Re: Mini Sewing Machine (white with purple) Knobs on the front have 2 Speed setting, etc. Just look closer, read instruction manual & a couple of the extra mini sewing machine videos by the company; it has 2 speeds, there’s a tension knob, yes there’s a bobbin winder, the screw near the needle tightens the presser foot, there’s a tension knob, light switch, needle guard. Got one for my 8 yr old granddaughter for Christmas. I haven’t sewn in about 40-45 yrs. Thankfully, I remembered the basics. It works great! I love it & better yet SHE LOVES IT!
Also, it sounded like he said it was a $50 sewing machine when you can easily buy one for $20 or less. It's great for beginners! The only two things that are missing are being able to go in reverse and being able to use thick material (like heavy denim).
It blows my mind that this is supposedly a knowledgeable “certified master technician “ who doesn't read instructions and can not operate the least expensive machine only because he won't do the most elementary requirement and look at how to use it correctly. The second machine he was laughing his way through is actually a really useful machine for some projects. I actually can see the logic in using these machines like how I am storing all my machines in storage and using one of these because I'm living in a hotel. Hey @theseamster show him how it's done!
I wondered if he would actually READ anything. I saw that on another channel that showed that. But that person didn't read the box. This was entertaining though.
@@oh.comelyAgree. I got the handy stitch for $10, unfamiliar with chain stitches, I couldn't do a single proper stitched line before wrecking the mechanism. Now getting the $20 2nd machine that lock stitches, I think I'll be able to use it properly. Being frameless & lightweight, must be gentle and read instructions carefully, and don't drop it!
I currently have three sewing machines and have always threaded the cotton on to the bobbin by winding the thread a couple of times around it, then threading the end through one of the bobbin holes. It allows me to give it a little tension when the thread starts to fill the bobbin. Was taught this when learning on my mother’s hand sewing machine with the shuttle type bobbins and it helps with the round ones of modern machines.
I just watched a review on that mini machine. The lady was very informative and positive about it. The thread holder on top pulls up to hold the spool of thread. I understand you sell sewing machines, but why be so negative about less expensive models? Give a proper review.
I use one of those handheld chainstitchers all the time. The difference is you move the machine not the fabric. Once you get that part down, it's pretty good. Chain stitches make excellent basting stitches, but I have a singer 411g that fills that need most of the time now.
Thanks Teancum, I enjoyed the video and the comical moments. I'm so happy that you tried them now we don't need to waste our money. All three makes me scratch my head.
This was a great demo. I have often wondered whether I should get my grandchildren a mini machine as opposed to a "real" sewing machine. I've been convinced by you to get a singer heavy duty or featherweight for them. Thanks.
I watched this because I bought the mini machine. Although I appreciate the information, I wish there was a more thorough review. Just by reading the instruction manual I was able to see that there's a High-Low button for stitch speed (only 2 speeds, but still). I also had more success winding a bobbin than you. That being said, I love the view of the inside of the machine. I was wondering if this was interesting enough to change the foot (I wanted to sew a zipper onto a crochet project). But.... you gave me my answer, lol.
That little hand held is more work than it’s worth! You can do better with a needle and thread 😂. I don’t think I’d even use it in an emergency 🤣 Thanks for the chuckles T!
This was fun! I have three top end Berninas, but I still found this a lot of fun. Used machines are really the way to go if you need something really dirt cheap and are stuck in your dorm room with a bunch of mending.
That little hand sewing gadget has been around for years. Back in the day it was called the Sew-Amatic. $3.99 LOL They had one that also did buttons automatically....the name...you guessed it! The Button-matic~ LOL😅🤣😂
Paid $3 for the handheld on temu. Cut down my time drastically from hand stitching and I can throw it in a drawer when I'm done. I guess it just depends on the perspective you come into this at.
I was blessed that I bought a Singer that is tiny. I can’t remember what it’s called but it is a real machine! Quilters love these because they are easy to travel with. Comes in a case that is solid. Mine has been to Germany and back. I made baby clothes and did repairs on army base. Bought it in 1967 it has not needed repairs. It is just a straight stitch but that is what I learned to sew on. I have 3 other machines but this is my favorite for quilts. One singer that is a year older than I am. One of singers first embroidery machines about1955. A sears machine that I got to make my kids clothes. It has a stretch stitch that is wonderful for knits. About 1970.
