Sewing at home is not as popular today as it was in previous decades, but many households across the US and the world still find a use for a sewing machine on a regular basis. From mending your favorite pieces, through decorating home items like pillowcases and tablecloths, to sewing your original clothes, you can tackle any project when you have a reliable model. Sewing machines are no longer considered a luxury, and nearly everyone can buy one.
The main problem most people come across is choosing the right model for themselves. The sewing machine market is vast and saturated. You can find all kinds of different models, from simple and affordable, to feature-rich and quite expensive.

It’s not easy to navigate the abundant marketplace, and even professional tailors can get confused by the numerous manufacturers, and the ever-developing features and specifications. That’s where we step in. At Sewing Mag, our goal is to deliver the most comprehensive and unbiased sewing machine intel. We do that because of customers like you: people who are passionate about creating, decorating and expressing their unique personalities through a craft almost as old as mankind.
Getting started with sewing is exciting, but it can also be intimidating. This rings especially true for people who wish to invest in their first sewing machine.
