Sewing Forum gone

I wanted to share that I found an excellent sewing guide in leather and a review site, there is only about sewing, so I'm sure you will like it sewingland.org/best-sewing-machine-for-leather/. I've ordered a few tools from there for my work.

I recommend this forum sewing.patternreview.com if you are still up to date Also, if you're into sewing, I'm sure you'll be interested in these reviews sewingland.org/best-computerized-sewing-machine/. Yesterday, I got my sister one of them.

anything to do with sewingland by any chance Li`tom? I personally got some very good machines from GUR with the most excellent customer service

I think we need a dedicated sewing thread again, I am raring to get back to it. First I need to sort my new sewing room, I moved into this new build exactly a year ago and could not find some things yesterday so upmarket pegboards and shelves are now ordered

I have a bernina sewing machine, babylock overlocker and babylock cover stitch, all out and ready to use, I took the keyboard shelf off a desk which holds the two babylocks and the bernina is on a horn foldaway table with a perspex insert. I have the cheval mirror, the ironing board, the pressing cloths, tailors ham and so on but I need to sort my bits and bobs

Hello everyone! I’m new to this forum, but I need your recommendations. I’ve begun sewing just this month. I’m using my mom’s old sewing machine, but I realized that it is not as good as I want it to be. I think of buying a new one, but I don’t have any idea what machine should I choose.
Here www.craftyhangouts.com/best-sewing-machines-for-cosplay/ I found a good comparison. Singer Start 1304 looks nice, though if someone uses it, please let me know, I would be happy to hear your comments on it.

I would steer well clear of modern Singers. I can recommend either Sewing Machine World or Sewing Machines Direct if you are planning to buy on line, both companies offer excellent advice with regard to choosing a machine suitable for you or visit your local dealer if there is one near you. It also depends on how much you want to pay as prices range from about £50 to £12,000 but £500 should get you a good basic machine.

I second Susie’s advice about modern Singers. The brand was sold, along with a couple of others (Pfaff and Husqvrna I think, but don’t quote me on that!). Anyway, they’re no longer made by Singer, and have nothing like the quality and reliability of the original machines.

@Susie42 and @Bathsheba thank you!
I've never heard about those companies being sold. That makes sense, if the quality not as good a in the past.
I'll check Machine World or Sewing Machines Direct.

@Tiwi
Just a quick note to say it's "Sewing Machine World" not just Machine World. There are one or two sewing machine companies out there which should be avoided at all costs.

Sewing Machines Direct are based in Wrexham and Sewing Machine World is in King's Lynn.
