You have my vote! I'd love to have a Singer that looks like the antique machines. I have the original Featherweight sewing machine with the carrying case and all the attachments and I love it! The only thing is that as I get older the harder it is to carry it from place to place. It would be fun to have a new old fashioned Singer with zig zag stitches.

So agree! Really wish Singer would put an updated Featherweight with standard and decorative stitches in different colors. I'd snatch up a green turquoise one immediately. Europro did a portable small white machine that looked like a Featherweight in it a case twenty years ago though. And Alphasew actually put out a Featherweight clone a few years back.

I am a sewing machine technician and we always test the widest zigzag on 8 layers of denim on every machine except Babylock and Brother bc they they have a lighter needle bar and it can damage it, so if you do a lot of denim, don’t do a beginner Brother. Also, some of those Brothers dont have a chassis and a plastic hook so service is basically impossible. They are meant to be thrown away. I would always recommend a Janome. They are like Hondas, do the job well and are easy to fix with out breaking the bank

I saw a sewing machine tech take apart a singer, brother and Janome, to compare the parts inside. His professional opinion was, the Janome will last longer, had better quality parts. But he also said that any European sewing machine would be better than a singer or brother also. I liked this tech, he wasn’t affiliated with any brand. He fixes machines in his house.
@liesellein

@@SparkyOne549 yeah, the place I work at we don’t discriminate either, we sell eight different brands, and fix all of them no matter what. Yes, and no to the European brands. You have to be really careful, because Pfaff, Viking and singer are all owned by the same company, SVP. In fact, some of the best Viking machines are actually secret Janome‘s. Janome builds machines for basically every single company out there, except for Bernina’s, however Janome also actually makes the Bernette line to Bernina specifications so it can get tricky. As a beginning sewist tho, keep it simple

That little janome looks like a dream. I tried sewing as a kid on my grandma's Brother VX1120 and I blame that machine for me giving up sewing. I wanted desperately to go slow but if tried to gently press the pedal on that machine it would stall but if you pressed hard it would go at a billion miles an hour. It also was incredibly fussy with it's bobbin and trying to sew something like denim gave it fits. I know brother is considered a good brand but Im convinced that that brother was a lemon. How my grandmother tolerated it for years I'll never know but her first old machine was an antique Domestic treadle machine so maybe it just running off electricity was amazing enough for her lol

Ayyy you tested my Brother sewing machine LX3817!!! I bought mine at Walmart and it worked perfectly out the box. I hope they step up quality control! I have it in gray and I put stickers on it to cover the design. I bought this to make my Halloween costume this year and I have to say it got me hooked! I used it to sew a suede corset with faux leather trim(even ran over the plastic boning). Also made a petticoat and skirt. (bottom tier was 767 inches long) and it handled the tulle and organza like a boss. I have only had an issue once. While sewing a soft minky/faux fur blanket. I broke 3 twin needles while trying to topstitch. Only my singer titanium needles were able to sew through the two layers (4 in corners). Other than that this is very beginner friendly. You don't have to worry about adjusting stitch lengths, it has several straight stich settings and you just pick whichever is appropriate. It has almost all of the most used stitches. It's very easy to thread. Footpedal is easy to control. And it's just a very straightforward "sit down and sew" machine.

