 Great little mending machine! September 20, 2009

We received this little sewing machine yesterday, and I'm delighted with it! I was able to quickly mend a damaged quilt and it sewed through all of the layers without trouble.
The design is just like a large machine, with the same thread path, and with care, it sews a simple straight stitch just fine! If the thread breaks, check the tension, and make sure the presser foot is down when you are sewing, just like on a large machine. It has features that I didn't expect, such as the ability to take full size spools of thread, as well as bobbins, and it even has a bobbin winder! It runs on either 4 AA batteries or an included DC adapter. Since it's made of plastic, and not as sturdy as my full sized machine, I plan to treat it with extra care so it will last.
Excellent for quick mending.

I did have the string breaking problem at first. After checking the tension, I realized I was threading the needle from the wrong side. Since then, this tiny sewing machine has run perfectly. I am even amazed at how long the batteries last. I have made an entire dress, and mended a few other items and the little sewing machine is still going strong. I just love this baby sewing machine!!

I bought this machine as I have been teaching my Grand daughters to sew and wanted something that wasn't as intimidating as my machine. The first on to use it was the three year old (of course I helped). She made her first pillow and it was a wonderful experience. The slow fast button makes it easier for the little ones so whether it be the three year old or the 7 and 8 year old. All can create and have a great experience white doing so.

This machine isn't meant for "real adult heavy sewing". It's perfect for small jobs on fabric that isn't too heavy. I got it for my 7 year old daughter and she used it this morning for the first time. In less than 2 hours, she'd cut out and sewn a darling little tote bag. I drew chalk lines for where to cut on the fabric for her, and sewed the handles to the top after she'd sewn the handle seams. And, to attach the handles, it meant sewing through 7 layers of fabric and it did that without a whimper!
I even changed the thread with no problem before we started, using a regular size spool, so the thread would match the fabric.

Before I bought this little sewing machine, I read the reviews to see what the general opinion was. I decided $20.00 was worth the gamble, and I gotta say, I LOVE it! I don't know what other people are doing wrong(the ones who left bad reviews claiming their machine broke every 5 minutes, or whatever), but I'm making a denim quilt, and have to sew together up to 4 layers of denim at a time, and I haven't had a single problem! I believe it's simply a matter of adjusting the tension and making sure the sewing machine is threaded correctly (Duh!). I say it was $20.00 well spent!
