The sewing machine that I use is the Singer HD-110 Heavy Duty. I've had it for several years and it has been a fabulous machine. It's a heavier machine with metal parts versus plastic and I've really put it to the test with the materials that I sew with it. (using the right needles also makes a difference)
I recently saw that urban outfitters had it available (I attached the link below)...you can also search other outlets and maybe do some price comparisons.

Hope this helps. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm for our show....sharing ideas is what it's all about!
Cheers to a very creative day, my friend!
