Default sewing machine!

Ok, so I'm wanting to start making my own clothes for Cici it looks so much fun and a lot cheaper than buying clothes ( well if I'm good at it ) anyway I'm wanting to purchase a sewing machine, but I'm quite short on money right now so I'm wanting a cheap one. This one is only £50! but is it good? will it be good for making little chihuahua clothes? I don't have a clue I don't know much about sewing machines, can anyone help?

here it is : Buy John Lewis Mini Sewing Machine, Fuchsia online at JohnLewis.com

Will this be your first time using a Sewing Machine?
Cos just the other day i was taking to a friend and she said if your a beginner I should get the one I use my feet to move the Sewing Machine. Cos if I use the automatic one I could hurt my fingers by mistake.

But its better to ask someone who does know about it more and I would also like to know. This forum always gets me to want to learn how to saw. hehe

I have been sewing since I was 16...and that was MANY moons ago....close to 41 infact... and I would use the machine with foot pedals... It doesn't have to be expensive to be a good machine, I bought mine from Walmart and love it....I also have a PFAFF HOBBYLOCK Serger(5 thread)... IMHO I would save up alittle and buy a better one than that Pink one... anything that describes itself as 'dinky' deserves to be looked over.... but that is just my opinion....you may buy it and LOVE it....

This is very interesting
I have sewn a good few clothes for princess but they have all been hand sewn so they don't look as good
I wanted to know about a good sewing machine too
