My granddaughter turned 8. She loved this sewing machine as her gift. She has made dogs toys and I used it to sew a shirt. Great for a beginner!

Great!

I realize this was going to be on the rickety side , but I expected it to at least work. Maybe not A fancy double stitching, zig zag, button hole, write my name in calligraphy thread Or even go back wards . I did however, expect it to at least sew a single line.I hope you don't.I suppose it can be considered a "learning tool" in the sense that you can spend 5-6 hours repeatedly threading, adjusting tension, pulling knotted thread out of bobber area and many other troubles of sewing you may feel you need practice dealing with or learning.I'm not a stupid person. The machine is threaded correctly. It just cannot sew longer than a couple inches and it just quirks out. Besides thread breaking, tension issues causing loopy loose stitches, some how it actually rethreaded itself with the end of the long start I had. This will baffle me for ever.If sewing isn't your true objective. Unfortunately, mine was I was making my granddaughter a very simple pillowcase. This won't be for you. I could not complete it. I figure 3 days 4-6 hours every day trying to make the machine work, and it would, for 2-3 inches worth of sewing. Then, you get another 35 mins restringing the junk.So if you need a hard lesson with no reward on threading a machine then this is for you.The directions are clear.Except about the tension and Im sure that's where the issues lie.Personally, I'm going to enjoy putting this junk in to some sort of launching equipment and watch it smash to a million pieces.I suggest you spend 10 extra bucks and get something else. I'd ask for refund but I feel my 19 dollars would be better spent destroying the thing preventing someone else the aggravation and me relief from a seamstress rage.It did come with a selection of cheap thread.No hope there, I tried different thread as well.. Seriously, just buy something else.

I didn’t have a lot of confidence in this mini machine, but I didn’t want to spend a lot until I knew my granddaughter was serious about learning to sew. It’s easy to use and the stitches are perfect. One negative is the tension is very tight but if you try to loosen it, the stitches are off. I hope this machine holds up. Fingers crossed.

Purchased this for a preteen loved that every thing needed was included so I can only hope she falls in love with sewing

Sewing machine was well made and good quality. The finger guard is key. Would definitely recommend!

The top thread kept getting disconnected while my daughter is using it. Good for a little kid because it is more of a toy and for small projects. No other stitch pattern available.***UPDATE: used 3rd time to make a miniskirt. Needle broke, replaced it, but the machine will not work and not sewing anymore. You get what you paid for, 3 uses.

My 11 year old loves it and has been sewing anything and everything she can get her hands on. Have had 0 issues with it and still sewing 10 months later. Great value for the money.
