I've never really sewn, but as I get into doing more weaving on my rigid heddle loom, I find I have the need for a sewing machine to finish ends and do hems. I was thinking of just going out and getting a small, inexpensive machine, but thought I'd see if anyone here would recommend a certain brand or that I should look for a specific function/feature. I know I need a zig-zag stitch and I think it would be helpful to look a machine that'll accomodate very thick fabrics (as my rigid heddle stuff tends to be bulky) - anything else I should consider?
Thank you!