My mom had a portable kenmore and only sewed by necessity (but was fairly skilled) but she wouldnt let me touch her machine. Then she sold her machine and bought a slightly newer kenmore in a table at a garage sale (mid 70s vs early 80s. And the swap happened mid 90s) and she finally begrudgingly allowed me to use the newer machine, but it hated everyone and everything and often you had to cut projects out of the bobbin. I didnt own my own machine until i was in my mid 20s (05?) and picked up a lower end bernette. While this finally allowed me freedom to teach myself to sew, i regret the purchase. It was far too expensive for what it was. I used it for 15yrs and donated it to high school sewing club when i “upgraded” it with janome HD-5000. Id picked out janome HD model a decade prior as my ideal machine because i prefer non computerized. Meanwhile, i got a lust for vintage and now own a singer 501 rocketeer, singer featherweight, singer 185, necchi supernova, necchi lydia, and a janome 3/4th hello kitty machine. Vintage are made so much better, but you need to be willing to accept quirks and tinker which most newbies are scared to do. Most inexpensive plastic machines are pretty garbage, anything you find at walmart or joanns will be junk. I really really like janome mech machines for entry level, but they do tend to range in the 400 dollar pricepoint. Ive picked up most of my vintage machines for free-200 bucks but since pandemic the prices shot through roof. I would say any machine that gets you excited to sew is a good one, but if you are looking for brand new entry level go with janome. If you like to tinker keep eye out for vintage machines (anything predating 60s tends to be good. After they have nylon gears and are prone to chewing themselves to bits) And if you can buy local, or sit down and try out several at a local store it would be ideal, but sew/vacs are a dying breed and even big ones cater to quilters and want to push high end computerized machines and dont carry many mech ones.

That tiny plastic thing works amazing, but too many nylon parts and I am afraid it will die too soon for me. The Janome has an impressive bit of metal inside and I would have no problem making button holes with just zig zag and no special settings, so I guess the Janome wins. Funny: she says the Janome also doesn't have hand control, but it looks like there is a fly wheel on the side. Hmm.

Ok both the Brother and the Janome have a fly wheel: my definition of "hand control". The kind of hand control you are talking about is a power on go switch on the machine rather than foot control.

I had a brother 32 LX and now it does that or at least did that. I fixed the issue but I'm still pawning it because I ended up spending the money upon A another sewing machine. A Kenmore 1941 so I can say I am not a beginner anymore I guess

I've been trying to decide between the brother lx3817 and the janome new home easy to use and I don't know which to get and I watched you review the janome in another video and you put brother the highest in this video so i dont know where they stand against each other? Can you tell me which you would think is best for a beginner?

I need to buy something and learn how to use it, I am small and I have to shorten all trousers I am buying, it's always like 5-15 cm longer than I need (if you speak centimetrish) and do it manualy takes me like half of the day. 😀 I bought some of those micro battery machines for like 12 eur and it sometimes works, but it can sew only very thin fabric, denim is too much for that, but for very thin fabrics, it surprisingly kind of works, but you can easily damage it, that thing which is cathing thread down there is just thin piece of metal and when you pull thread, you can bend it and it will stop sewing, it looks like your first brother then. 😀 But it's interesting that even such a little thing for 12 eur can actually sew. The most ridiculous thing is that some 50 years old communist sewing machine which my grandma uses still works. 😀 Unfortunately it looks like those companies sell different models on different markets, I can't find any of these in my country.

I'm starting a patch jacket and my mom handed me the LX3817. I know you said it'll do 8 layers of denim (holy moly), but do you think it would do ok with a patch on top of 1-2 layers of denim? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I really have no idea where to start with sewing really or what would be safe for the machine.

Speaking from personal experience, do NOT waste your money on the varmax mini sewing machine. The thread kept getting stuck in the machine or snapping, the tension is hard to adjust, and its overall just a huge headache just for one stitch pattern. Trust me, its worth it to spend a bit extra to get a nicer machine with more stitches

8:35 TROUBLESHOOTING QUESTION I bought this as my very first machine and I when I altered 3 of my outfits and it worked great. Today, the thread from the bottom keeps wading up at the very first stitch

Typically that means your bobbin is threaded wrong or you’re not putting down the presser foot when you sew.
@1stJohn3.9-10

@BlueprintDIY I decided to replace the bobbin with a different color: so white on top, yellow one bottom. As I pulled the wad out, I can now see that the white thread is getting caught down inside of the bobbin section, and the needle starts to bend when it stops/jams on the 3rd stitch.
