You're also welcome to try my sewing machine out and see how you like it. It's good quality but basic and can get the job done on just about anything. I can teach you some of the basics for pillows and other things. I have a friend at church who has started making the cutest outfits for her little girl and she said she just started following patterns and they taught her everything that she needed to know.

Good luck on your search. Unfortunately, I don't know which machine is better, but there are many people out in blog land that do.

I saw one with lots of bells and whistles at Costco for $129.<br /><br />Good luck learning to sew!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424336265089036857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954298907704305280.post-14495770670761892772010-06-23T15:28:04.377-04:002010-06-23T15:28:04.377-04:00I have my new sewing machine on layaway as we spea...I have my new sewing machine on layaway as we speak (I get in August woohoo) I bought the Brother Inovis 900D.

You can get one for around $50 and it works great! It's been amazing for me, being a beginner. I've made blankets, pillow cases, and done minor alterations. The only time I've been a little frustrated was when I tried to patch some jeans. Because it's so small, it's tough to get the material on there. Other than that, I highly recommend it for starting out. I'll probably get something a little bigger and fancier in a few more months, once I feel my abilities are worth the money. ;) I love the pillows in the first few pictures, and are a couple from Fly Through Our Window's blog? I love Darby, she inspired me to learn to sew so I can make clothes for our future children.<br /><br />Sorry I wrote a book!
