A Sewing Machine for the Bride and Groom

One of our customer's husbands bought a sewing machine for his wife last Christmas. The wife was in recently and had just one complaint; she couldn't use her gift because her husband was using it all the time. Every house needs a sewing machine if only to make repairs to those last minute catastrophes---when a button pops off or a seam rips. And if you're going to a wedding (or baby)  shower this summer why not by pass that extra toaster (that's sure to be a duplicate or triplicate) and give something that's sure to be an original gift---something that will come in handy for years to come---a sewing machine.

We have many good, beginning sewing machines in stock and they all come with free classes---convenient times for the bride and groom to come in and learn how to sew a button or seam. Here are a few models that we recommend:

There are really nice Singer Sewing Machines starting as low as $99. A sturdy frame made of metal, with a free arm, and three needle positions the Singer 8280 is a good, basic beginning sewing model that will perform most of the basic tasks. And priced at around $99 this sewing machine would provide the bride and groom with a machine to handle those emergency repairs.

Another great basic model is the Singer Talent 3323. This machine has a heavy duty metal frame and some special stitches and also comes with a free accessory pack that includes an even feed foot so that even heavy or slippery fabrics can be sewn evenly through the machine---a great tool for stitching up those jeans or delicate items.

For those couples that may wish to sew home décor, fashion, or even add part time income to the household, consider the Singer 9960. The Singer 9960 has all the modern features and is the best Singer regular sewing model. With 600 stitches, 25 needle positions for accurate sewing, a wide array of accessories, this sewing machine will provide a lifetime of great use. It's the sewing machine of choice that our staff takes home. And at around just $499 it's an affordable gift that will keep on giving every year the couple enjoys together.

From our Husqvarna Viking line we have some exciting choices too. For instance we have the handy, portable H|Class 100Q. This Sewing Machine is full of Husqvarna Viking features like 20 built in stitches, drop feed, adjustable presser foot pressure for heavy projects, and needle up and down. This compact machine stores well to be available whenever it's needed.

 Or give the happy couple to be a vote of confidence with an Anniversary model. The 140C is an electronic model with 145 stitches, and the exclusive Husqvarna Viking Sewing Advisor built right into the machine. The Sewing Advisor is just like having your own personal sewing expert available to show you the proper settings, feet, and accessories for your project. This model was designed to celebrate Husqvarna Viking's 140th anniversary of helping home sewers create heirlooms. What a wonderful gift to give for a couple starting off a new life together!

 And finally, there are some really spectacular embroidery machines in the Husqvarna Viking line. The Husqvarna Viking Topaz, for example, has won the Consumers Digest Best Buy Award once again for quality and value. If you can afford to spend a bit more on that special couple "to be" consider a sewing machine that is sure to dazzle and a gift that will really stand out in the crowd. But, most importantly your gift will provide the young couple a tool to begin a future together.

Husqvarna Viking Topaz--- a Consumers Digest Best Buy!
No matter which machine you give, when you give the gift of a sewing machine you're giving a tool to build a future: future home, future family, to sew and create heirlooms to pass down to the next generation.

Tiny Touches from the Bride

We went net combing to try to uncover some great and unique gifts from the bride to all those who help make her day special:

**Wouldn't these sleep masks be original gifts for bridesmaids and groomsmen alike? See the sewing center for the how to's and design software for these great masks.

**You just can't go wrong with a special clutch or purse for those bridesmaids. Why not embroider each with a name or monogram to make it personal for your special gals? A couple of the patterns that I like are here and here.

**Then don't forget those groomsmen with a wallet. A monogram would look great on this pattern also.

**Don't forget the moms either; they'll need a special kit to get through the day. Why not fill this special bag with all the essentials they will need: hankie for those tears, aspirin, mints, sewing kit, a lip gloss, maybe even a tiny snack.

**Another idea I love are these beautiful fabric callas. Maybe give as mementos to all the guests or just the Grandma's?

**And, finally, I just love this ring bearer's pillow. So delicately beautiful!

Here's hoping your day is wonderful!

 May thy life be long and happy,
Thy cares and sorrows few;
And the many friends around thee
Prove faithful, fond and true.
May your voyage through life be as happy and as free
As the dancing waves on the deep blue sea
