The Singer 7468 is not widely available but some sewing outlets do still have this model on hand. The stitch patterns and features are exactly the same as the 7469. The only differences between the two are the color accent on the front of the machines and the machine dimensions.
Singer no longer shows this as a current model on their website but it’s still a sewing machine worth considering if only for the price discount as compared to the 7469.

The Janome 8077 features and stitches might look awfully familiar and yet you’ll have a hard time finding anything out about this particular model from Janome. There’s no listing for it on their website and no manual available online. Why? Because it is exactly like the Janome Magnolia 7330 but without the pretty Magnolia graphics.
My guess is that this model was manufactured originally for another country or maybe it was a private label arrangement with some company at one point because Hancock Fabrics appears to have sold this machine for an extended period of time.

The Brother SQ9000 quilting sewing machine comes with an extra wide extension table and a number of quilting accessories.
This is exactly the same as the Brother XR9000 with a couple of major differences and identical to the newer SQ9050 (which comes with 20 more stitches).
Brother gave it a nice accent upgrade by applying the purple scroll splash across the front of the machine, threw in the quilting accessories (which previously had to be purchased separately) and gave it a nice, low price.

Singer 7258 Sewing MachineIf you’ve never used a sewing machine before, it can seem quite confusing. Taken step by step everything will gradually fall into place, and what at first seemed frightening can suddenly become quite simple. Starter sewing machines for beginners however, are best kept simple so that all aspects of the machine are fully understood before any project is undertaken.
Sewing machines have come a long way since their inception, and some of the technology incorporated in many machines today can be overwhelming. A conventional type of machine which is used mainly for stitching and repairing is a perfectly adequate machine for a beginner.
It’s important to consider from the start however, what the machine will eventually be required to do. Initially you’ll just learn how to use it, but what is your ultimate goal?
The Brother SE400 Computerized Embroidery Sewing Machine combines art, creativity, and technology to give beginners and experienced sewers a complete and total sewing package.
It does it all – mending, garment construction, embroidery, quilting, heirloom sewing, and craft sewing.
This is exactly the same as the Brother SE350 with one important upgrade – the addition of a USB port so that you can download designs and updates through your computer.
The Brother LX 3125 sewing machine is an excellent choice for beginners who want a basic, reliable machine for mending and household projects.
It’s lightweight, is extremely easy to operate and offers great value.
This is also a wonderful sewing machine to buy for kids because of the nice sized levers and simple controls.
