Any recommendations for a basic beginner sewing machine? I just want to do things like hem pants, mend a backpack strap, maybe dart a shirt. It doesn't have to be super cheap, but I probably don't need anything fancy or with a lot of features.

Thanks everyone. Very good information. I am tempted to go vintage, as I like mid-century stuff generally and I'm not bad at working on small mechanical things, but I know zero about how a sewing machine works so maybe I should go with something that's likely to work right off the bat. So it seems like these machines around $300 are pretty basic but decent? I'm not gonna lie I'm kind of drawn to the black Janome just because it's HEAVY DUTY  and has an ALL METAL BODY  but maybe that stuff isn't very important... Any opinions on these?https://www.amazon.com/Juki-HZL-LB5...customerReviews https://www.kenssewingcenter.com/janome-hd1000-be-heavy-duty-black-edition-sewing-machine-1.html https://www.sewingmachinesplus.com/bl-zeal.php

there wolf posted:I think all those machines are good options but the black Janomi looks pretty sweet; stuff like the removable arm, needle threader, and other stitch patterns are nice perks that make it worth getting a modern machine. Heavy machines are long-lasting machines (its why there's so many cast-iron ones still being used) so a metal body is a good thing. Thanks! The HD1000 was sold out by the time I went back to buy it so I went for the 3000 for a little more money.
