Sewing machine help

[Jayden2298]

I will be getting a new machine for Christams, and I need to send the one I want to my Dad. I want a basic, but sturdy machine (I am not getting t\rid of my old Kenmore though), as my Kenmore has no gthering sticthes or anything like that on it.

What would you ladies suggest in ways of one that should do well for me. I make my own basic garb, as well as quilt, I already have a serger. Also do some clothing and doll stuff.

Suggestions?

Find out if he has a pricerange first. Then walk into a sewing machine store or joanns or something and tell them what your range is and they will show you everything and try and sell you. I'd say since you are keeping the old one go for an embordery machine!!

(Especially since then I can ask you to emborider stuff for me rather than having to just sit on ideas untill I can afford one.)

The reason I want the new one is so I have stitches I need, like a long sticth for gathering, between $100 and $200 is where I am looking.
