Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SewPro SP-402 QuickStitch Sewing Machine
Customer Review: amazing little machine
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been sewing since I was a little girl - probably 10 or so and I am now 60!!! This machine reminded me of my first machine as a child......it stitches a nice stitch and is easy to thread and wind the bobbin. It does have some problems with the tension and they can be ordered this to make a lap quilt for my father for his 86th birthday - it worked amazingly well for a $35 sewing machine - it is a mending machine it says and did a nice job on a small project.....the instructional DVD was not needed by me and still was very informative and would be to someone who has never used a sewing machine......have already told many about the mighty little Sew Pro 402!!Customer Review: Getting it to work
Summary: 3 Stars
Got this for a 10-year-old, who is doing fine with it now that it seems to be working properly. (She is able to follow the instructions, thread the machine, etc.)
We had the same trouble as CK, after following all instructions and watching the instructional DVD. Several experienced sewers tried to tweak the machine, but it would work about every other time. Tried calling the toll-free support number, but could only leave messages. (I hope someone will call back.) Finally (so far) it seems that we might have been trying to feed the material under the needle too quickly. Once we learned to guide it very gently without rushing it, the machine seems to be working fine.
Customer Review: Ideal For Rocket Scientists With Perfect Eyesight
Summary: 1 Stars
What a shame that such a pathetic product is manufactured in this age of technology. First of all, sewing machines have included a little electric light since the 40's. With all of the intricacies of just threading this machine, a light should be required by law.
The instruction book, which was written with rocket scientists in mind, details "loop around at 3:00, then again at 6:00.." You should try to see the miniscule loop positions.
I received the machine today after a week of anticipation, spent 2-1/2 hours of diligently reading and following the instructions, and now I cannot wait until tomorrow to return it.
Customer Review: Burned out.
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this item fully understanding that it was a beginner's sewing machine. I know it's not the heavy duty kind with bells and whistles that costs a pretty penny. So when I tested the machine on the test material that comes with it I wasn't expecting it to be the only stitches I would get out the machine. When I lifted the foot and took the sample material out and placed my material in (cotton, not a heavy material) it didn't work. I checked the plug, nothing. It simply stopped working. I sent it back in about a month ago and just got it back today. It works now, but not a highly recommended product.Customer Review: Exactly what we wanted
Summary: 5 Stars
My nine year old daughter wanted a sewing machine and like many other things she wants I didn't want a big investment only to learn she's bored five minutes in...this machine works perfectly. I haven't sewed in years and I was so pleased the instructions for threading the spool and bobbin were very clear and concise. She has been able to use it with ease and we're having fun making clothes for her stuffed animals.
I highly recommend this item, we've had no problems with it whatsoever and is easy to use for young and old and really sew like a sewing machine.
