Tailors use sewing machines. Anyways, go find a local alterations person who seems to do good work, and pay them a few hundred bucks to teach you some basics. Hemming pants is easy; hemming suit jacket cuffs and taking in the waist are tricky; but it's all learn-able, and I regret not learning it myself when I had the chance several years back (just before an old guy who did great work retired).
