I’m not inexperienced but I don’t know much about different models, aside from the big brands. I’ve already had bad experiences with used ones, so I definitely want to buy new. I mainly sew stuffed animals and do small repairs on clothing. If I can sew through light leather, like sheepskin, that’s an absolute bonus.
Any help or advice is appreciated!


Whatever you get, make sure you can replace the light if it burns out. A relative bought a fancy Brother not too long ago. The light burned out. It requires a repair shop because it’s not a changeable bulb, it’s soldered in.
Good to know! Thanks.
