Portable Sewing Machine for Beginners, Mini Sewing Machine Built-in Light, 12 Stitches, High & Low Speeds, Foot Pedal, Reverse Sewing & 42-Piece Kit for Adults, Home, Travel, and Craft Projects

Im rather new to sewing but wanted something for small simple jobs like hemming pants as my wife is pretty short. My 17yr old daughter likes crafting and has played around with it as well. Overall has handled all the little stuff i have thrown at it without any problems.

I ordered this for my daughter who knows how to sew but no long takes on any big jobs outside of fixing holes in clothes. It’s very handy because she no longer has to bring the items needing repair to the sewing room at our house but can do the work at her home. The machine is very small making it easy to store. I wish it came with some sort of a cover, hard or soft, but that was easy to remedy. She just sewed one up with her machine. It comes threaded so you can take right off and get to work! The threading process is clearly described and easy to follow. The tension on the stitching is decent. It is a loud machine when stitching but nothing too annoying. The foot pedal is tiny. For the price, it is a good option.

My mom taught me to sew on her sewing machine many years ago. At the time my mom used her sewing machine to make homemade clothing for my sister and I, and once I learned to sew, I enjoyed using it for making homemade doll clothes.Years later, my mom gave me that sewing machine when she got a new one.Since then I used it for making clothing from patterns, but infrequently. I was never really one to make buttonholes or even use a zigzag stitch, but mainly used my sewing machine for making curtains and drapery, and for doing repairs.Several years ago the motor on that sewing machine burned out and since then I have been making repairs by hand, but have missed having a sewing machine, so I was happy to have the opportunity to try out this sewing machine. I didn't have high expectations for it, but figured it would be useful for repairs. However, I am pleasantly surprised by how well it works for my basic sewing needs.I really like how lightweight this machine is. I kept my old machine in its case when I wasn't using it, and had to take it out of the closet and set it up when I wanted to use it, which was a chore because of how heavy that machine was. This machine is so lightweight that it is no trouble to transport from place to place.It goes easily through a variety of fabrics from lighter to heavier weight.The sound is louder than my old machine. Also, the power pedal is rather small, but works fine.This machine is ideal for teaching a young person to sew. I would have been thrilled to have had my own personal sewing machine when I learned to sew.It is also perfect for anyone who, like me, needs a basic sewing machine for repairs and simple sewing projects.I am happy to have this sewing machine, and recommend it!

Arrived broken, I ordered it twice, both returned

Not sure why it has so many good reviews. Maybe I got a defective one as the stitches kept bunching up at the bottom, even after adjustments were done. Not strong enough forJeans fabric.

This is a fantastic little sewing machine for beginners. It has all the basic features you would need to start making or altering your clothes such as patterned sewing and even button hole making features. It's pretty lightweight yet sturdy enough to stay put on a counter. The kit it comes with is also the perfect started kit with all the different threads and tools you need. I just wish it came in a case with a cover since once you open the bag, it's not secured.The machine is on the louder side but is pretty powerful for it's size and can even sew through denim. It has a slow and fast speed as well as a push pedal. I think my biggest disappointment is the pedal and speed control. The machine can be used by flipping a switch up or down with automatically just starts sewing at that speed until it's flipped off. Alternatively, you can use the foot pedal to start/stop the machine. The foot pedal works well, but its super light and cheap feeling. It also doesn't sense pressure, it's just an on/off function. Can't expect too much from a low cost machine, but it's one thing i would have liked to see improved as a beginner needs MORE control than someone who is advanced.Other than that it has a ton of other small and standard features. Thread cutter built in works well. Bobbin wrapper built in. Light while the machine is plugged in. Hand controlled dial. Replaceable foot pedals. Etc.The instructions were also full of information on how to use the machine and help you get started. The diagrams can be a bit hard to follow in some spots, but it's certainly a great resource.Totally recommend for casual use or for beginners.
