SEWING MACHINES I OWN

I have 3 Baby Lock sewing machines. 

  1. Baby Lock Jubilant.
    1. COST: $
    2. This is a great machine for piecing. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the machine I will share next, but I love it! When I am chain piecing, this is what I use.
  2. Crescendo
    1. Cost: $$$
    2. This machine is amazing! It has a large throat space, sews smoothly, has a laser that helps me get perfect lines, and is just everything I ever wanted in a machine. 
  3. Sashiko
    1. Cost: $$
    2. This is a specialty machine. It does not do your piecing, and is known for only doing one stitch – the Sashiko stitch. This mimics the hand quilted look and that’s exactly why I love it and bought it. You get the hand quilted look without all the work. This is my favorite toy machine, as I like to call it.
