The Singer Quantum Stylus 9960 has excellent specs, but for $449.00, it's not rated as Heavy Duty and its stitch quality could be better. Reportedly, a new Singer Model 9960 released in 2020 corrected issues that plagued the original machine. The original 9960 is out of production, making replacement parts difficult to find. The Brother CS6000i is now $210.00, but you can't go wrong with a machine that does so much. It delivers a huge amount of bang for the buck at all sewing skill levels. The Heavy Duty Singer 4452 is mechanical. I would buy its more versatile computerized version, Model 6800C, instead. It's around $399.00 at Joann's. All of the Heavy Duty Singers are said to be marginally better than the cheaper HD Brother machines. Janome sewing machines are great, but overpriced. No freebies from them. You pay for every stitch they make.

I'm a guy, not interested in sewing, but trying to determine which machine to purchase for my wife. And I must say, I actually enjoyed this vid. Good job, girl!

Then there was a conditioner called Mermade - OMG! It was low PH and sealed your hair UP! Discontinued! Then when I flat ironed my hair, I'd dab a little water and ProLine Hair Food on each section, which they still make but they messed up the formula. My hair was great. I'm natural now and have grey which altered my hair texture, don't have a good stylist nor the same products. But it's a fond memory! LOL

Thank you Lydia. I am a newbie at the age of 73 and choosing to sew simple and only sew for my granddaughter,

You’re the only channel that’s shows us a comparison chart of sewing machines. Others channels just talk. Thanks for the in-depth tutorials I have a clear idea of what I want to buy. Thanks

I work in construction - specifically, concrete form foundations. For a long time I've been wanting to learn how to make alterations - hem, take in waists, add pockets for tools for both pants and shirts. Because of the inspiration I've received from Lydia, I've finally started on the road to learn some of these skills ... starting with her recommendations for a sewing machine. I suspect I'm going to end up going further than alterations because sewing is both skill and art - offering the enjoyment and fulfillment of real accomplishment. I'm definitely a fan of Lydia!! God bless.

I splurged a bit on my first machine. I have sewn all my life with my grandma on her machines and such but now that she has moved away I took maybe a 5 year break and wanted to start again! I got a Juki Hzl-LB5100 and I love it! My local sewing shop where I bought it let me have an hour lesson on any questions about the machine and such. I don’t have use of my legs so I sew exclusively with the button controls a big part of choosing my machine.

Thank you for the video! I’m a professional sewer who just started in 2020. At first I bought the Singer 4432 just because it was so popular and it says “heavy duty”. But apparently it’s not really heavy duty since the body still made by plastics. I broke mine after 1 year due to my high intensity use, I brought it to the service center many times but no use. After that I bought an industrial sewing machine, and boy oh boy, my life pretty much changed 👍 So fast and so reliable. Will never go back to portable sewing machine 😂 (I still bought another janome portable solely for the zigzag and buttonhole function). Ps: a friend of mine own the Janome HD1000 and it’s very sturdy!! She often sews leather with it and it seems like it goes well. So I recommend that one if you’re looking for a heavy duty portable sewing machine!

My husband is stoked for me to make him costumes and clothes, this video was the most helpful thank you so much!

Thank you for this clear, informative video. When I started sewing for the first time in my life four years ago, I had no idea what features I should be looking for. This video would have been helpful. By googling I learned that there were mechanical and computerized machines, so that became my main criterion: no computer. Many appliances are now computerized and it is that part which breaks first and usually can't be fixed. I settled on an inexpensive Janome (model not sold in North America, I think) on which I learned to sew using KZread videos, and now I sew mostly on a Singer Featherweight and my late mother-in-law's heavier late '60s Janome. I am a 67 year old teacher and I now make most of the clothes I wear to school, as well as garments for my friends and family. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Very helpful and informative video. This will help me so much at work.

All the machines I have are hands me downs except one . My oldest one is actually from 1952 my grandfather bought it for my grandmother brand new with all the attachments.I even have the receipt where he did a payment plan for $357.56 which back then was a massive amount of money. But it’s lasted my grandmother used it my entire life and when she passed it was handed down to me and I love it.

This was a very informative video. I am looking to start up my own business, and this video helped me to narrow down my options significantly. I now know the machine that I want. Thank you so much for making this video.

I would consider an automatic thread cutter also . Singer quantum has that feature. After I saw the automatic thread cutter it is a must must for me . Saves a lot of thread and time. No hassle of making sure the tail is long enough before stitching .

This was great! I'm going to the Raleigh Sewing Expo next week to look at all of the machines. I used to sew patterns when I was 16 (20 years ago) but have moved so much I haven't since then.

I got my very first 1945 singer sewing machine from my employer. She gave it to me last 2015 since she's not using it anymore so I was more than happy. Compared to new sewing machines now, I still prefer iron cast sewing machines because they're heavy duty. I got myself a motorized iron cast sewing machine this year and I also loved it. You just really need to learn the skill of trouble shooting the basic problems in sewing like the tension in stitches which is really kind of annoying at first but if you get use to doing it everytime then it becomes very easy. I don't really care much about new versions of sewing machine these days but seriously, I prefer the classic iron cast sewing machines.
