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.
