Following is our list of the best sewing machines for beginners. In creating our list we considered ease of use, consumer ratings, pros & cons, specifications, machine features, and weight. Our list of the top sewing machines for beginners is not dominated by any particular brand and includes machines manufactured by Brother, Janome and Singer.
Many of these beginner sewing machines have a limited number of features and stitches, and are fairly lightweight. Some also have very good manuals and easy-to-follow instructions (but not all).
You can see our choices from #1 to #10 in the table below:
