Both my sister and I have wanted to learn for years and are eager to start. I'm hoping to pick it up fast enough to get some things together for our trip! I don't want to spend too much, but want one that will work for a variety of projects. I'm hoping to do some pillows, simple clothing (open drapy cardigans), and general alterations - and my ultimate goal, a fish extender!!!! (I do plan on taking classes at my local Joanne Fabrics)
You can get great ones at decent prices at walmart or sears. The main things I would look for are just the basics..drop in bobbin, button hole setting, zig zag setting (for applique and finishing off seams), needle threader, etc. oh, look on amazon too!
