Singer 7258 - Among the finest Stitching Devices for novices

Have you at any time thought of taking on sewing? Do you think you're tired of coming home from purchasing trips sewing machine   let down that you just can't obtain just about anything suited? Exhausted after a visit to locate an outfit for my niece's wedding I purchased my self a Singer 7258 & haven't looked back since.

I can recall the days when I could go to any shop, try on something in my size & it would be a perfect fit. Now I admit a few years have passed & as is the unfortunate case for most women, despite taking regular exercise & having a busier life a few pounds have piled on.

No matter how much I searched, everything was too long, short, tight or baggy in the wrong places. Now I was never top of the class in nearly anything in the art & craft department at school, stitching was no exception. I recall just one attempt at making a dress left me with something I can only describe as fitting for a 10ft bean pole.

As you have probably gathered a stitching machine was not something that taken pride of place in the spare room. Until in desperation I started looking at dressmaking in a different light.

Once the decision had been made, I did a little research & came across the Singer 7258 sewing machine.

Here are some of your features I love

100 different stitch options Push button controls Top loading bobbin - a clear cover which helps prevent thread running out mid way through a seam. Automatic threading - even the needle 8 snap on presser feet - you can sew just about anything from a patchwork quilt to a blind hem

I found that many with the equipment in this price range didn't have as many accessories, making it necessary to buy feet that make adding zips & making blind hems separately.

On a personal note, this machine has proven to be one of the best stitching machines for beginners I could have asked for. There was an easy to follow instruction manual which made a quick reference guide whenever I faced a challenging problem, the seam ripper, screwdriver & brush were useful additions to my toolkit.

Once my confidence grew & I gained experience, I found that it was possible to take on more detailed projects & utilize some from the other accessories that came with the machine, without the expense of having to upgrade to another model.

A couple of years on from my niece's wedding, I have made a quilt cover for her baby son, curtains for my new household & a variety of outfits.
