Having recently picked up woodworking after building my own office desk, this hit rather close to home.

Tension. Always tension. My mom had the same battles. My aunt never had trouble.
I suspect that buying a new mid-grade machine or better from a reputable dealer is the secret. I’ve bought a couple of $50 used machines because I don’t want to spend 10 times that or more if it turns out that I’m not going to actually use it. I already do enough of that. 😀
Go find a sewing club and get their advice. That’s what I’m doing the next time the bug bites.
Since my last comment, I learned that my local library has a few machines and a serger that you can reserve time on. I think that is going to be how I avoid buying my own for a while, and possibly a social setting I may learn from others.
That sounds ideal. Machines that are mostly maintained by experienced people and a community to help you gain experience.
