Top 7 Best Sewing Machines for 2021

There’s nothing kinder to the environment than extending the life of the things we own.

A sewing machine can help you repair the clothes you already have as well as enable you to create embroidery, face masks, clothes and quilts!

It’s an essential purchase for the modern household that cares about the world around them.

There are a few things to look out for when buying a sewing machine:

  • How many stiches can it do and how many styles of stitch? You only need two stitches if you’ve never sewn before but if you have more experience, the more stitches the better. You can’t expand the range of stitches on a sewing machine, you’d need to upgrade to get more – so better to buy more than you need than less.
  • What accessories are in the box? You should get a bobbin and a foot pedal at a minimum, but you might get a storage box, a worktable, a zipper foot, etc. too.
  • What bonus features do you get? We like to have an automatic threader and thread cutter but you can get plenty of other features. The more the better, they make life so much easier.
  • What’s the frame made from? As you might expect the metal frames are going to last much longer than plastic ones. You can’t easily repair a sewing machine frame, so this is something to bear in mind when purchasing.

Our seven best sewing machines offer a range of options (at a range of price points) and there’s something there for every sewer from beginner to expert.

We found it very easy to use on quilting projects thanks to the free arm and drop feed.

Best of all the LCD screen makes it super easy to get everything adjusted to suit your sewing style.

SINGER | Heavy Duty 4411 Sewing Machine, Medium

SINGER Heavy Duty

Not every sewing machine can handle heavy fabrics like denim and burlap.

This one uses a heavy motor and a strong metal frame to make working with heavy material very easy, indeed.

We’d be surprised if you could find a project that you’d want to undertake at home that this sewing machine couldn’t handle.

We even found it could tackle four layers of canvas at once!

If you want to make beautiful, embroidered creations than you need a machine which supports embroidery stitching, rather like this one.

There’s no doubt that this capability can come at a steep price, but this is actually very reasonable for a machine of its capability.

You can import designs on a USB or just use thousands supplied by Brother online.

If personalization of garments is important to you, this is an excellent option.

We’re also impressed with how quietly this works, and the stiches are always perfect.

Some users say it’s “push and play” and we tend to agree with them, usability matters, and Singer got it right here.
