Barbie Lightweight Portable Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this at a local store for $20. It seemed cute, so I bought it.
My daughter was so excited to open the box! Last night, when we did, I realized what a piece of junk it was. It only sews one stitch length, so don't bother sewing anything but your basic cotton calico type fabrics (and it has trouble sewing through 4 layers, so don't think for a minute you're actually going to hem over a seam), it has no zig-zag, so don't plan on washing anything your child sews (the material will unravel) and it only speed control it has is low or high (the low speed could be scary for beginning adults, even) The presser foot has no pressure control, just on or off. The thread breaks constantly, the tension doesn't really adjust and the presser foot is so low in th "up" position that it's difficult to get the fabric under it.
I am returning it today.
Don't waste your $40, it's not even worth $20... I am highly considering getting an inexpensive full size machine instead.

Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We received this little sewing machine yesterday, and I'm delighted with it! I was able to quickly mend a damaged quilt and it sewed through all of the layers without trouble.
The design is just like a large machine, with the same thread path, and with care, it sews a simple straight stitch just fine! If the thread breaks, check the tension, and make sure the presser foot is down when you are sewing, just like on a large machine. It has features that I didn't expect, such as the ability to take full size spools of thread, as well as bobbins, and it even has a bobbin winder! It runs on either 4 AA batteries or an included DC adapter. Since it's made of plastic, and not as sturdy as my full sized machine, I plan to treat it with extra care so it will last.
Excellent for quick mending.

The machine's user-friendly design offers a top drop-in bobbin for easy threading, automatic thread rewind, a simple on/off control button, and an over-sized button for setting the speed from low to high.

Singer Chain Stitch Sewing Machine Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This machine does not work. I will be returning it to find a better "first" machine for my daughter. The stitiches do not hold, every instruction was followed to the letter. It is not worth even 4 cents, much less 14 dollars. I would have paid more for something that acutally works. I'll keep looking

Singer LockStitch 2000 Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a horrible introduction to sewing! It is impossible to thread and keep threaded - basically it embodies everything that is difficult about sewing with NONE of the fun! I wish we had put the money toward an adult sewing machine because while I dont mind helping her, she definitely loses interest watching me try to thread it over and over! Dont buy this!

Barbie Lightweight/Portable Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great 1st sewing machine for the serious child sewer in your family. It is made by the same company that makes Kenmore sewing machines. I learned this when I called the company for a replacement needle and found out that is uses a regular sewing machine needle so it's easy to replace. You can't beat the price for the value on this sewing machine!

Singer Chainstitch Sewing Machine, Battery Operated Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Should have known better, at this price you can't expect a solid piece of equipment. Almost impossible to thread the needle. The needle threader broke immediately. The chain stitch unravels almost as soon as you sew something. Wish I had done some research instead of making an impulse buy for the holidays.
