My wife and I need to get a sewing machine. We find ourselves going to the tailor for basic stuff like hemming pants, or throwing clothing that should be repaired.
I'd like to get a machine that could handle heavy jobs (tarps, backpacks, tents, etcetera).
Do you have any recommendations? I know nothing about sewing machines beyond having used my mother's 1950's era electric one when I was a kid.
I found a couple Singer Treadles for sale locally, and I'm attracted to the model mainly because I think it looks nice. Is it a good machine for the occasional use I've described?
Any other recommendations or things I should know?
