I was told by a friend that works at Wal-Mart that they have had so many returns of their cheap machines due to breakage or malfunctioning that she couldn't even count them all. Another friend in sewing machine sales tells me those machines are made with all plastic parts and are fine for an occasional sewer but not for any regular sewing. I would watch for a good used machine. Check with a sewing machine dealer for trade-ins. They always clean and refurbish them before selling. A dealer can also recommend the right one for you based on what you can afford.
