Compact Sewing Machine Buying Guide
If you have a limited amount of space, or just want an extra sewing machine for your RV or vacation home, a compact sewing machine can be a great addition. While smaller sewing machines might not have the power or the capability of a full-sized machine, thanks to advances in technology these machines are able to accomplish a wide variety of jobs.
Many of us love our sewing machines. We love how strong and powerful they are, and how they are quickly able to help us mend our denim pants, do dress hems, or create any project we can think of for our grandchildren.
But if you have a limited amount of space or have to travel, having a compact sewing machine is a great alternative. When buying one of these machines you should look for the same features you would look for if you were shopping for on any regular sewing machine.
Most of these machines are available for less than $500, and since you want this machine to be transportable, weight should be one of your primary buying factors. While you want a machine that is light enough to easily carry, you also want one that is heavy enough that won’t be pulled around easily as you pull fabric through the arm.
You should also realize that these later machines are designed to work with lighter materials and are not designed to do upholstery or heavy denims.
The power source also a big concern as well. If at all possible to avoid battery powered compact sewing machines because these often lack the power necessary even for the most basic sewing jobs. Look for one that has a long cord to reach almost any outlet.
If you take your time when you go shopping for a new compact sewing machine you should be able to find one that meets your needs. But member don’t expect it to do the job of your full-size sewing machine.

Do Compact Flourescent Light Bulbs (CFL) power surge when first turned on?
I have heard it is better to use a standard halogen light bulb if you turn on and off a light frequently because CFL's have a power-spike when they first turn on. I know they use less watts overall during prolonged use. But do they have a power surge when 1st turned on?
They do, but all electrical appliances do: note the other answers here, for the most part. But that does not make any impact on their efficiency. You are by far better ahead replacing EVERY bulb in your house with a cf.
Halogens are neat, but not energy efficient.
