I have found small Singer machines on Target.com and Walmart.com for around 80 greenbacks. I don't need a very fancy machine, just one that works. So I could get a low-end one and be fine for the few things I wish to create.
Should I use my very old sewing machine ($50) or buy a new little one ($80)?
You'd be asking these questions, too, if you saw all the great non-homemade-looking sewing projects I've run across on Pinterest!
Here are a few:
Up-cycled t-shirts!
baby quilt LOVE
baby bubble skirt. adorbs.
retro style reversible pinafore. gah!

Ok, so this is my third and final attempt at posting my comment!
Go retro! It's tried and true, gives you an extra $30 upwards fabric and patterns (which are holy smokes spendy,try Oliver+S by the way) and you can google a manual. I have a cheap one that was my moms and parts are broken on it, like the little do hicky that holds the bobbin, yeah. My dad widdled some wood to fit in there, but I'm sure you can guess how well that's working.
Goog luck!
How about I let you use my Bernina and you make me that super cool quilt???
