UPDATE: Thanks for the pointers! I did go to a small sewing store and I bought a Babylock Denimpro. It was really easy to use, so that was the selling point (I told the owner what I needed and he pointed me to this one.) The guy was super helpful and showed me how to use it, then I tried doing it while he watched. For me, that made all the difference! I spent more than planned (so what's new? ;)) but I didn't want to buy something that will break easily. He said they will help me fix any problems. I figured the service was worth it! Now I have to open the box and use the darn thing LOL
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I need a cheap (around $100) sewing machine to sew my dd's girl scout's batches and try-its! I have such a backlog and really need to learn how to do this before she graduates from high school :)
I might try doing simple hemming, too, if it's easy enough. Otherwise I don't see myself using this too much. Can you give me a recommendation based on this? I read the archives and you all had mentioned getting second hand machines - does that make sense for me? What's the best way to go about this? It's a little scary because I know nothing about sewing! Thanks,
Kris
