I haven't used my sewing machine in years, it's in the loft and was given to me second-hand about 30 years ago so would like to invest in a new one.  I would like to make my own curtains, cushions, and do some light upholstery. There are so many machines to choose from these days that I find it quite mind boggling. Can anyone recommend a machine which would suit my requirements. What machines are you using and how are you finding them for this type of sewing? I would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks.
