[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 403466, member: 3419"] I have a Singer that was about $250, and I traded in a wonderful old machine that was worth far more than that ... but the repairs were adding up and it just didn't make sense (cents). :) Definitely, take a class. It will be well worth it. I need to take a class, too. I have sewn for yrs--costumes for the kids, etc--and I am so bad at it, the kids couldn't wait to get out of whatever they were wearing because they were so uncomfortable. I make things that "look" good (Gee, ya think I'm an artist) but that are not well designed or well sewn, even with-a pattern. The best thing to learn is just straight lines, and how to fold over a hem or seam that has ripped. That is 90% of sewing ... just repairing cheap clothes bought at the mall. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
