This machine is powerful enough to handle 4 layers of soft leather, canvas, vinyl or upholstery fabrics. Great for work on footwear, leather bags, purses, other leather articles, canvas articles such as sails (on boats), banners, awnings, and other heavy fabrics where a zig-zag stitch is needed such as on backpacks, curtains, and in upholstery (chairs or couches). The walking foot makes sewing your leather projects a breeze.

Singer Button Magic Review

Not sure what happened to the previous buyers unit but the one I have is awesome! I am a wholesaler and rec'd a few of these in stock so I opened one and kept for myself. Literally turns garments back to looking gorgeous! If you read the previous buyers comment you'll see that this is the second one she bought. Evidentally she liked it enough to buy it again except the second one she bought was evidentally from a terrible seller. I will say that the units are delicate so don't drop them or use them until they clog up so bad you can't unclog them. Having said all this, I really love this little slice of heaven.

BRATZ (REAL) Designed Sewing Machine Review

BRATZ (REAL) Designed Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My daughter received this from her aunt. We followed the directions included in the package and found several problems with the item. (1) Once the machine is threaded (according to the directions) the thread feels so tight that it threatens breaking when you pull it through the needle... (2) The foot pedal pulls the fabric through the machine backwards.....(3) There seems to be nothing in the bottom portion of the machine which catches the thread to make a complete seam, in other words...the needle pulls the thread in and out of the fabric without leaving any thread connected to the fabric.
I am completely frustrated with this product and would love to hear that I am just using it incorrectly or that I have a malfunctioning machine. My daughter was VERY disappointed since she had looked so forward to "really" sewing on her own. Has anyone else had any experience with this product?

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

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

(More customer reviews)
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.

I'm really disappointed that this product has Singer's name on it. My 8 yr. old received this as a gift. The knitting machine sort of worked, except it dropped stitches and left gaping holes. The sewing machine is a total joke. It has no bobbin thread, it's just designed to do a chain stitch (which technically doesn't need a bobbin). It never worked from day one. The thread unravels and doesn't stay chained, even when we were very careful to make sure we were following the instructions for threading the machine and backstitching before going forwards. Very disappointing. I'm sorry anyone spent money on it.

I bought this for my daughter who wanted to learn how to sew. It's ok for this purpose, but don't count on it for great sewing. The speed is very slow, the pedal is cheap plastic and can break easily. The size is easy to handle for quick-fix sewing. The bobbin case is flimsy and comes dislodged easily.

I for once had no prior sewing teachings. I quickly learned to use this machine and it has made many beautiful projects. I recommend the Brother LS-30 to anyone wanting to learn to sew. Easy to thread, although it's reburbish I have no complaints.

Stitch to your heart's content with this Brother sewing machine. LS-30 full-size sewing machine has 22 stitch functions to satisfy your every stitching need. Sewing machine is easy to use and loaded with features. Built-in free arm for sewing cuffs and sleeves Super easy bobbin winding system. 3 needle position selector. Built-in sewing light. Stitch length dial. Built-in accessory storage. Includes instruction book and foot pedal. What is Refurbished? When a product is refurbished, it is made to look like and operate as a brand new item should. Many times it is as simple as the box being opened by mistake or for quality checks. Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. Most of the time the only difference between new and refurbished is the brown box and the lower price, which is your gain as an educated consumer. We are so confident with the quality of our refurbished items that we offer a full 30 day return policy with every purchase, so buy with confidence!

This product doesn't even deserve one star! I bought this for something simple and easy...what a BIG MISTAKE!! It's more trouble than it is worth! The hems don't hold up, it's a pain to finish a hem so it doesn't unthread on me, it's hard to control any real direction AND did I mention that it just plain SUCKS? I feel like I am all thumbs while trying to use it. It's now in the dumpster because I wouldn't even GIVE it away!!! Coming from the name Singer, I was a bit surprised of the bad quality :((

Kenmore Mini Ultra 3/4 Size Sewing Machine with 6 Stitches Plus Buttonhole Review

Kenmore Mini Ultra 3/4 Size Sewing Machine with 6 Stitches Plus Buttonhole
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this machine as a gift 7 years ago, and have since sewed everything from cardboard, denim, upholstery fabrics, quilts, paper, etc on it, and it is still chugging along! It's wonderful because it's fairly lightweight and medium sized, so it's easy to transport. It's also very easy to learn on, I taught myself how to use it and had sewed very little previous to using this machine. It has three straight stitches and seven variations of zig-zag stitches, as well as settings for making a buttonhole; new machines have way more settings for different stitches, but I've learned to do a lot of creative things just with this amount. If you are a really serious sewer you may be interested in a fancier machine with more options, but this one is wonderful if you are okay with limited stitch options. Replacements for needles and the light bulb have been easy and inexpensive. I've recently been learning about how to reset the tension, and this has been the first time it's given me any issues. Read the whole manual before you begin using it, it will make you a better sewer and teach you how to take care of your machine so it lasts longer. I would definitely recommend this machine.

This machine does not work. I will be returning it to find a better "first" machine for my daughter. The stitiches do not hold, every instruction was followed to the letter. It is not worth even 4 cents, much less 14 dollars. I would have paid more for something that acutally works. I'll keep looking

I purchased this product in the hopes that it would help me fix my favorite shirt. As I started using it, however, I realized that it was not going to be acomplishable. I suppose that for ordinary purpases, it would wor fine, but I had a hole in the armpit of my shirt that I was trying to fix. The product didn't have enough space for me to fit the fabric into to properly fix it, and the stitch type wasn't strong enough.\
I have given this product three stars because it will work for fine for ordinary things, but don't expect to be able to handle big jobs.

She said this was a good basic machine for my purposes which would be simple projects not requiring any fancy stitches.It has all the basic stitces and a zipper foot, a buttonhole foot, darning plate etc.
I tried out all the stitches and the stitch quality is good so far. I am going to keep this one.

Handy Stitch Sewing Machine (As Seen On TV) Review

Handy Stitch Sewing Machine (As Seen On TV)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is one of those items that really is too good to be true. I've read reviews of people saying that it doesn't work because the stitching just pulls out and because it doesn't have a second bobbin underneath, but that actually isn't true. If you pull the tailend thread through the fabric, you can tie it off and it'll hold the stitching. And the thread actually loops onto a hook underneath, where you would expect a second bobbin to be, and that's how it makes stitches.
The REAL issue with this is that the thread often slips off the the hook in the middle of sewing and you have a bunch of loose stitches. When it doesn't slip, it's great! Too bad it doesn't ever NOT slip. I managed to sew one seam of a dress I was making, the first seam, and after that it wouldn't sew without dropping stitches. Luckily I got this as a gift, and it has inspired me to start sewing, but now I need to get my hands on a actual machine that ACTUALLY sews. Don't waste your $10 + shipping on this!! Put it towards a real machine.

I haven't used a sewing machine since I was 7..so naturally i was a little nervous about buying anything overly expensive or intricate.

I purchased this machine a few weeks ago and while using it the thread started bunching and getting caught in the bobbin area, I unjammed and checked the tension, it would work for about 1/2 the side of one pant leg and then get bunched again. I have taken the bobbin feeder area apart checked the tension read the VERY SHORT manual that doesnt give you much help...and tried basically everything I can think of including changing the needle...still keeps doing it!! ... oh yeah and the bobbin winder worked once and now it doesnt ever switch the power from the sewing part to the winding the bobbin when you slide the winder over.. so the needle goes up and down and the bobbin stays perfectly still!! ..if anyone has any clues about how to fix these issues please let me know
