Help me choose: Juki fz1800 vs Brother jv1400
I’m a total beginner and this would be my first machine. My late grandmother had an Elna sewing machine but it has a complicated pedal that I cannot find online so I decided to buy a second-hand machine instead. Brother JV1400 was my initial choice worth Php 5300 ($90.19) but my mom saw a Juki fz1800 being sold for worth Php 3700 (62.92).
In the caption, the Brother has been used only twice and the seller decided to sell due to the owner not pursuing the course for which she needed a sewing machine for. As for the Juki one, I don’t know how heavily used it is but the seller have demonstration videos and it is working well. I’m torn between the two.
I like that Brother has an LED light and it looks more beginner-friendly, but I read that Juki is better for heavy fabrics and has higher quality stitches though I do not know what makes a stich be of lesser or higher quality.
For the projects that I want to make, I’m actually not sure yet because I want to try many things. What I have in mind are dresses, embroidered bags, denim bags, stuffed toys. I’m particularly excited about making a fabric doll house purse and a fabric booklet. Maybe in the future I’ll do more intricate things so I’m hoping for a machine that is versatile and durable - something I can use for detailing but can also handle heavy fabrics like denim. Help me choose pls. Thank you
