Perfect Stitich Pro Hand Held Sewing Machine w/ Bobbin set Review

Perfect Stitich Pro Hand Held Sewing Machine w/ Bobbin set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this product in the hopes that it would help me fix my favorite shirt. As I started using it, however, I realized that it was not going to be acomplishable. I suppose that for ordinary purpases, it would wor fine, but I had a hole in the armpit of my shirt that I was trying to fix. The product didn't have enough space for me to fit the fabric into to properly fix it, and the stitch type wasn't strong enough.I have given this product three stars because it will work for fine for ordinary things, but don't expect to be able to handle big jobs.

SINGER Pixie-Plus Sewing Machine Review

SINGER Pixie-Plus Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this machine a few weeks ago and while using it the thread started bunching and getting caught in the bobbin area, I unjammed and checked the tension, it would work for about 1/2 the side of one pant leg and then get bunched again. I have taken the bobbin feeder area apart checked the tension read the VERY SHORT manual that doesnt give you much help...and tried basically everything I can think of including changing the needle...still keeps doing it!! ... oh yeah and the bobbin winder worked once and now it doesnt ever switch the power from the sewing part to the winding the bobbin when you slide the winder over.. so the needle goes up and down and the bobbin stays perfectly still!! ..if anyone has any clues about how to fix these issues please let me know

Rex Mini Sewing Machine Review

Rex Mini Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a sewer for 30 years, some of that time professionally, I can say that this is a great product. No, it's not a regular sewing machine, but this little guy can certainly do your mending work. I bought this because my dogs tore some holes in their bed, and I didn't want to drag out the full size sewing machine. Well, it just chug-chug-chugged through four layers of fleece. Job done!
Also, this Amazon affiliate is top notch. I got it in three days, and they test it for you before they ship it, so what can you lose?

This product doesn't even deserve one star! I bought this for something simple and easy...what a BIG MISTAKE!! It's more trouble than it is worth! The hems don't hold up, it's a pain to finish a hem so it doesn't unthread on me, it's hard to control any real direction AND did I mention that it just plain SUCKS? I feel like I am all thumbs while trying to use it. It's now in the dumpster because I wouldn't even GIVE it away!!! Coming from the name Singer, I was a bit surprised of the bad quality :((

I bought this at target during thanksgiving 2010 for $59.99. I had my friend try out as she is more experienced in sewing. She said this was a good basic machine for my purposes which would be simple projects not requiring any fancy stitches.It has all the basic stitces and a zipper foot, a buttonhole foot, darning plate etc.
I tried out all the stitches and the stitch quality is good so far. I am going to keep this one.
If anything goes wrong I will post a review!

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

Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew and Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine
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.

Michley Lil' Sew & Sew LSS-202 Combo Mini Sewing Machine, Electrical Scissors and 42-Piece Sewing Kit Review

Michley Lil' Sew and Sew LSS-202 Combo Mini Sewing Machine, Electrical Scissors and 42-Piece Sewing Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have never used a sewing machine before, but i liked the idea that I can do alterations on my jeans and pants, do some patchwork on my old clothes, and do various jobs here and there.
So I bought this. I was debating between this package and the machine only unit, and decided to go for the package because it has the same sewing machine, plus sewing kit that is supposed to have everything that fits to this small machine, and a pair of electrical scissors!
I did calculations and the package would work much better if the scissors are worth buying. I gave it a try.
1. Sewing machine.
As a person who has never used a sewing machine, the machine looked little bit complicated (mind you that I am a software Engineer, and not afraid of using a machine for the first time) with lots of holes for threads. But the guide coming with the machine explains pretty much everything to get started with. I could get around with the guide. The problem was, though, the guide is in crude black and white print and it is hard to recognize the tiny holes in the pictures. And there's one picture while there are more than three ways to get the thread hooked up.
If each way has an accompanying picture in colors, it would have been very helpful.
It also comes with a small packet that contains a few thread rolls and needles.
2. Sewing kit
I haven't opened it yet, but the kit seems to contain the essential elements.
3. Electrical Scissors
So, here's my problem. I expected a lot about these scissors, because I thought the electrical scissors are a bit luxurious item. But they didn't work when I put two AA batteries into the slot. I tried a few different brands of batteries but they didn't work. It made the motor sound in the very beginning at first but that was it. There is no guideline so I don't even know how it is supposed to work. I am thinking about getting them replaced by calling the sewing machine company.
I will update this review once I figure these scissors out.
But I love this little sewing machine; and thinking I would have fun and save money as well!

Average Reviews:

I bought this for my daughter who wanted to learn how to sew. It's ok for this purpose, but don't count on it for great sewing. The speed is very slow, the pedal is cheap plastic and can break easily. The size is easy to handle for quick-fix sewing. The bobbin case is flimsy and comes dislodged easily.

