Whether you’re a complete beginner or you’ve been sewing for decades, welcome. At Bamber Sewing Machines, we offer a carefully chosen range of sewing machines — and the advice to match.
Founded in 1946, our family business has always believed in service first, sales second. So if you’re looking for a sewing machine but aren’t sure where to begin, we’re here to help.
Which Sewing Machine is Right for You?
The answer depends on you — what you sew, how often, and what you’d like to achieve.
Here’s a quick guide:
🪡 For Beginners
Start with a machine that’s simple, reliable, and affordable. Look for:
- A handful of essential stitches
- Clear controls
- A reputation for reliability
Good examples: Janome 224A, Brother Innovis 15
🧵 For Everyday Sewing
If you sew regularly — for alterations, dressmaking, or crafting — you’ll want:
- A stronger motor
- More stitch options
- Possibly speed control and needle up/down
Popular choices: Janome 5060, Brother A50
🧷 For Advanced or Professional Use
You might need a machine that can handle layers, denim, or hours of daily use. You’ll benefit from:
- A metal chassis
- Higher stitch precision
- Knee lift, auto thread cutter, and a wide table
Top picks: Bernina 435, Brother NV1800Q , Janome Atelier 6
