It really depends on what type of sewing you want to get back into.

 

Occasional outfits, alterations and repairs would only need a basic machine. 

 

I can't offer any suggestions as to what to buy. 

 

I have been sewing and quilting for 50+ years and have only ever used and owned Kenmores.  Sears stopped selling/making them many years ago.  I hope the one I own now lasts as long as the one before because I have no idea what I would buy. 

 

 

@CelticCrafter  I just wanted to let you know that Sears still makes replacement parts and accessories for their older Kenmores.  My Kenmore is 30 years old and I recently purchased a walking foot for my specific machine from their website.

@CelticCrafterFYI Janome made those old Kenmores.  I didn't know that until I was talking to a Janome rep at a sewing expo.

@brandiwine

Wow, I didn't know that.  Maybe that's why my 30 year old Kenmore is still going strong.
