How to pick a good one
For a beginner, reliable straight stitch, zigzag, adjustable stitch length and a straightforward bobbin are more valuable than hundreds of decorative programs. Speed control can build confidence.
Check weight, storage space, local servicing and whether common presser feet are included. A machine that is easy to thread and clear jams on will be used more often than a feature-packed mystery.
