We only recommend sewing machines that we know sew well with both
stretch fabrics and normal fabrics.
These are the sewing machines we recommend for sewing dancewear.
To sew stretch fabrics successfully, some sewing machine accessories
and parts may need to be changed. If you’re unsure, we highly recommend
attending our basics sewing course to understand what you need.
