Buying a Sewing Machine - Part 2

Where to buy it from? 

You can either buy your sewing machine online, at a large craft store or from a local store which specialises in selling sewing machines. I bought my first sewing machine from a local sewing store, that purely sells sewing machines and accessories. I would personally recommend buying your sewing machine this way as they tend to be able to offer the best prices and stock a larger range of brands and models.

When I bought my sewing machine from my local sewing machine store, I was allowed to test the model I wanted to buy, ask as many questions as I liked and was also offered 12 months of free sessions to assist me with learning to use my sewing machine. This is an absolutely great offer and the staff were so friendly.  

 

So what sewing machine do I have?

So let me introduce you to a member of my family, my Brother NS15. I bought my machine last year.  At that time, it was on sale (only time to buy one) with a special cash back offer from Brother (which was a special deal at the time). This cash back offer was not available to buyers purchasing their sewing machines online or at large craft stores. I absolutely, love my sewing machine. Its a lovely simple model, but not the base model, and includes 16 stitches (all I wanted and needed) and accessories.
