Uuuh - sewing!

It's nice to see that some people pick up sewing later in life. And don't only sew because they've learned it since they were kids. YAY.

And congratulations on your decision.

I've always (until now) bought second hand sewing machines. I've even got some for free from people who had one in their basement and didn't use, because I showed enormous interest in sewing.

Now I'm studying to become a tailor, and bought myself a decent Pfaff Expression 2.0 and a Pfaff Coverlock 4.0. It's really useful, and wills ave you a lot of stress if you consider sewing A LOT, to have really decent machines.

But as a beginner, just make sure you have something that runs without faults. And as some have mentioned, you won't need to have a computerized sewing machine with tons of stitches to confuse you in the beginning.
In my opinion you just need something to try your sewing powers with, to see if it's something for you - after that, if it is - you can always upgrade your gear. ;P

I have a couple of easy tutorials you could check out if you wanted to.
They're at

Hope I could help.
