Singer Sewing Machines For Sale

Best Sewing Machine for a Beginner under $300?
Hi,
Looking for some advice on the best sewing machine for a beginner – I sewed at school, but this will be my first machine to own.
I dont want to spend more than about $300-350, and want to learn to alter clothing and make simple clothing projects like dresses and baby clothes, as well as make some simple curtains for our new house.
I’ve looked at these models so far, which are all on sale right now:
Brother NS10 $349
Elna Sew Green $199
Brother XL 5500 $249
Brother XL 5700 $299
Singer 2263 $299
Janome JR1012 $199
Can anyone provide any advice on which of these (or others in similar price range) might be the best choice?
Thanks!
I would stay away from the super-cheap models at Walmart, ect. They would probably only frustrate you because they are not made well. My recommendation for a budget-priced new machine is a Kenmore from Sears, they are made by Janome at a little less than the brand name cost.
Visit a dealer where she can sit and try the models out. Take some scraps of your own fabric to try on. A good dealer is worth paying a bit more for since you know where you can get it serviced and they often offer classes to learn the machines and can help you when you have difficulties. Check to see if they have a used machine that was a trade in- you may get a better machine at lower cost. If you can find an older, all metal machine at a garage sale or thrift store you can probably clean and oil it yourself and it will probably keep going for a long time as they were built to last back then.
