Hello everyone. Forgive me for intruding without invitation; I am thinking of buying a sewing machine and am in need of advice, this seems like a forum with many sewing experts.
I used to sew a lot but gave my sewing machine (an Elna) and other equipment away about 25 years ago and apart from the occasional button haven't done any sewing since. The Great British Sewing Bee has revived my interest in up-cycling second hand clothing but I don't know where to start.
Can anyone recommend a sewing machine or sewing machine brand for me to look into? I wouldn't be attempting anything ambitious, most likely just hems, darts and repairs.
