Once you start that seemingly never-ending search, you’ll find that there’s so many different options, price ranges and features. Needless to say, it can be overwhelming! So, we’ve narrowed down the top brands and machines to help you find the best lightweight sewing machine for quilting.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather carry around a 10-12 lb. sewing machine from my car to my quilting class than a hefty 20 + lb. machine. Lightweight machines are easier to pack, easier to carry around and tend to take up less space than a regular, heavy duty machine. Just think about taking your machine out at your next class – you want something that is quick to set up and can be lifted easily from your bag to the table.
A heavy-duty machine is fine if you have a dedicated space in your home for your machine but if you don’t, you’ll want something that can be moved effortlessly from floor to table and is easy to store.
