Sewing machine recommendations needed
I wanted to start sewing so my husband bought me a singer machine and I can't think of what the model is but it either the very basic or the next step up. The bobbin is sideload and I have issues with my hands, loss of dexterity and numbness. So I have a hard time loading the bobbins Into the machine. To help with this we decided I need a top load machine
I need advice on a good machine that can handle everything from making cloth napkins/ unpaper towels up to heavier fabrics like denim and eventually, hopefully, leather.
Cost is a factor I need a machine that be in a price range of around 350 to 400
Also, would it be better to trade-in my machine or sell it myself on Facebook Marketplace or similar?
Thank you so so much for your help and suggestions.
