The first steps in the sewing world

Your first sewing projects should not be too complicated, because especially in the beginning it is important that you have a sense of achievement and stay motivated. For your first sewing project, choose a nice cushion with an envelope closure and no zipper. A curtain or tablecloth with straight seams would also be a good idea, or a handy jute bag for on the go. If you’re even braver, you can venture into a cosmetic bag.

We don’t recommend starting with something difficult right away, but once you get into it, you’ll appreciate the mia500’s large stitch selection and 300 stitch variations. With the alphabet stitches you can embroider name tags or use one of the great decorative stitches. The choice of fabric is also important for beginners. For your first steps in the world of sewing, we recommend a simple cotton piece of fabric that you are guaranteed to have no problems with. You can save stretchy jersey or viscose that slips under your hand for later.

The mia500 is a digital sewing machine, that offers solid value for money.

Threading the needle is super easy

If you’re new to the practice, threading the thin thread into the tiny eye of the needle can be frustrating. The automatic needle threader prevents you from giving up in annoyance before you have even sewn your first seam. You can get started right away and complete your first sewing project.

A backlit LED display also ensures that you always have a good view of the stitch selection.
The automatic buttonhole function, which is very easy to use, will also serve you well.

Basic functions,
that make
your life easier

Another feature that you definitely don’t want to do without is the adjustable sewing speed, which can be controlled manually. For tying off the beginning and end of a seam, it’s important to have a reverse stitch switch that’s easy to reach so you don’t have to take your eyes off the sewing project and can stay focused. For great sewing results, it is important to work carefully and calmly. Sewing threads that are not cut off and hanging around everywhere can really get in the way. The automatic thread cutter is your friend and helper, because it cuts off excess threads quickly and easily so that you can continue working in peace and quiet. With the help of the start-stop button on the front, you can easily stop and start sewing and sew around corners, for example

twin needlethe highlight

As soon as you have gained some sewing experience, the twin needle function is an absolute highlight. Usually, neatly sewed and professional-looking seams, especially on stretchy fabrics like jersey, require an expensive overlock machine. The twin needle creates a parallel seam for hems and ends with a zigzag seam on the back. You can achieve a similar result with the normal machine in no time at all and you can use it, for example, to sew T-shirts, beanies or even baby clothes that look like they were made by a professional.

A powerful motor
for thick fabrics

At some point you will no longer be satisfied with thin fabrics and you may want to shorten jeans that are too long, sew a great leather bag yourself or conjure up a canvas beach bag for your best friend. To do this, you need a sewing machine that you can rely on and that won’t suddenly get stuck. Such a mishap will certainly not happen to you with the GLAESER®home mia500, because the powerful motor ensures that your sewing machine does not let you down in the middle of a project. Even thick upholstery fabrics can be handled very well and there are no longer any limits to your imagination when sewing.

Easy to use

Which sewing machine is the right one is ultimately often a matter of taste, but there is no doubt about one point. It should be easy to use. You can’t waste your precious time trying to understand complicated functions. If things get difficult, you’ll be completely put off and lose interest in sewing.

How to find​ the perfect sewing machine for beginners

Does this situation sound familiar to you? You see a cool cloth bag at a friend’s house and ask her where you can buy it. “Sewed it myself,” she replies. “Great”, you think, “what do I do now?” But immediately afterwards you think to yourself: “I can do that too, it can’t be that difficult.” Excited you start looking for the tool that should bring you a little closer to the dream of the self-sewn bag. But soon the disillusionment sets in, because you can hardly believe your eyes and ask yourself: “How many different sewing machines are there? They all look the same.
