I have the sparrow 30 and have nothing but good to say about it.
I think the simpler one starts about $150, and many shops are carrying it.
Patti, or Kooklabell,
I have not seen the Eversewn machines in action, but have read many reviews of them, and everything I have read has been positive.
Last week I looked at that Brother at Costco, and was not favorably impressed. My sister-in-law has one of those and said she had a lot of trouble with it when crossing a seam on pillowcases. Remember when groups of people were making pillowcases for worthy causes?
I have a friend who is very compulsive and will buy a WalMart Brother, then get bored with it and let it go, saying she is no longer interested in sewing.. Later she will buy another WalMart special. I have worked on several of her sewing machines and noticed the tension is not forgiving.
I am sure you will want to test drive whatever you buy, so please let us know what machine you settle on.
