If you are a beginner sewer it is best to choose a machine that you can grow into as your skills develop so that your purchase lasts a long time. If you are an experienced sewer think about the things you wish your current sewing machine would do or where it is holding you back.
Think about which sewing projects you like to work on and whether you might like to branch out in the future.
If you are a dressmaker a range of buttonholes and needle positions plus options for additional sewing machine feet can be incredibly useful.
