Compact Sewing Machine Buying Guide
If you have a limited amount of space, or just want an extra sewing machine for your RV or vacation home, a compact sewing machine can be a great addition. While smaller sewing machines might not have the power or the capability of a full-sized machine, thanks to advances in technology these machines are able to accomplish a wide variety of jobs.
Many of us love our sewing machines. We love how strong and powerful they are, and how they are quickly able to help us mend our denim pants, do dress hems, or create any project we can think of for our grandchildren.
But if you have a limited amount of space or have to travel, having a compact sewing machine is a great alternative. When buying one of these machines you should look for the same features you would look for if you were shopping for on any regular sewing machine.
Most of these machines are available for less than $500, and since you want this machine to be transportable, weight should be one of your primary buying factors. While you want a machine that is light enough to easily carry, you also want one that is heavy enough that won’t be pulled around easily as you pull fabric through the arm.
You should also realize that these later machines are designed to work with lighter materials and are not designed to do upholstery or heavy denims.
The power source also a big concern as well. If at all possible to avoid battery powered compact sewing machines because these often lack the power necessary even for the most basic sewing jobs. Look for one that has a long cord to reach almost any outlet.
If you take your time when you go shopping for a new compact sewing machine you should be able to find one that meets your needs. But member don’t expect it to do the job of your full-size sewing machine.

Can you recommend a sewing machine for me?
I'm a beginner; no quilting, no embroidery. I'd prefer something not too compact, and not made in China. Any recommendations? Thank you.
Where would you like to have your sewing machine made? Even the highly touted Bernina is having their mechanical (opposed to computorized) machines built in China.
The factory works with each company's instructions and sometimes their own employees.
I like the Singer 1507 for a small, easy to use machine. It costs around $100 and has a presser foot pressure adjustment for sewing lightweight to heavy weigh fabrics; adjustable stitch width and length; straight, zig-zag, blind-hem and scallop stitch as well as settings for making buttonholes and sewing on a button. Not sure where it is made as the tag has Singer USA on it, but it is a great machine for basic sewing.
My other machines are ten times more expensive and have tags that indicate made in Japan, Taiwan or Switzerland.
Visit sewing machine dealers and try out what they have to offer. You do not have to buy the first one you try. Give some thought to what you want to sew before selecting the machine.
New machines all have basically the same warranty: first 90 days free parts and labor; 25 years on the head, you pay the labor; 2 - 5 years for certain components, you pay the labor.
Used machines do not have a manufacturer's warranty, but the sewing machine dealer may include their own for 30 days or so.
