found these listings on a local marketplace. The Janome FD216 is barely used and goes for $175, and the Singer prelude 8280 is $94, completely new. I've heard that the latter is a great machine but doesn't do well on thick fabrics, which is a problem for me because I plan on making quite a few denim/layered pieces. The FD216 I've heard is a lifetime all-rounder, but it's also like double the price.
I used to sew on a Juki (don't remember the exact model) before my mom gave it away. This is my first time buying my own sewing machine and I want it to be a good investment. Please help
