Brother SQ9000 Sewing MachineThe Brother SQ9000 quilting sewing machine comes with an extra wide extension table and a number of quilting accessories.

This is exactly the same as the Brother XR9000 with a couple of major differences and identical to the newer SQ9050 (which comes with 20 more stitches).

Brother gave it a nice accent upgrade by applying the purple scroll splash across the front of the machine, threw in the quilting accessories (which previously had to be purchased separately) and gave it a nice, low price.

Janome ThreadBanger TB30Funky, cool graphics and light up buttons? I’m in! The Janome ThreadBanger TB30 is a work horse that also knows how to let its hair down.

Doesn’t it look like there’s a party happening on that machine?

I realize how the machine looks is not a significant factor when choosing your first sewing machine, but after looking at quite a number of very plain, very white sewing machines for beginners, it’s really hard not to be drawn in by the great colors on this one.

May 20, 2010
By Erin
Singer Confidence 7470 Sewing MachineFor sewing beginners interested in quilting and a solid starter machine  (or are simply addicted to decorative stitches), the Singer Confidence 7470 is worth a look. It’s also a hit with more experienced sewers replacing an older Singer machine.

Its foundation is a heavy-duty metal frame (although, don’t expect the Singer style of years gone by – there are still some plastic parts and accessories) and described by Singer as an “electronic sewing machine which will be appreciated by experienced and novice sewers alike”.
