leloi Sewing Machines Quote: Company: Singer Make: 4572 Lifespan: I've had it for about eight years probably. Review: It's a good beginner machine and can do all the basics and a few fancier things. I've used a Bernina at work and thought it was steadier, but it required a little more knowledge too. Basically my Singer has served me well, but I'm about ready to move on. Recommendation: It's a really good beginner machine, however, if your buying a newer machine test it well, because I've heard the newer ones aren't so sturdy. |

sodabottle37 Are there no references for knitting? Does no one else knit or crochet? Granted, knitting sites tend to not make sense, or are difficult to follow, but there's always hard references, suck as Stich n' b***h Nation, Vogue Knitting, Family Knitting, etc. Hobby Lobby and Crafts 2000 are my favorite yarn stores, HL for its prices and Crafts for its selection. Books-A-Million is my favorite book store, as they always have Stich N' b***h and knitting magazines in stock. I think that Vogue Knitting is my favorite mag, but all the projects take so much time that I always end up scaling them back, and then don't really like them as much as the pictures. Also, the Encyclopedia of Knitting is a really useful book smile |

Sewing Machines
Quote: Company: Singer Make: Ultralock serger Lifespan: I've had it for almost three years. Review: It has a decent price tag, but it's not near the quality of other machines. I bought it because I liked my singer sewing machine, but I wouldn't buy it again. I've had to get it repaired twice for pieces that broke (which ended up costing about the price of the machine). When it breaks again, and I'm sure it will sad , I'm just going to get a new one. This one isn't worth the frustration. Recommendation: Buy something else. |

Company: Singer
Make: CG 3500 (Industrial) Lifespan: I've had it 1, it's supposed to last for up to 50 if I keep it in good shape. Review: Lovely to work with, easy to use, and is the same model used by my University's costume shop currently. Recommendation: Good for beginners or advanced tailors and seamstresses! Industrial is especially good if you do costumes and sew odd materials often, such as leather or plastic. |