I for once had no prior sewing teachings. I quickly learned to use this machine and it has made many beautiful projects. I recommend the Brother LS-30 to anyone wanting to learn to sew. Easy to thread, although it's reburbish I have no complaints.

Stitch to your heart's content with this Brother sewing machine. LS-30 full-size sewing machine has 22 stitch functions to satisfy your every stitching need. Sewing machine is easy to use and loaded with features. Built-in free arm for sewing cuffs and sleeves Super easy bobbin winding system. 3 needle position selector. Built-in sewing light. Stitch length dial. Built-in accessory storage. Includes instruction book and foot pedal. What is Refurbished? When a product is refurbished, it is made to look like and operate as a brand new item should. Many times it is as simple as the box being opened by mistake or for quality checks. Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. Most of the time the only difference between new and refurbished is the brown box and the lower price, which is your gain as an educated consumer. We are so confident with the quality of our refurbished items that we offer a full 30 day return policy with every purchase, so buy with confidence!

Buttoneer Review

Buttoneer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The first Buttoneer that came out twenty years ago did a good job infastening buttons to shirts. The problem was that you could stab yourself with the sharp point. This"improved" version solves that but the plastic fasteners are too short to go through the fabric and attach the button.
A totally useless product that once was great!

This is a great sewing machine which was surprising considering how mini the thing is. I would say its a good purchase for a beginner (gift idea for children?) or for someone with sewing experience that needs something portable (battery operated).
The only negative thing I can say is that it won't do really thick materials because it won't fit under the arm. But since I didn't expect that considering the cost, I won't let it affect the 5-star rating.

Factory-Reconditioned Singer 2263.RF Simple 23-Stitch Mechanical Sewing Machine Review

Factory-Reconditioned Singer 2263.RF Simple 23-Stitch Mechanical Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bottom line, DO NOT PURCHASE SINGER MACHINES!!! This was given as a gift and it jams ALL the time!! I've done every adjustment suggested by singer and from experienced users. All have said that the new singers have so many problems, especially with jamming. We have yet to sew anything since we opened up the box, just google singer 2263 problems and you'll see for yourself... At the end of the day they should rename the company to wannabe singer. Truth of the matter is Singer went bankrupt and sold the company. So it's NOT the old school respectable and well built Singer our parents and grandparents grew up with. Below are some of the reviews on Walmarts site...
"this machine sews fine for about 3 inches until ALL OF A SUDDEN the fabric balls up underneath the fabric and the machine completely stops. I've tried pretty much everything and can't figure out how to make it work. i think it's the tension... but i thought this was a machine for BEGINNERS! i think it just wasn't built right because you can tell from looking at it that the parts don't align quite right.
this is NOT a machine for beginners... but from reading other reviews, it seems like even expert seamstresses can't fix the problem!"
"I bought this as a beginner sweing machine to learn to make a few summer dresses for my daughter. It worked fine the first day, and since then I have had nothing but problems. I have spent 2 days on this stupid machine trying to fix the tension and nothing works. PIECE.OF.JUNK. I wish I would have read the reviews first before impulse buying this Singer. If I could give this machine negative stars, I would. Now... To package it up and TAKE IT BACK!"
"UNBELIEVABLE!!
It looked good in the store and I have used Singer machines since the 1950s! I sew a lot and was trained by a master seamstress.
This machine tangled the threads and jammed within 2 hours out of the box. I had read the manual cover-to-cover and used the "trouble-shooting" page to try to fix it. then I thought, "WHY?!!" It wouldn't sew straight any more and had threads balled up under the fabric. Yuck! It is going back this afternoon!"

Handy Stitch Sewing Machine (As Seen On TV) Review

Handy Stitch Sewing Machine (As Seen On TV)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is one of those items that really is too good to be true. I've read reviews of people saying that it doesn't work because the stitching just pulls out and because it doesn't have a second bobbin underneath, but that actually isn't true. If you pull the tailend thread through the fabric, you can tie it off and it'll hold the stitching. And the thread actually loops onto a hook underneath, where you would expect a second bobbin to be, and that's how it makes stitches.
The REAL issue with this is that the thread often slips off the the hook in the middle of sewing and you have a bunch of loose stitches. When it doesn't slip, it's great! Too bad it doesn't ever NOT slip. I managed to sew one seam of a dress I was making, the first seam, and after that it wouldn't sew without dropping stitches. Luckily I got this as a gift, and it has inspired me to start sewing, but now I need to get my hands on a actual machine that ACTUALLY sews. Don't waste your $10 + shipping on this!! Put it towards a real machine.
