Definitely look on trademe... heaps come up for really cheap and I'd just take it to get serviced (around $50) and it'll be as good as new (providing it ain't broken!)]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:40:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17849&PID=401929&title=sewing-machines#401929 <![CDATA[Sewing machines : DF would shoot me if i spent that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17849&PID=401922&title=sewing-machines#401922 Author: MissCandice

I agree with Nikki I wouldn't buy it and stick to the popular brands like Janome or Bernina. Dh brought me Janome about 2 years for $2000 it is all computerised it does normal sewing as well as quilting and has got a huge table for when sewing big pieces of fabric. Here is the pic of the one I have got

Here is the link http://www.janome.com.au/

Some sewing machines have an overlock stitch which is similar.

Personally, there is no way in hell I would buy one of those cheap knock-off machines.

If you want my opinion (feel free to ignore me ) I would buy an older second hand model from a reputable brand. Singer, bernina, elna are some decent ones.

I have a shiiiiiite Brother machine and while it was cheap, and does the job, I'd have rather spent my money on a simple reliable machine.

So there's my two cents worth ]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:10:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17849&PID=401791&title=sewing-machines#401791 <![CDATA[Sewing machines : Hmmm so true..

It looks ok but the thing I would be a bit dubious about would be the overlocking facility. Overlockers have 3 or 4 lots of thread going at once and need 2 needles plus 2 loopers. I can't see from that photo how it could possibly overlock.]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 08:37:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17849&PID=401679&title=sewing-machines#401679 <![CDATA[Sewing machines : I want a sewing machine to make...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17849&PID=401675&title=sewing-machines#401675 Author: MissCandice

I want a sewing machine to make Kylah a quilt, its going to be for her first bed with photos and personalized stuff from when she was a baby.. Also would like to make inserts for her nappies..

Do you think this would be ok. Its very affordable and says it does overlock too?]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 08:30:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17849&PID=401675&title=sewing-machines#401675
