Musical - 4½ Inch Antique Portable Sewing Machine 'Buttons & Bows' Review

Musical - 4½ Inch Antique Portable Sewing Machine 'Buttons and Bows'

I bought this for my wife who is an avid seamstress. It turned out to be a nice little item that is exactly as described here. It plays a nice tune, Buttons and Bows, and has a semi-operating sewing machine that turns along with the tune. I did notice that the workmanship left a little to be desired. There were some minor scratches on the sewing machine and some of the screws that retain the music maker were over tightened and left an indentation in the wood. Not enough to really detract from the overall impression, but noticeable. Overall I give it four stars - a nice item, almost heirloom quality but for workmanship issues. Interestingly, the provider would not ship the item until I let them know that it was a music box and not a working sewing machine! Whatever! I like it. My wife likes it. You will like it too.

The product came with oil still on it. The pictures in the guide booklet were washed white so it was hard to tell what i needed to do, what each thing was for (which it didnt even say), and how to thread the thing. One good thing about it is it came threaded. I never got to use the machine because on my first use, it would jam after 2 stitches so I returned it the next day.

I found the machine a little difficult to use. Threading was not easy and the actual process of sewing was awkward.

Rex Mini Sewing Machine Review

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?
