If you have only recently taken up sewing as a hobby or are looking to buy a first time sewing machine for a friend or family member, then no doubt you will probably be interested in knowing what are the best beginner sewing machines. Buying a sewing machine for the first time can be a daunting task as there are quite a lot of factors to consider before making the plunge and spending your hard-earned cash. Furthermore there are a lot of brands to choose from and some have models that are better suited to beginners than others. The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more.

Of course, the AE1700 has a reverse function for securing the ends of your seams and an easy flat bed / free arm conversion for trouser hems and other difficult to reach areas.
