 Just what I needed. December 6, 2008

I look forward to using this little gem in France while visiting my son and his family. They don't have a sewing machine, and this will enable me to do the little mending jobs that keep piling up with three children in the house. If they like the idea, I may even leave it with them.

It works. My 10 year old loves it. The only possible safety issue is that it keeps sewing and does not stop when button is pressed. I would not recommend for children younger than 10 for safety reasons.

I bought this machine to do some simple pants hemming. The instructions on how to thread the bobbins and the needle were difficult to understand. Once I finally got everything threaded properly, all the machine did was jam. Every 2-3 stitches it would jam and I would have to pull the stitch out, re-thread the needle and start over just to have it jam again. I ended up hemming the pants by hand and it was easier and quicker than using this machine. I would not recommend it to anyone. Either do hand stitching or spend your money on a tailor!
Great little starter sewing machine September 30, 2008

This is a great little starter sewing machine. We got it to sew up little bandannas for our dogs, but I'm sure we'll use it for other things. I really like it, but I'll just say what's wrong with it.
First, the manual is written in broken English and is difficult to follow. It's not the best for learning how to use a sewing machine. We're going to be getting some help from friends who know how to do this better. Also, as another review mentions, it does not come with an AC adapter or batters (4xAA required). Really, however, it's perfect for what it's intended to do; 4 stars only because of these small faults. If I could give 4.5, I would.
On the good side, it comes pre-threaded, and TESTED - there's actually some cloth in the machine that has been sewed (presumably with an AC adapter in the factory). You can begin trying it immediately.
Great value for money! Very handy machine to have around! September 29, 2008

Portable, sews very well for small jobs.
BUT, please do not follow instructions given in the accompanying documentation fully: the manual says to thread through the spring loaded capstan at the top (for thread tension) a few times. Instead, just send the thread once or twice at the lowest position of the spring loaded capstan and see if you can manually pull the thread easily without a hitch. If you can pull manually, then you are set.
Rest of the instructions are fine.
The best mini, portable sewing machine ever for small jobs!
Would have been nice to include the power adapter, but for this price, I am asking too much! You can use any available general purpose power adapter for the same specifications (DC voltage and amp ratings!).
Update: Most people who gave a low rating for this product gave it because of the thread tension issues caused by following the instructions for this model - they all complain thread breaks etc. Read my review above and you have a great product. This product really deserves a 4.5 to 5 stars (only minor issue being this spring loaded capstan at the top).
