My daughter wants a sewing machine for her birthday, which is next week. My plan was to keep an eye out on craigslist, NextDoor, Buy Nothing, etc. but of course those haven't been options for several months now. I had also heard Costco sells a good beginner Brother sewing machine for under $150. However, Costco doesn't have any Brothers right now. I've been looking online but it seems many sewing machines are out of stock. I've looked at Joann, Michael's, Sears, and Walmart websites.
So, if anyone has suggestions about where else I can look for a good beginner (but not toy-like, something that could work for her for a while, if she sticks with it) sewing machine, or wants to recommend a certain machine, I'd love to hear about it.
