Thread Injector Advice/Recomendation
I am considering a sewing machine for Christmas as somewhat of a gift for myself and my wife. I have been using my mom's old Sears, and it works ok, but I would like to consider something newer...and return this one to my mom. :) My wife has started showing some interest in sewing, making little purses and pajamas, etc., and I have made a tarp and UQ's and TQ's will follow....along with the odds and ends, tree straps, stuff sacks, wristies, etc.
I know I can shop around the used market, and I will do that, but if I were to walk into say Joann's or some local sewing shop, what are some models to consider as a model that would not be the basic starter machine, as we do have a little sewing experience, but something with a few more advanced features and in the $200 or less range? I plan to talk to some of the people at the local shops, but wanted to get a little feedback from you guys, knowing the type of stuff I would be working with. Is $150-$200 a range that will get me something that will last me a while and handle the type of stuff I want to do (hammocking gear, camping gear, etc.)
Another word for sewing machine
taffy:
Thread injector is just another word for "sewing machine" that somebody here came up with so the male gender would feel more comfortable talking about the fact that they are using a sewing machine. Sewing machine doesn't have any testosterone associated with it, but call it a thread injector, and now men are no longer afraid to say they use one.
