    Sewing machine recommendation?

    Hi folks - been checking out the forum for a bit now and starting to think about making a hammock. I don't have a sewing machine though.

    Is it just a case of picking up whatever I can second hand or are there specific features that I'd need. Any recommendations on an inexpensive starter machine?

    Cheers,

    Coach

    Check the "guidelines" thread in my sig. Others say they have found it helpful.
