A sewing machine is a machine that uses a needle to form a stitch by inter-looping a thread through fabric with a thread from the bobbin. There are many brands of sewing machines available. Most brands offer a wide range of functionality across a range of models. Sewing machine dealers usually offer several brands. Fabric stores tend to offer only one or two brands. Discount department stores offer low to mid-range models from a single brand.

Sewing Machine Buying Guide
Selection of a sewing machine is determined by the type of sewing it will be used for. Today's sewing machines go far beyond the straight stitch of original models and zigzag stitch made famous when stretch fabrics became widely available. If you are simply looking to mend clothes, make an occasional Halloween costume or do a bit of crafting, a basic machine will do. If you sew frequently, construct lots of fine garments, create quilts or produce all of your own draperies and home decorating projects, you will want to invest in a mid-range to high-end machine. If you are highly creative and live to sew every day, you may want to splurge on a high-end machine. A good sewing machine dealer will offer the option to trade up to a more advanced machine if your needs advance. Authorized dealers of major brands also offer at least one free sewing class on the use of the machine. -
