View ProductHow We Chose Our Picks For Your First Machine
Millard Sewing has chosen the machines it sells based on 45+ years of repair and teaching experience. We have seen them all come through the doors for one reason or another. Some are built better than others, some are easier to use than others. We have weighed that along with how easy a manufacturer is to work with on warranty and parts and that is what has shaped the machines we offer to our clients.
This is a subset of machines that we feel are a particularly great place to start when choosing your first machine. If you are still confused, then we are always available to answer questions in store, via email, or phone. We want you sewing for years to come and the right start is the key to this being a long lasting journey for you.
