I just got an SOS text from one of my girlfriends.

She gave away her sewing machine!

Now, she needs a new one....

But...

My friend only sews occasionally, and she needs a simple, serviceable machine.

Have you ever been asked for advice on buying sewing machines?

Every year, before Christmas, I usually get asked at least once.... So, I have put together a buying guide for Sewing Machines. If you are thinking about buying a sewing machine to teach your granddaughter (or your newly retired girlfriend),how to sew, check out my guide.

The picture you see (above) is me, the day I came home with 26 sewing machines.... I used the skills and wisdom I impart (for the first time ever!) in this sewing machine guide to pull of this incredible deal- and to decide which of these machines to keep in my permanent collection!

Learn how to assess "good" machines at thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales!
