Are Singer Sewing Machines Suitable For Beginners?

While plenty of Singer's specialised sewing machines are designed for experienced seamstresses, beginners don't need to be left out! There are many Singer sewing machines that are great to learn on - here are the features you need to keep an eye out for:

• The number of stitches - the reason we use a sewing machine is to make the sewing experience faster and easier, and all sewing machines will come with a certain number of stitches they can create. Make sure to research what kinds of stitches you will need for the project you have in mind and if your desired machine is capable of them!
• Needle threader - having to thread a needle can be a tricky and frustrating experience, but some machines have an automatic needle threading function. You may want to learn how to do it manually, but if taking the time isn't for you, look for a Singer machine with this feature.
• Bobbin compartment - look for a sewing machine with a clear bobbin compartment or one that comes with an indicator that will alert you when you need to change the bobbin. The ones on the top of the machine are the easiest to load!

Do you want a mechanical or computerised sewing machine? There are benefits to both you should be aware of:

• Mechanical sewing machines allow you to learn the sewing stitches and other skills yourself and are more hands-on. They tend to be more straightforward than their computerised counterparts and are easier to maintain. They're usually cheaper too!

• Computerised sewing machines have many of their functions automated and usually come with a screen that allows you to browse and select their many functions. They will do most of the fiddly work for you but tend to be harder to maintain and pricier to buy.
