Same confusions as you had...
Whether to buy Usha Janome Allure or Singer 8280...

I enquired about the sewing machines in India during vacation and now I am in saudi arabia. yet to see the sewing machine models here. Hope I will find out the shop soon...

Hi Pinky Joseph,

Thanks for your comments..

I guess in India we dont have any other brand than Singer.

Wish you good luck for finding a shop out there in Saudi Arabia... I guess you can shop online too... You can also go to through the link which one of the IL's have posted in this thread. That would help in comparison.

Regards,
Anu

hi all,
This thread interested me because I love machine embroidery ( check my thread in hobbies section) & stitching. so I thought of putting forward my ideas too.
when i was going to buy a zig zag machine 10 yrs ago I too made many enquiries,I asked two persons to finalise my choice. One was learning at a class from singer machine but had bought a Usha machine while the other was a lecturer teaching fashion designing. both had recomended usha wonder stitch over singer. today after ten years I know I haven't made any mistake in believing them. That's my humble experience.
If you want to do embroidery then I would recomend that you go in for machine with internal motors. you cant get the quality finish for embroidery if you have peddaling type as you tend to change the speed after sometime as you tire & this may have an impact on your stiches.