Thank you for the review. Every time I teach a class there is always someone who brings in one of these contraptions to work on. I have to stop the class and send them out to a purchase a real machine. Your review is an excellent teaching tool, I will use it for future classroom discussions.
This makes me so glad that I found a vintage 1970's Frister and Rossmann machine in a thrift store for £15. My machine is all metal, weighs about 12 kilos and has a beautifully responsive foot pedal which allows you to go as fast or slow as you like. So for the price of the first "machine" I have something that can easily handle denim and leather. The only negative is that it is a flat bed design which makes doing things like cuffs and ankle hems somewhat fiddly. It only does straight or zigzag but really that is all I need for now. I am only altering clothes, not trying to be the next Giorgio Armani!
😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Hope to do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!
That quilt pattern is Infinity by Jacqueline De Jonge. We love it too! We don't have it in stock right now but should in the future. Thanks for watching!
I've had a Janome Sew Mini for many years. It is most similar to the Singer, but smaller, about the size of a toaster. I bring it with me when I travel because it fits in a regular suitcase and weighs nothing. I work on improv quilts on vacation, so a 1/4" seam allowance isn't important. And if the sewing machine walks away from my hotel room, it wouldn't take much to replace it.
Great job T!! It would be neat if you could take us on a tour of the costume designers and sewers of a Casino show. I bet they ha e all kinds of quick fixes to share! I wish there was a stitching hand held machine that could do the work of a long arm....now that would be cool!
Enjoyed watching this. I have one Singer Tiny Taylor and it works like the Singer M model you show here. I also collect so I would pass on these even for my colleciton. Thanks Teachum.
I got my granddaughter a 70 or 80 dollar Janome a few years ago. It did ok at sewing but when I went to put a quarter inch foot on it I couldn't. The foot that came on it was permanent and couldn't be changed. I ended up getting her a babylock Brilliant that she should have for a long time. It purrs like a kitten and has a lot of the newer bells and whistle's. You get what you pay for. Enjoyed your video.
The Janome sounds like the Janome Sew Mini that I've had for a long time, that I take with me when I travel. It's slow but gets the job done, fits in my suitcase and weighs nothing.
I bought that second machine to use while traveling. It worked one time at home. The next time I tried to use the machine it would not come back on. It was a piece of junk that I wasted money on. It was put in the round file. I love the quilt hanging behind you.
I actually bought a Singer Mini machine 10+ years ago to start showing my granddaughter how to sew but they moved away till recently and it has been stored and never taken out of the box. You have got me curious about it. I'm gonna have to dig it out and try it, don't know that I could handle the noise I'm used to my very quite Singer that I piece with. Enjoyed the video though, thanks.
I will have to respectfully disagree. It’s nothing more than a plastic toy that would only frustrate anyone trying to learn how to sew. Please don’t start a child out on something that will make them hate sewing.
The Janome Mini, in the hands of an experienced sewer, has done a great job on some projects. It is just slow and has no built-in light with very basic stitches.
I bought a $100 Baby Lock at a quilt show a few years ago…it’s now got a name…Zest. It was just a number before…BL9. It’s a legitimate machine and my granddaughter is/has used it a lot. It’s got a quality stitch and is pretty well made. Who knew. I think it costs a whole $150 or so these days. So you can get a working machine for not a lot of $$$.
I bought the stapler-looking one... it was a waste of time... as you mentioned one has no control over it, not even for a hem. The middle one is more for a child to learn and get a feel of it, good enough to make a simple bag but not to bind anything too thick or 4 layers which is what you would need to make a purse or tote bag.
😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Hope to do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!
The first hand held machine, you can buy at the 99 cent store for $5.99. As far as your bobbin, you need to buy a separate bobbin threader for your bobbins.
If You Were Going On A Trip, which one would you take for emergencies that might Arise ..The Larger Expensive One I Would Leave At Home, simply because It's Too Bulky..
My granddaughter got that singer when she was younger for Christmas. It was after trying a $49 dollar one, and re pkg it and exchanged it at the store. At least the singer actually sewed.
