I’ve worked with those really old, big, and clunky sewing machines when I was about 8-13 years old under my mom’s and grandmother’s supervision. Now I’m 25, and recently decided I needed a sewing machine of my own. I don’t have room for any big machine similar to what I was used to, so I thought a small portable one should do the job for me.

I got a really cheap $30 set from Walgreens, and that stopped working 5 minutes out of the box. Figured I ought to be a little more serious, so I opted to spend more than I really wanted to get this. I am very glad that I did.

I just got it today. The manual is super easy to understand. I’d never threaded a machine on my own before, but there is even a numbered guide right on the machine to tell you where the top thread goes. The guide on the machine plus the very simple instructions in the manual made threading the thing a breeze.

With the foot pedal, it’s fairly easy to control the speed. I’ve read some reviews on similar machines (a Brother one, in particular, that I was also looking at) with complaints of it going from 0 to 100 with nothing in between. Not so with this one.

It’s really quiet. It’s a little awkward having the top spool horizontal, but it works. It’s a little heavier than I expected, but that makes it more sturdy. It has a little storage compartment that’s really convenient and a nice way to keep everything in one place. It has a little lever for reverse sewing, which I really like. Comes with a neat little cover that has a slot at the top for the carrying handle.

Overall, it is a very straightforward machine that works great, is simple to use and easy to understand.

This is a good all-purpose, low-cost household machine, although as a long-time Singer fan and former Singer sewing machine dealer, I don’t care for the vertical bobbin design. It is compact and comes with it’s own sturdy, attractive cover that allows you to carry the machine by its handle, so don’t bother ordering a hard-shell case for it. The free-arm and accessory compartment designs are carefully thought out.

Love this little machine. Easy to thread. Runs smoothly. Helpful note: When you put in the bobbin, make it sorta “click” to stay in place.

I’m just starting out again after being away from (basic) self-taught sewing, so I explored low and high end sewing machines on the net and in generic stores … decided to settle for a low end, basic machine. It meets my needs for basic sewing. Every sewing machine I explored was made in China regardless of brand (sad). The machine arrived promptly, was easy to set up, and is light weight. Years ago on the “old” portable machines, I routinely had “tension” problems; so far, the bobbin, tension, etc., have been operating well. I find the needle a bit awkward to thread, but hope practice helps. This machine has lots of features, so I don’t regret starting on the low end.

I purchased this a few months ago and been using it regularly. Occasionaly I get problems like the needle getting stuck or thread getting all messed under the fabric, sometimes frustrating. This sewing machine is for basic sewing only, it gives you problems once your fabric is thicker than one fold of it. I don’t think this model will provide long-term service.
