Portable Manual Sewing Machine Set 25x15.5x3.5cm Hand Sewing Machine for Clothing, Silk, Hem, Curtain, Fabric

I love making costumes, I seem to have a mild sewing machine phobia (I've tried several machines but I always get anxious about it), so I bought this hoping it could help with the simple stuff at least (and last minute costume issues that inevitably happen) I figured out how to thread this little hand machine by watching a few YouTube videos. Once I removed the bottom cover to see how it's supposed to work, I realized I had been going too fast (not a full depress, not a full release) and had been pulling too much when feeding the fabric. A little more patience Really paid off! I suspect the needle that comes with it isn't the best quality & may even be a bit dull, but I'm jazzed it's replaceable and it's a standard sewing machine needle size, so it'll be easy to find/buy replacements. I'm hoping a sharper needle will also increase its ease of use 🤞 But even if it doesn't, it works much better than I expected for something so cheap & so small (aka portable).

Broken. Doesn’t work. Buy from someone else. The pieces just fell apart. Not worth the money. Should’ve checked this sooner to get my money back. Instructions aren’t clear had to use YouTube and chat gpt just to figure out it was a faulty product.

Good

The item arrived in a nice package. I read reviews and it seemed as though this is one of those "hit and miss" items. It may work, or not. I saw a couple of youtube videos showing the simplicity of the item and how to use it. I was hopeful. I bought the item to do the hem on my uniform pants. The material is less thick than those of an average denim Jean pant. I tested the product out on a cloth towel. It worked well. I was "hopeful." I got my pants out and got everything ready. I started working on the hem and it was initially working well, the stitching was great. However, it would not last. As I continued, on the same pant leg, the machine started getting stuck and the metal part began coming loose and detaching itself from the plastic housing. The stitching began coming loose and it would not catch properly on the pant leg. I could not finish one pant leg. The machine came apart. I ended up using fabric tape and ironed the hem. It took me much less time doing that. However, it's a less permanent option. I would advise to consider something else.

Very handy

It’s honestly not hard to use. I give it 4 stars because even though it does get the job done sometimes the thread won’t catch at the bottom hook and will skip a stitch. I also don’t like how the plastic cover comes off to easily from the frame of the device.

This product does not work! When using very thin fabric, I tried to stitch two layers together with the sewing machine. The needle didn’t puncture the second layer reliably, and when it did, the machine didn’t catch the thread underneath to complete the stitch. The scissors were terrible! When I tried them, they were too dull to cut thread. Then due to a bad hinge, the blades could not be opened again. Trying to open the scissors again just bent the scissors at the hinge, totally wrecking the handle. The metal on the blade section was stronger than the handle section, so there was no way to avoid this. The hand sewing needles are okay, nothing special. They’re sharp enough for simple projects, but the eyes are a bit rough and could catch delicate fabrics very easily. The thread is pretty weak, i.e. it is easily frayed.
