Before going to the Sewing equipment store for the future assistant, with which you have to get to know and make friends for many years, it is worth making a plan of action.
1. Decide the sum that you are willing to pay for a sewing girlfriend.
2. In the range of highlighted media, see the models, read their characteristics and reviews.
3. Determine for yourself what you want to sew on this machine, with what tissues mostly planning to work.
4. Take pieces of different types of fabrics and test the typewriter on them right in the store.
5. Even in the simplest model, there must be the following functions: automatic sweeping of the loop, the pressure regulator of the foot on the fabric, speed adjustment.
6. When testing the typewriter, first of all, check the flatness of the lines - we put a simple rag and sew, without directing and without holding the fabric with your hands. The machine must sew directly. There should be no effect that the fabric takes to the side.
7. Try to sweep the loop. If there is a loop with the eye, select it and see how the machine copes with it.
8. To test the knitwear, besides a piece of fabric, be sure to make a needle for knitwear with you. Only so you can check whether the selected knitwear model sews.
9. Pay attention to the wrong out of all the sewing operations that you have completed during testing.
10. Ask sellers with the presence of service centers and the possibility of acquiring spare parts in case of such a need.
Machine warranty should be at least a year.
If you are satisfied with the test results, everyone else can you check at home after purchase.
