I have carpal tunnel syndrome, that gets set off by the vibrations of my sewing machine.
Ive tried cushioned feet, pads etc but it still happens.

Does anyone know of a genuinely low vibration machine around the £100 ish mark?

I saw one that was £500 but cant afford that.

Any ideas?
Thanks :)

I apologise for the fact that this post doesn't actually answer our question. I've just spent around a quarter of an hour googling to see if I could find a suitable machine but, alas, without success. (I did find a review for the Singer 9020, which suggested that it might be suitable for people with carpal tunnel syndrome, but it seems to have been discontinued. I can't even find a secondhand one on eBay).

However, while searching for an answer, I came across this post, which might provide you with a few tips as to how to approach your sewing. I hope that it might help but, once again, I apologise for it not really being the answer that you're seeking here:

Ah thanks Buen! I appreciate your effort, and ive saved the link & i'm going to test out all the ideas in it.
i might ask on some sewing groups if anyone has the one you listed that theyd like to sell.
i will also msg the manufacturer to see if they have another model thats built the same etc
Joko. I can’t help at all with low vibration machine other than would it work placing your machine on a square of thick sheepskin?
I did have, rather than surgery for carpal tunnel problems I was having, great success with acupuncture. Just a thought.
