The whole setup
Machine plus kit equals total
Three tiers, each showing the machine and the kit it still needs. Every figure below comes live from Amazon at the moment you loaded this page — last verified January 1, 1970. Where a live figure is not available you will see “Check price” instead of a number, including in the totals. We do not print a price we cannot verify.
The mending tier
Hems, repairs, a curtain, a costume once a year. The cheapest honest way to find out whether you enjoy sewing.

No total shown. At least one line above has no live price right now, and a total assembled from a remembered number would be a number you might act on. Check each price and add them.
The first-real-machine tier
Where most first-time buyers should land: keeps the automatic threader, the drop-in bobbin and a one-step buttonhole.

Why every line says “check price” today: our live pricing feed is not returning figures for this site yet, so rather than show you numbers from memory we show you none. Every button still takes you straight to the product on Amazon, where the price is the real one. How we handle prices.
