I purchased this as a quick sewing machine for my college daughter. I really wanted it to work well as I was thinking of picking one up for myself as an extra machine for quick jobs. I don't like giving negative reviews, but there were no reviews for this machine, so here I go:
Pro: It's tiny and light and very portable. Threading is very easy and stitches were perfect. Customer service responded quickly.
Con: It's loud, but it's a tiny machine and you can't expect everything...The pressure foot does not lift up high enough to get much more than a double layer of lightweight cotton through. I tried sewing a small cotton pillowcase and could not get the edges under the foot. Filling a bobbin runs the needle, which I did not like, and you need to use your finger as a way to make sure the bobbin thread goes on evenly. My biggest challenge (which I lost) came with replacing the bobbin and pulling the thread through. The instructions were useless (very limited) and customer service referred me to videos of other machines with different bobbin setups.
I never did figure out how to get the bobbin in correctly and the thread pulled through. I've returned it and purchased a full-size machine for my daughter. The machine has potential but they need to work on the bobbin issue, be up front about how high the foot lifts and put up a video.
