MINI Sewing Machine from AMAZON! Demo! Is it worth it?🤔

[@christinapeter1103]

Actually you can put any spool on top... the little thing on top pops out. Watch other videos on here. (Edit... looks like you figured that out after) overall I think the threading takes maybe a minute more than a standard machine. It's true it doesn't have a back stitch but all you have to do is put in just a few stitches stop, lift the foot, and turn your fabric and go over the area again. Obviously there will be compromises for such a small machine vs a big one. But also a few perks in my opinion. And guys this isn't for heavy duty fabrics or stretchy fabrics. Great for paper and medium weight non stretchy fabrics. This takes practice! Really just for non serious sewers or for people with lack of space. I don't sew often nor did I want to lug out a bigger machine. This is quick to pull out. So you gotta decide if pros and cons fit your situation.

I have one I just bought it when you get the hang of it it really is amazing for a beginner I make clothes with it even if it isn’t the best I like it because it’s affordable and it works also if you just started learning on it and the bobbin stitch is loose try the nifty nine method and just keep on trying my stitches are now perfect :)

You can put the spool of thread on the pole at the top. Instead of complaining, please watch Ooni crafts channel, she gives very good instructions. I follow her and have had no problems.

I purchased this to use with sewing paper crafts, like around cards and embellishments. I have a Brothers sewing machine for fabric. This is great for paper crafting because it runs on batteries and cord power. Taking it to craft get together parties.

[@dimitpap2947]

Very good video with details. I don't know about its durability but for so little money definitely worth it for doing simple things.

[@ralfstrandmann4263]

@@Ilyxoxo3jjj obviously it is already in landfill somewhere. This machine is not meant for sewing. You would be better off and faster with hand sewing. I suggest buy a second hand, there are many decent ones in that price range. Lets not support rubbish companies like this one. Peace.

That was really helpful. Never knew winding the bobbin would be a skillset.

[@dawebster3670]

I bought one of these as my first sewing machine in highschool but it also didn't back stitch! I kept wondering why everything I made was falling apart! But I was able to teach myself how to sew with it, so worth the price! But now I'm going to buy a little kid's one to use exclusively for paper stitching. That way I don't have to use my bulky more expensive sewing machine

[@Craftpurge]

DA Webster 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻perfect! Ahha yep the backstitch not there is a painn😂😭

[@sweet158]

I have one. I recommend it if you are not a sewest, and just need a cheap machine that can do simple stitches (hem pants or make masks etc) . As for back stitch, i leave the needle in the fabric, lift presser foot, turn the fabric around, sew, the turn it around again.

[@sweetwaterscards]

I wanted to get one but looking at the comments below the majority says it’s a crappy machine. I am still not sure what to get Toni. 🥺

[@Craftpurge]

SweetWatersCards save some money and get a nicer version if u can

[@vlg8482]

I have no idea how to sew but bought one from create and craft. Isolation impulse buying.

I saw many other reviews of people custom fit suits with this machine and it worked. It also go on top of 4 layers of jeans. Many people are very very satisfied. It’s cheap and good to start

Ilene Mack ill be curious how long this thing lasts😂

[@auntigingy8666]

Pretty cool either way. It works in a pinch and it will help anyone sew small alterations with thin fabrics. Who needs the back stitch when you honestly could back stitch it yourself by hand.

Mrs Izzy's Craft Studio oh yay glad i could help! Its def a lot of tight spots to feed thread😫🙈

[@craftypenpalmoma]

Oh I wish I'd known you would looking into this. I have one like this. The one you have is kind of a redone version of the one I have. Its called a pixie singer craft machine. Its purple. Tiny just like yours. BUT it DOES have 9 diff stitch options, it DOES have reverse/back stitch option. And mine also takes a spool of thread of any size. Im happy to show you if you want to see it. Mine does wind the bobbin on one side and i have to move it to get thread all over. I didn't get a sewing pedal with mine tho. It has plug holes for it. But I use batteries.

[@Craftpurge]

Craftypenpalmoma ! Yours sounds way better hahahah

[@craftypenpalmoma]

@Kirsty Biggs I looked before for the exact one I have. It seems I have the first edition and the updated version is called a pixie singer plus It looks like Tonis.

[@craftypenpalmoma]

@Kirsty Biggs mine was actually gifted to me so I'm not sure. If you Google the name of it, it'll come up for different buying options. Also, I did see a small one like these at Wal-Mart for 15.88 That may be what you need if you want to start small.

I was having the same problem with the tension rod until my mom borrowed the machine one day and told me that u WEREN'T supposed to wrap it around as I had been doing. She also said you can probably adjust the tension rod by spinning it clockwise or counter clock wise, she wasn't sure.

What kind of batteries does it use? If it used 18650s it would be a big plus! Especially since the only advantage of this is it is tiny and if it would work with rechargeable batteries it might be worth it if I bought direct from China off Aliexpress or something.

I have a very good machine but no room for it, I guess this will do for now. I learned on treadle machines that only had one stitch, I am used to turning to create a back stitch.

[@ToninFightsEntropy]

At 6 minutes I just couldn't follow anything after because you completely skipped over all the complicated bit around the needle, as far as what it is, why is there a second bobbin etc.. is it just where you store a spare? But then why does that bit spin? My machine does not have that slot like yours, and nowhere else I can see.. if you explained why it was there I may have been able to figure out how to do it.

The things you have to put the thread through (1, 3, 5 specifically) look the same as we had on our super old sewing machine. you didnt actually have to thread anything through tho. they are shaped like keyrings, so all you have to do is push the thread in at the right angle. i wish i could explain it better... we dont have that machine anymore but if theyre the same im sure someone can figure it out.
