
