My Mom's is fantastic-- but super old... a Singer her Dad got for her when she was in high school!!! But it's nice, because, well, it's 45 years old and works like a charm, plus it is a piece of furniture really-- when not in use, it folds into a deck/ cabinet and when in use, it has its own fold out table.

I bought a small machine many years ago. It was an Elno. The best thing about it was that when it is not in use it was just a little box with eveything inside. No dust could get into it. Why did I buy that one? Because I remember my mothers machine which had a cloche type thing to close it for storage. But the cloche would never close properly or come loose as soon as you would touch tha machine. Remember a sawing machine is stored away more time than it will be used. Bernina, Elno, Singer are the classics.

I sew on an old mechanical machine. Singer is not good unless it is an old machine (pre-1970). The old ones never quit.

Mis-Cat is spot on about the type of stitches--straight and zig-zag with built in button hole is all you need. I do have an overlock machine (not in Qatar) and I found it good for some things, but frustrating for others. Those machines tend to be harder to thread, and the knife makes it so you can't correct mistakes as easily.

I'm not sure about the best brands in Qatar, but in the US, I'd stick to Bernina, Elna, and Janome.

I can design clothes, make patterns, cut and sew from the scratch... but i don’t do it in qatar... I have professional equipment in back home though. Juki single-stitch sewing machine, Juki 5-threads serger (in Europe they call overlock), machine for the button-holes and embroidery. The best brands are Juki, Singer, Brother.

Don't get suckered into buying one with thousands of different stitches, unless you are interested in doing appliques, all you need is a straight stitch and zig-zag stitch to start with as well as one that does automatic button holes, trust me it saves you a lot of head aches, in the long run. the other machine you might want to look at is an overlocker this gives you a more professional seam edge as opposed to a zig-zag stitch to finish of seam edges..
