In either caîse there are a îmnherof fic- ttilsto nirhc'r pu rchis- ntc iw SewNing machine. First categorize yourself as a sewer. Do you sew only to mend? Then you need a basic machine with straighit and zig-. zag stitches, in a portable case for easy storage or in a simple cabinet. (White mfodels 944, 966, E Ina Elnita). If you sew occasionally or are strictly a beginner sewer, a machine in the niid-range price group will offer you desirable features: zigzag and stretch stitches, free amni, built-in automnatic buttoiîholes. (White 999, 977, Elna 38, 59, Stella). A more experienced and ad- vanced sewer would be in- terested in an« electronic machine with variable speed, a "ariety of decorative as well as Ûne- stretch and zigzag stitches, plus features that would simplify and make sewing more effort- less. (White 4000, Elna Air Electronic). Whatever category you fit into here are some buying hints to help you: E shop at an .estàblished dealer supplied by'a reputable manufacturer who can back, the product warranty.- E buy from a.dealer who of- fers after-purchase lessons to help you get to know and oper- ate your machine fully and properly.

Take along scraps of your own fabric to test-sew. E- if looking for a fla&bd, ask if it will fit your present cabin- et. If considering a free-arm, check to be sure the flatbed ex-ý tension is secure and sturdy. E check the motor for run-on. Does it stop when you remove your foot from the foot pedal, or gradually slow down? Is it noisy? Does it vibrate a lot?
