Interesting you say that about the gears as those machines you tout have
plastic gears.

I wish you luck.. Cheap, new, and quality... Don't think it can be
done at all.

Cheap machines are just that, cheap; And "new" cheap machines are
really cheap. They don't have good stitch quality, and won't hold
their tensions properly.

Good luck on finding something that meets your stringent criteria.

Are you saying there are no quality sewing machines below $200 for
basic sewing tasks?

No. But used is where you should be looking to maximize your purchasing
power. You can get a used, refurbished machine for under $200 USD that
will be *much* more than adequate to the basics.

Heck, I bought a 35 year-old Japanese industrial for a lot more than
what you're talking about, for my business, my bread-and-butter, and the
thing is a bomb-proof work horse.

Get off your butt and educate yourself. You're not going to get what
you're looking for at Walmart.
