As it sometimes happen, we see a piece of clothing which grabs our attention due to its material, texture or patters but for some reason it's the wrong size so we can't buy it, other times we might be a little short on the "money department" which makes it impossible to buy designer clothing. There seems to be an endless array of brands, multiplied by all the different models and features that are available.
People who are new to sewing will need to buy a book or two (or find them in the nearest library) and read up on the lingo and techniques. Think about your priority, do you want to stitch for yourself only or for your whole extended family? do you want the sewing machine only for mending or to do decorative stitches also? do you need to stitch heavy items like bedspread or slipcovers? Even for those sewing pros out there, a Bernina allows you to create more projects much faster.
Over the past two centuries many sewing machine companies were successful for a time before closing operations, making for the wide variety of machines to be found. With a sewing machine and a little patience you have full control on where the pockets go, what kind of buttons you use, and where the hemline stops. Either way, think about what you're planning to use the machine for, then choose accordingly.
Get some hands on experience. You just need to start, so get sewing!
