Sewing machines

The Singer "Simple" is a WORKHORSE and can be picked up on ebay often for around $50. I like them A LOT. because they are made for beginners they can take some real abuse (like repairing horse blankets, backpacks, etc) and still keep ticking and sewing good stitches. The higher end machines have panic attacks if they get close to canvas, LOL, and never sew right again.

Are the ones on Ebay new or used?

On ebay you will find a mix of new and used. Craigslist is the way to go PLUS you won't have to pay for postage!

I have the Singer "simple" I love it. I'm a basic sewer and don't need a lot of fancy stuff for now. Maybe never. Anyway I just need a machine that sews so I don't have to hand sew. Which I got used to. I really like my machine right now. If I want to go fancy, I can, otherwise the Simple is good enough for me.

Same here but not as many machines.....I have 1 Singer Serger, 1 Singer Quilters Confidence, 1 Brother that has 100+ stitches programmed into it and then a bottom of the line Brother that sews really good, and in a month or so I'll be getting either a Singer or Brother Embroidery machine.....this will give me a total of 5 (but I have gotton rid or 2 machines) or I would have 7. I have my quilting frame set up in my room and it looks like a studio. yippee
