Me sirve para lo que la quería remendar ropa

This machine is worth every penny. Sure it's missing a lot of functions found on traditional machines, but it's 25-30% of the price.

I bought this machine to fix the seams on 2 pairs of polyester uniform pants I bought. The pants came with very loose seams. The stitches were about 5mm long and loose enough to see through the seam when pulled. I managed to seal the seams on both pairs with a straight stitch. The stitches were about 2-3mm long and tight enough that you can't separate the material now.

Now, since the machine doesn't even have a reverse function. You have to get creative when locking your stitch. Which for me, using a surgeons knot, wasn't difficult. I had access to both sides of the stitch.

I have grown up with short, mini sessions on sewing, but always with my grandmother's guidance and assistance, never on my own. I wanted to start sewing on my own so I could mend torn clothes and hopefully move on to bigger projects. My boyfriend bought this as an early Christmas present for me, and I think it's utterly adorable.

The machine is very compact and light weight. It comes with a black bag that everything (including the little machinel can fit in. I would personally be careful in transporting it. Since I haven't had it very long, I can't atest for the durability of the bag or machine as of yet, but it's a nice concept of your going on a trip to be able to bring everything you need for sewing. It can either be plugged in or used with 4 AA batteries (not included).

I would definitely read through the manual before using the machine because it is slightly different than any I have ever used before. The instructions are a bit confusing just because it assumes you have to thread the whole machine, but mine already came set up. The bottom and side bobbins were already in placed and placed up. This video really helped me get a good understanding of the machine: https://youtu.be/97vTdCxBaQ0. The lady knows her stuff and has other helpful videos in specific relation to this machine. These videos honestly helped me more than the instructions- I am a visual learner, though.

It came with everything depicted on the box: a sewing table/stand, power cord, foot pedal, extra bobbins, thread, scissors, etc. Even though the quality isn't the greatest, it will do it job.. and hey remember, it's for beginners, so the better threads should be saved for when you really get the hang of it. There are some limitations on fabrics you can use with this machine (i.e. wool and silk are not good to use). It's super small and so are the needles. Certain fabrics just arent going to work for this. This is covered in the manual.

There are a couple things I wish were different. I'm really sad this machine can't go in reverse. It's not the end of the world; it's just a bit more work. The power cord is nice, I just wish it was a few inches longer. This is mainly because of the set up of my room, though, not because the cord is considerablyshort. The little light is nice, but it isn't too helpful. It's more of a soft glow, which is easy on the eyes, but it's not very great in really being able to see well for threading or sewing without an additional light source.

Overall, I am giving this 5 stars. I think it's a great beginners sewing machine. It seems like it's going to be a good lesson in grasping the basics on one's own. I went ahead and included a picture if a pillow I made on my first go at the machine. It's made from an old shirt I had...and it came out really lumpy. Lol that was more a problem with me stuffing it, not the machine itself. The little sewing machine did a great job with it's stitches. After several nights of use, the pillow is still lumpy but definitely holding strong.

Easy to use and setup but if your doing a hem or curtain edge it would work fine. Not a wide opening for sewing what you want but good for right down the seam

Ok, I do not sew. But I needed this to sew up holes in my favorite blanket without concern of it looking pretty. I don't know how precise it is, because I am NOT a sewer. But it did it's job of seeing up holes in order to simply keep the blanket from tearing more. It's lightweight and easy to thread (which is saying a lot bc I am totally clueless about that). The instructions were easy to follow. I used the side spool because when I tried to use the top spool (or maybe it's called a bobbin), the spool of thread kept falling off. But it came with plenty of thread for me to use with the side bobbin thing. I did not use the pedal and instead just turned it on and let it rip. It's a great value.
