Basically any standard model Singer or Brother can hem pants and do small projects.
I ended up getting a Refurbished Brother, the cheapest I could find, direct from Brother, on a slickdeal for $20. I repaired dozens of pairs of jeans and practiced on the most destroyed pieces of clothing first. Wearing these repaired pieces around the house and running errands also taught me what types of repairs and reinforcement were durable. Although I don't mind a worn-in look, many of my repairs are aesthetically discreet.. I also eventually pushed that machine's limits with heavy material that had to be advanced manually and messed up the timing of the foot and plunging parts - which turned out to be an easy fix once I got the courage to open up that part of the machine. I still use that machine, but there are certain repairs (deep inside a closed pants leg for example) that I physically can't work onto the bed of this machine. Those would require a specialized professional machine anyways, and so I still do some repairs by hand.
It's not too challenging to hem by hand. It helps to first iron the fold that you want to establish and to use clips to hold it. I will sometimes sew a straight line of thread, without knotting it, to pin the material and give me a visual guide before adding the actual stitches meant to hold the new hemline.

I'm 5'4" and my pants need a 27-28" inseam, but nobody makes them that short AND comfortable. I usually end up buying longer 30" inseams and just letting them bunch up at the bottom (which causes them to drag against the floor and wear).
I would love to learn how to hem them properly so I can buy any length inseam and make them fit me better.
