Customer Review: If this sews like a dream, it is a dream that you are going to wake up from.
Summary: 2 Stars
When I first bought this machine, I was impressed by how smooth it was able to sew articles. That lasted about a week, and then it strings periodically clogged around the blobbin. This is probably one of the most poorly manufactored machines on the market. There are a number of issues that make it a poor purchase.
+ There is no way to adjust the bobbin tension without taking off the entire case. The machine is clearly intended to be left as is, the problem is that with repeated use the tension on the bobbin must be readjusted and there is no convent way to do that. In fact, you are in for an extremely irritating experience if you use this machine frequently.
+ There is something wrong with the tension mechanism. The tension on this machine is inconsistent. Sometimes the thread is so taught that is snaps and other times the machine sews flawlessly.
+ The thread holder is placed at the wrong angle so that thread repeated gets wrapped up around the spindle. The result is that your thread snaps.
+ It does not have the power to sew through multiple layers of fabric so you will not be able to make a coat of any quality. The power that comes out of this machine is not enough to do much of anything except make really simple kids cloths, and not even that if you are making jackets. The threads are often loose despite tension readjustments because it sews so inconsistantly. What you get is items of embarrassingly low quality.
Basically, if you are a sewer it seems that the market is set up in such a way that you will not be able to make it profitable. The machines are just too expensive. If you think about it, you can get a fantastic laptop for a better deal that you can a sewing machine which isn't exactly complicated machinery. This machine is no different from what you would get at K-Mart or Walmart for $100. It works no longer and leaves you with the same problem that you had before you bought it; you will be unable to find a reasonably priced machine that is reliable enough to make sewing an affordable hobby or skill that you can rely on. Try to find something better than this. You will be so much happier that you spent more money and got a decent machine than tried this bargain sewer which cannot handle daily use.
