I am looking for a good sewing machine and embroidery. Can anyone help me? Any brands that are reliable and not expensive at all?
“Reliable and Not Expensive” embroidery machines are not easy to find.
Fortunately this is an excellent time for people to be able to do some embroidery/sewing machine shopping and finding great values.
The major sewing machine manufacturers have all introduced new Top-of-the-Line machines within the last year. Brother, Viking, Pfaff, Bernina…it is quite an opportunity for people to purchase the “out-dated” but still fabulous machines at a far greater discount then ever….new or used.
Check your local dealers for Brother 4500 or 2500 that were used as trade ins for the new one. Or check to see if the pricing has been reduced. The new Brother has just hit the market so the Brother trade-ins should start taking off soon. (Especially later this fall when the machines will be available.) Look for Pfaff 2140, 2144, 2170 that were traded in although they may be harder to find because it has been about a year.
Viking also released a new top of the line this summer so you may find a number of trade-ins as well.
Janome has some nice embroidery/sewing machines that are not as pricey as Brother or Pfaff. People really like their Janomes and they have lower price points than the others and still have good reliability.
Shop around at your local dealers. Be wary of internet sales. You would be safer to purchase your machine from a dealer because the dealer should carry a warranty with a used machine so if anything goes wrong, they will fix it or tune it up. Internet sales are an “as is” and you may end up having to pay a dealer a lot of money to fix it.
