after having used both these little machines on projects, i just have to say that all beginners should learn on a vibrating shuttle machine. Rotary machines will constantly give you tension issues, but vibrating shuttle machines do not give a flying fuck what your tension is, 80% of the time they figure it out. i will it be loud? yes. will it be slow? probably. will it create the most amazing straight stitch you've ever seen? always. honestly don't even want to bother with any other kind of straight stitch machine, tbh. i feel like we evolved backwards on this.

#they aren't particularly powerful so maybe on thick denims or whatever they aren't great #but man #all the time I've spent dicking around with tension problems on rotary machines and with these things you sit down and sew and they WORK #no questions no complaints #so! If you're a beginner and have no need for a zig zag stitch #get yourself one of these old baddies #they have no reverse but whatever #i just do 30 stitches per inch and it locks it just fine
