An awesome beginner sewing machine!!

Real Simple named the Baby Lock Zest the best budget sewing machine! See their thorough comments below and shop the Zest for a quality beginner-friendly machine that won't break the bank.

"Is it possible to get a great sewing machine on a budget? It is with the Baby Lock Zest. It took about two minutes to get it out of the box and ready to load the bobbin. The instructions were easy to understand and the illustrations were quite helpful, especially when transitioning between stitches and making other adjustments to tension and thread length.

At first, this machine looked a little too basic, but we quickly realized it had all the features we could possibly need for at-home sewing. Special features include buttonhole capability, a light, multiple speeds controlled by the foot pedal, a free arm, and a removable extension table. It even has accessory storage for three clear plastic bobbins, a seam ripper, a needle set, a sliding buttonhole foot, various feet, and a darning plate.

We found everything very easy to maneuver. In fact, by the time we were done with our initial tests with this machine, we felt more confident in our sewing skills.... Overall, this machine is simple and intuitive to use. It’s a great choice for novices who don’t want to break the bank or more advanced sewers who might want something to complement a serger or other more heavy-duty machines."
