For my needs and wants, the JUKI HZL-F300 looks the best. I make lots of quilts and I make clothing and crafts. I need reliable straight stitching, strength to go through lightweight fabrics and heavy fabrics, too. Don't want to have problems with tension setting. I also don't need multiple fancy stitches. Thanks for your review.
I bought a Singer QS 9960. paid $400. I'M a new be to a real sewing machine as I have been mending my clothes with a 1899 SInger tredal for the last 20+ years. I did lots of research B 4 buying. While the QS 9960 is not built like my tredal it has brought me out of the dark ages and into a pleasurable experience. some things I don't like about it is that it shake after about half throttle, to the point it shakes the table so I just slow down. The two lights are not bright enouth and causes a shadow over the 5/8 seam alloance mark making it hard to see. Some of the decorative stitches are kinda funky, however, there are allot of other stitches that are nice. Considering the price I love this machine. For $400 all the stitches, and features like auto thread cutter, 600 stitches, its a bargin is you get one that isn't a dud.. You just can't get another machine in that catagory for this price...or double for that matter..
What’s with the clickbait preview picture of some machine, not in this review, that looks like it’s control console is like a full phone display. Undermines your whole message.
I have Singer Quantum 9960, I love it. It beginner friendly. My old sewing machine is Singer 200-2 which I still do my top stitching on the quilt that I make!
I will never leave my Pfaff sewing machines. I have my original made in Germany where quality and durability was the goal. I would really like to know who paid for this review. Money outweighs the truth in a lot of the reviews.
I’ll stick with my old Pfaff. It would have been nice to see which machines were in the test group for each chosen machine. Were Pfaff, Elena, Husqvarna, or Bernina sewing machines part of the testing? I need more proof of their results.
My "old" Pfaff is almost 40 years old. So sturdy and well designed that it is still competing with modern ones. All the stitches I need, and perfect for any kind of work. I still thank my parents for it.
Every sewing machine models demonstrated are junk. Did Valid Consumer’s randomly pick whatever sewing machines just to create a video for the sake of getting paid from RU-vid?
Absolutely! I wouldn't buy any of these machines. If you want to throw away your money on a disposable machine, consider these recommendations. If you want a quality machine--even on a budget -- there are plenty of much better machines out there. Go to a sewing machine store, (not Walmart, a hobby or fabric store), and get a good machine at a good price.
Over the years, I've seen bad comments on those machines too. Especially, a Brother machine which I don't understand is a lemon because I read that it is made in the same place as a Baby lock and is of the same quality.
you said more than once when assessing these machines that some had tension issues in that case why have youn given yhem such high ratings, tension is an extremely important issue in all sewing projects
Agree I'm here because I'm researching to purchase a new machine my machine seems to not want to cooperate with all materials you'd think ... a machine made for jeans would see cringe cotton and crepe pretty easy ... I've tried every combination tendon stitch and it just doesn't get it right ... all the while missing stitched and gathering thread at the bottom ugh
Im glad i had great professors to tell me which machines are good to use and buy. Singer is not like it use to be. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners or long use.
Thanks for the video. I'm looking for a sewing machine that can sew over macrame cord that is 5mm thick (I think it ends up being a little thicker with tied knots). What can you recommend? Thank you :)
You talking crap..you put down the the Singer by saying it needs regular oiling. All Sewing Machine needs oiling. Depends on how much they are used,,,the Poop you said about the Janome is crap. Janome Machines. DONT NEED TO HAVE THE TENSION RESET,,EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE THREAD,, THE TENSION IS SET AND YOU JUST SEW AWAY. GUTTERMAN 100 percent Polyester thread is the best. YOU DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT JANOME SEWING MACHINE,,,THEY ARE THE BEST OF THIS LOT. ANY MODEL JANOME. Is good. Smarten up.
