 Great Value May 14, 2005
By Michael McRae
After considerable research, we decided to get this sewing machine for our 9-year old daughter. We feel this is the best low-cost sewing machine for the money. Although many of the components are plastic, the machine is sturdy and well made. It includes a foot-pedal, does not require batteries, and closely resembles the basic features and shape of a traditional $100+ sewing machine. I only give this item four stars because there is no light.
After helping our daughter select the proper thread and tension adjustment, she has made several hats, skirts, and so on. We have also found that no matter how cheap or expensive a sewing machine is, there are going to be problems if it is your first time at sewing. Many people don't realize that there is a fair amount of knowledge and skill required to make ANY sewing machine stitch properly. If you can't get your sewing machine to stitch properly it is most likely tension setting, thread selection, etc..

Hope this helps !

Very happy with this product Aug 24, 2005
By M. Smith
I bought this machine because I needed something to hem up some pants for my children and myself. I didn't have alot of money to spend on a full size sewing machine so I decided to purchase this one. It's great. It's so small so it doesn't take up alot of room in my little apartment. It's also very easy to use. I never used a sewing machine and with the easy to follow instructions, I caught on quickly. It hems up pants perfectly and I was able to hem a pair of jeans with no problems. It doesn't have a light but as long as you have enough light in the room you are working in it's OK. I haven't tried repairing anything yet but if it hems jeans, I am sure it will fix anything. I would recommend this to anyone who has never used a sewing machine and doesn't want to spend alot of money on one.

 Machine is temperamental but will work with some tweaking... Oct 13, 2005
By C. Thomas
I followed all of the instructions and, at first, could not get this machine to work in an acceptable manner. Frequently, the upper stitch would not connect with the lower (bobin) stitch. I tried various tension settings and checked all of the threading many times.
Then, I purchased a better thread for sewing machines and tried adjusting the tension settings again. I was finally able to get the product to sew correctly.
I would still have to say, this product is not for the faint of heart. But, it will work if you are tenacious!

 A LOT smaller than picture Mar 17, 2006
By P. C. Kilgo
I was disappointed with the size of the actual product because it was like a toy for my younger granddaughters. Kayla and Tarra are 13, and they love my sewing machine so I thought I would buy them one for their birthdays. I wish I had paid more attention to the actual measurements because I would not have made this purchase! They both had problems getting it to sew because the thing would not make a real stitch!

Broke Mar 20, 2006
By L. James
We bought three of these machines for a classroom quilt project. They were so poorly made that I am returning all three to buy ONE machine that costs a little more. You are much better off going with a more expensive machine- this one is very cheap in every sense of the word.
