I put off sewing for years because I was so intimidated and thought I needed the most expensive and fancy equipment. Turns out, you don't. All you need is a desire to learn, basic sewing supplies, and determination.
This is the second sewing machine I have ever owned. My absolute favorite. It can easily handle fabric bulk and sews over zippers so smoothly. Any problem I have ever come across has been an easy fix. It's a popular machine for a reason because it is...

One of my favorite quilting rulers.
