Usha Janome Sewing Machines - VS Sewing Machines

Best sewing machines you can buy right now – including Singer, Janome and Brother

IF THE Great British Sewing Bee has you dreaming of becoming a seamstress or crafter, then you’ll want to invest in a suitable machine to fire your passion.

The best sewing machines will save you hours of blood, sweat and tears, whether you’re looking to whip up a chair cover, hem a curtain or make something more intricate - but which one is best to buy?
If you’re just starting out, then a basic electric model should suit you well, whereas more experienced sewers may want to invest in a computerised design that’s a little more complex.
Beginners should look for a machine that offers a variety of lengths of straight stitch, zigzag stitches and a buttonhole - the rest are just additional extras.
And cost-wise, you shouldn’t need to spend over £200 for that first basic model, either.
So, before you pick up your fabric and start designing your new summer dress, take a moment to read through our pick of the best sewing machines to buy right now…

1. Best Sewing Machine For Beginners

Never let it be said we’re swayed by a machine’s good looks, ahem. This model’s Peppermint colour didn’t tempt us at all – nope, not a bit.
In all seriousness, though, this easy-to-use machine is great for beginners, with 14 stitch options, front-loading bobbin and free arm, and 4-step buttonhole function. It comes with everything you’d expect, from spare bobbins and needles, to a dust jacket, foot control darning plate and seam ripper.
And quite frankly, its retro good looks are really just a bonus – as is the fact that it also comes in pink and white!

2. Best Heavy Duty Sewing Machine

This robust machine does exactly what it says on the tin and its heavy-duty claim is well backed up.
Great for thicker fabrics like leather and denim, this sturdy beast probably isn’t the one for you if you want a machine for small repair work. However, if you’re after something for home furnishings and larger projects, then you won’t be disappointed. It’s pretty quick too, sewing up to 1100 stitches a minute – so perhaps not the first choice for beginners.
A top-load drop-in bobbin and large stitch selection seal the deal.

3. Best Intermediate Sewing Machine

If you’re somewhere in between a beginner and intermediate sewer, then we’ve got just the machine for you.
Durable and lightweight, this model features 20 built-in stitches, an automatic one-step buttonhole and twin needle sewing capacity. Not only that, but it also boasts an automatic needle threader, thread cutter, a darning plate for freehand embroidery, and a free arm for circular sewing, plus lots of handy accessories.
A good all-rounder at a won’t-break-the-bank price.

4. Best Machine For Professionals

You’ll feel the pinch of your purse strings with this one, and we fully admit it’s a pricey outlay, but if you’re after a computerised model that’s easy to use and will last a lifetime, then you won’t go far wrong with the Bernina B38.
Favoured by many a professional, the LCD display is simple to navigate and there’s every stitching function you could wish for, including a handy memory function.
It handles every fabric, from silk to denim, with ease and many would say it's hard to rival.

5. Best Sewing Machine: Smart Choice

Lightweight, portable and bursting at the seams (excuse the pun) with fabulous features to satisfy the most crafty of sewers, the FS70s is a computerised design with 70 built-in stitches.
Its slide speed control means you don’t need to operate it via a foot control, while the wide table means you can crack on with large projects.
Price-wise, it’s not the cheapest, nor the most expensive, but what it is is a top-rated model that gives you plenty of bang for your buck.

6. Most Simple Sewing Machine

You may be wondering if we chose this model purely for its pretty pink casing, but the answer to your question would be no - that’s just an added bonus.
What we have chosen it for is its simplicity and ease of use. With 23 built-in stitches, easy threading and stitch selection, it has an extra high presser foot lift and an automatic 4-step buttonhole. It’s not the most advanced machine, but nor is it the most expensive and we’d recommend it if you’re looking for a starter model that doesn’t bamboozle you with advanced tech features.
