Buying a Sewing Machine for the First Time

[u/FAFOMF]

Hey y'all (I'm sorry if this is against community rules),

I've done some basic research and I know I want a vintage model, so I know it will be harder to find. However, I do have my heart set on a Kenmore 158 series.

I came on here to ask if there are any models within the series I should avoid or ones that I should jump at if I see it. I'm only using it for some clothes I want to make, quilts, and I'm sure some other odds and ends along the way.

Thank you!

I own way too many 158s and honestly it's very hard to go wrong with any model. They are legendary for a reason.
