Mini Sewing Machine for Beginners, Portable Sewing Machine with 12 Stitches

I sold my Singer sewing machine, years ago, to downsize for moving and have regretted it almost immediately. I saw this mini sewing machine and had it in my cart for well over a month. When our daughter needed her new black jeans hemmed but didn't want them to "look homemade" I knew it was time.This little machine was a surprise especially for the price. It came with a foot petal, about 10-20 small thread rolls in varying colors with the same amount of metal bobbins to match. It also came with a plastic thimble, a very cheap pair of scissors and a really good seam ripper, a tape measure and extra needles. All for $35!My 2 major complaints are the thread kept breaking because its very cheap thread. So I had a roll of black thread and used that and was able to finish the task. The second complaint is the plug for the electricity is VERY short. Absolutely too short to reach the outlet on the baseboard. I had to use an extention cord. The only other thing is the foot pedal works very well but is very cheaply made so one must yreat with great care. The machine will, in the end, serve me well for hemming our pants/dresses and for simple craft projects but would not do well if one wanted to make your own clothes or large craft projects.

I was very excited purchasing this little machine. My regular machine is giving me problem. I decided to buy this little machine to see if I can do my project with it. I have followed all the instructions in the user manual. When I was ready to use it the darn machine started sewing on its own. I look all around the machine to see if there were an automatic option. There was none. Read the user manual 2 more times.I can’t believe I will have to put this in the, I bought this from Amazon!I can’t!May be a nice little sewing machine when it work but I’m the lucky one that got one defective. You get what you pay for!

This mini sewing machine is absolutely perfect for beginners! It’s lightweight, portable, and super easy to set up right out of the box. The dual speed feature is really helpful for learning, and the 12 built-in stitches give you plenty of options for different projects.

It’s also a great size for small spaces and easy to store. Overall, a fantastic little machine that’s reliable, beginner-friendly, and a great value. Highly recommend!

I recently bought this compact sewing machine, and I have to say, I’m quite impressed! It fits perfectly on my table without taking up too much space, which is a huge plus for my tiny craft area. Moving it around is a breeze, so I can easily take it out for quick stitching jobs anywhere in the house.One of the standout features is the 12 built-in stitch patterns. I love the variety it offers, from basic straight stitches to some fun decorative options. The dual speed control is great as well; it gives me the precision I need for working with both delicate fabrics and thicker materials.As a beginner, I really appreciated how easy this machine is to set up and use. The threading system was straightforward, and the instructions were clear. I also liked that it comes with a foot pedal, allowing me to sew hands-free while I maneuver my fabric. Plus, the built-in light is a nice touch—it makes it so much easier to see what I’m doing.The complete sewing kit that comes with it is fantastic, too! It had everything I needed to get started—bobbins, needles, thread, and even a measuring tape.

It’s user-friendly, efficient, and perfect for anyone looking to dive into sewing projects without the hassle.

Decent machine for a beginner, but it runs rough and sews slowly.

This is incredible, I meet my expectations.esThis is incredible, I meet my expectations. She is beautiful, small, you can take her wherever you want and, above all, she is very practical.

Ninonly Portable Electric Sewing Machine for Beginners and Those Who Need a Smaller, Lighter Machine - with 16 Stitches, a Foot Pad, Six! Feet, Including a Buttonhole Foot and a Two-sided Zipper Foot, and on and on, a lot for a beginner sewing machine for $50. I'd give it 4 stars because it doesn't have a self threader and because the diagram for threading is too small to read and leaves out some steps. If you are using quality thread, you can always put the thread in your mouth to flatten it and it will thread.The thread included is crap. A few spools of good, sewing machine quality thread would be better. Thread shouldn't shred as you sew or split when it is cut. So toss the thread and get something designed to be used on a sewing machine, but keep the metal bobbins. Coats & Clarks threaded immediately, with no difficulty.The basic design is pretty much like a Baby Lock Denim Pro, so things are in about the same place they'd be on a full-sized sewing machine. It easily holds up to 250-yard spools, but can handle 500 yd. if you're careful. I've been sewing most of my life, but needed a smaller, lighter machine, and this works.Notes: When winding bobbins, the directions say to move the bobbin winder left, but if you're sitting in front of the machine, move it right. Who winds a bobbin from the back? (See picture of woman "sewing" from the back of the machine...)Step 1: The upper tension pin/screw needs to have the thread fed through the rectangular opening next to it first. Then around the tension pin/screw. It took me several hours to find out why the thread kept bouncing out of the upper thread feed! and the diagram doesn't show it clearly unless you already know about it.Step 5: When threading the machine, you have to lower the needle to make room for your fingers to put the thread through the 2-hole device above the needle.Quilting with this machine means small projects with low-loft, polyester batting - totes, mug rugs, place mats, etc., NOT bed-size quilts with 1/2 " cotton batting.

The sewing machine isn't worth the purchase. I did maybe 1 project on it (sew some pants) and the needle kept unraveling and broke on me. Yes, I know it came with additional needles but there is no reason the needle should break from just one project. The videos they posted also isn't very helpful specifically the one showing how to thread the needle. I had to find a video on YouTube that was wayyyy more thorough than the sellers. Also when I did try to replace the needle tell me why the very "simple" screw wouldn't unscrew properly unless you had some kind of extra tool to help you unscrew it. The video they posted ALSO shows that it's a simple step to unscrew yet I was still having trouble. I'm very disappointed with this machine I would NOT RECOMMEND for anyone who is a beginner or expert.
