[quote=Anonymous]What kind of sewing is he interested in? Fashion? Cosplay costumes? Sewing upholstery for his truck or boat? Quilting? Leather goods? All of these can be done well with a basic older sewing machine. If it is for cosplay, he will likely be working with spandex and knit based fabrics, plus metallic and plastic coated fabrics. If he is working with knits or metallic fabrics, he needs to make sure he gets the correct needles, or it wont matter how nice or junky his machine is. The wrong needle for the fabric is often the main reason why people think their sewing machine is junk or broken. Ballpoint for anything knit or stretchy, and a tiny drop of silicone sewers aide oil on the needle for metallic fabrics.[/quote]
