Looking for a sewing machine to do patches on a cotton jacket.

[Request]

I have only ever hand sewed little jobs.

But I recently had the idea to start a project. I have a vintage cotton Ralph Lauren military, and I want to start adding patches to it, making it more my style. You know slowly over the years then hang it up once it’s “complete”

But I realize hand sewing would be a pain and probably not as high quality as I’d like. Thus I need a machine.

I heard the XM2701 is a good one, but im not sure if it’s “overkill” since I’ll really only use it for this jacket. But I want one that will last and not break during the project.

That I can eventually give away once I’m done with it and still be in a good condition.

Any suggestions?
