My sewing needs are just basic than basic. Backwards, forwards, maybe a little zigzag. And the single speed on this machine is perfect.The light tended to go on-off-on when first powered. Had me worried I overloaded a circuit or something. It's just a mediocre light.For my eyesight (or lack thereof) the needle threader was a must.The machine travels, but I put it on a silicone mat that is very flat and clingy. Helped a lot. The 5 pound light weight is a huge plus.First project was to sew together two somewhat heavy duty curtain panels. 6 layers of blackout fabric. 12 layers at the hems.I was able to cram one panel between the needle and wall of the machine reasonably easily. Just have to be extra careful fabric doesn't overlap under the needle. I used the second largest stitch, needle in the middle. It did a neat job.I needed a combination of YouTube startup video and the manual, because one or two parts are slightly different than the video. I was VERY slow and deliberate learning how to wind a bobbin and thread the machine. Helps to do it right.Got this for my 10 year old and it’s perfect for her beginner levelEasy to use this product is very good for quick fixes takes up no space nice to useThis sewing machine is exactly what it's supposed to be. It functions perfectly fine for small projects. I've read negative reviews about the foot pedal not having a speed control, and coming from someone who has been using sewing machines for 20+ years: it's not an issue. The only downfall of this little guy is there's not a whole lot of power. But if you're working with lightweight fabrics, you'll be just fine.En todo me resulto exelenteReally like it for my mending work, works well ?I like that it's easy to use but I hoped it was bigger than it is.Great product for beginners. It seems really slow to me, also can’t do on thick fabrics too.Muy fácil de usar, en la web puede uno encontrar videos de la marca para asesorarse en su uso; sirve muy bien para costuras sencillas y telas no tan gruesas, trae luz integrada, recomiendo comprar agujas de repuesto del #14.For $30 more I would have bought the regular full size machine, instead of this mickey mouse machine.Hard to work with the mini portable machines because of its size and light weight, my fingers cant get in there to do the work and the lightweight makes it move around the table. The finger guard made it even harder to work with until I temporary removed it.Okay if you only ever want to do very simple projects. But as a beginner it only took me three days to outgrow this machine, and I found I would have to spend more money to get additional features into my projects (e.g. it only comes with a standard foot whereas other sewing machines can come with buttonhole feet, narrow hem foot etc.). I found this machine jammed with a slightly thicker fabric. This machine also doesn't let you control the speed, stitch length, or width. I don't understand why it says 32 stitch applications but the dial only has ~10 stitch types. Basically it's a featureless machine.
