What brands (Viking, Janome, Bernina, etc)?
Also, what essential features are a must-have on a sewing machine particularly for garment making?

Right now I have a Janome Sew Petite that I use for sewing everything. The bobbin thread gets messed up every 2 – 10 stitches, and I have to stop and fix it, making it impossible to sew with the bobbin plate cover on.
So, i decided that I really need a new machine. I [...]

Is leather a hard material to sew with? I’d like to make a leather bag. I probably wouldn’t use real leather. It would be a faux leather that I would make it out of. Is faux leather expensive? What kind of needle should I use? I have a Janome Magnolia machine. I think Magnolia is [...]

I have gone through 2 needles but they both broke from sewing. Is it the way I put the needle in or should I get the machine repaired?

I have done a little rudimentary hand sewing way back in, 6th grade, even less on a machine. and I was bad at it. Except for hand sewing, my teacher once noted I had really nice stitches. Not that that means much.
Anyhow, now I’m in my 20s and REALLY want to learn to sew. [...]
