Beginners like the Brother ES2000 sewing machine because they can get a computerized model with some automation features, like an automatic needle threader, for a reasonable price. While it’s been available for years, it’s still a popular machine.

Use of high-quality plastics keeps it light-weight at 11 pounds and the built in carrying handle makes it easy to move around the house or to and from sewing classes. This machine offers easy set up, a smoothly operating foot pedal, and a quick drop-in bobbin system.

What’s not to like about the Brother XL2610 sewing machine? Besides being designed well for beginners, it’s cute and pink. Enough said. Well, really, there’s more to it than that.

Interestingly, this machine has some mixed reviews. Those new to sewing love this machine. Experienced seamstresses – not so much.

Seems the more experienced you are, the more you like or need the ability to fine-tune the precision of your work and this machine has mostly pre-set settings so there’s not a lot of fine-tuning that’s possible.

The Brother XL-3750 Sewing Machine comes with a great assortment of extras that make this a value buy.

First, it is appropriate for quilting if you get the bonus accessory pack (watch for that indication wherever you buy the machine).

Second, it has 35 built in stitches and 73 “stitch functions”.

A stitch function is a variation on a built-in stitch. When comparing stitch counts, look first at built-in stitches and then at how each machine allows variations of those stitches either through reverse patterns, stitch width modifications or stitch length modifications.

Singer Tradition 2250 Portable Sewing Machine

The Singer Tradition 2250 Portable Sewing Machine with 10 stitch patterns looks like a great sewing machine for beginners but my review says otherwise. With basic functionality, the Singer label and a price under $100 you’d expect it to be quite a deal. However, it doesn’t get a whole lot of love.

Mostly, it’s an issue with the bobbin. Whether it is user error or design error, the last thing you want to do is saddle a new seamstress with a machine this picky.

The Janome Threadbanger TB12 sewing machine was introduced in 2008 as a co-branded sewing machine with the popular Threadbare DIY sewing design and fashion website. It is a twin to the popular New Home L108 except it now includes the slick black and red graphics that mirror the colors of the ThreadBanger site.

It’s an ideal sewing machine for beginners who want to work with thick fabrics and need a power house to get the work done. It’s not overly complicated and has been described as being strong and forgiving.