I used to work at a "big box store". People would come in to by a toy sewing machine for their tween/teen. I was always quite honest with them and tell them that if the kid is serious about sewing, just buy a better, bigger real sewing machine. The toy ones would always fail and once you run out of thread/bobbins, you cannot replace them, etc. The kids would just get frustrated. The parents never believed me and after Christmas, the toy machine would be returned and I would end up selling out of the cheapest, basic REAL sewing machines. It happened EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS that I worked there. lol

@SewYeah Question for you. I just got a walmart mini sewing machine SM-202A, tested it, all good, except the foot pedal jack plug doesn't securely fit, I have to hold it or it falls out, (which defeats the purpose of having free hands to guide the cloth) the 2 machine halves meeting there are slightly misaligned. Obviously the machine was tested but not the foot pedal jack. You unscrewed the halves, is there a trick to putting it together again? Any springs bouncing out? I don't want to send it back to China and wait a month or three.
@@SewYeah I got the 2 year warranty extension, so I figured I'd open the case, might be a minor thing that I can fix. If not, I'll call the service dept. Did you have any problem putting it back together?
We wish you were closer too! You should be able to find a certified technician near you. That's probably the best place to start so you make sure whoever is working on the machine has the experience and knowledge to get it working in tip-top shape! Good luck! We would be happy to answer any questions. Please email us at contact@sewyeahquilting.com for any additional help. Thank you!
Hello! Thanks for watching! The noise level of the machine really depends on the brand and price range. We sell Bernina, Brother, Juki, Janome and HandiQuilter machines. They are all fantastic brands that are some of the quietest machines on the market. For more information, please email us at contact@sewyeahquilting.com and we would be happy to help. Thank you!
You are better off spending $25 to $50 on a good used machine in most any thrift store in the world. These basic machines are meant for not having to walk around with pants that are too long or a split seam in the seat of your pants. Better off with a used one.
I’m trying to go on a lot of quilt, retreats and classes. The preferable sewing machines are so heavy!!!! Would the little purple machine be able to do the job?
😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Hope to do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!
Depends on whether you need a locking stitch or not. By far the most portable is the stapler kind. You can get hand powered ones that are smaller and lighter than the one in the video for about a fiver. They're somewhat comparable in stitch to hand sewing, but are much quicker. They can be a bit fiddly, so it will likely take a bit of practice and experimentation to get a great run of stitches. If you use a shorter stitch length, you should be able to get a functionally strong run of stitches. If you want a locking stitch, either the second machine in this video or something roughly equivalent is likely your best bet. You might need to give it a bit of padding, even just a cloth bag, so it can survive transportation. A selection of bobbins is going to likely be more compact than a selection of spools.
That quilt pattern is Infinity by Jacqueline De Jonge. We love it too! We don't have it in stock right now but should in the future. Thanks for watching!
You criticised the mini machine allot but it's actually a good little machine for little money you put the bobbin on the needle bar instead of the fixed bar then you criticised it for the bobbin falling off that's a fault with how you used it not the machine
We agree some mini machines are good for the money, however, we generally think the money would be better spent put towards a machine that is built to last longer and is better quality. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for watching.

Lol I just tried the micro one and returned it immediately. Impossible to do the straight stitch even with two hands (I pressed the button with my foot haha thanks god Im flexible). The mini one and the bobbin, its weird that you never saw that before. My mom has a professional machine where you thread the bobbin the same way and I saw many machines like that. Maybe the newest ones have some different mechanism, I dont know. Oh, and you didnt review the absolute smallest one! Its mechanical handheld, no batteries no electricity whatsoever. I'm actually planning to get it instead of micro. Only 5 bucks
The hand held ons the thread snapped and you continue to "sew" with no thread it bothered me when I noticed that. The second machine is very similar to a temu machine that cost like $8 dollars and you can't have the sewing thread attached as it will get caught up on the inside and do what just happened.
Thank you for helping me to decide not to buy any of those. I have a Singer shuttle treadle sewing machine, a hand cranked Jones sewing machine, an antique Singer electric, and a vintage zigzag which I'm going to put a hand crank on. I'm off the electric grid most of the time.
If you want a free vintage 1960s - 1970s sewing machine, spread the word you want one. People will throw them at you. I had to say no to several just because I don't have room. They sew like champs with just a little basic maintenance (lots of videos out there on that, AndyTube is great) and will last forever because of their metal gears.
Why do you keep saying it might break? Plastic will fail eventually but our Juki Japanese $800 one is Gucci and we do nothing to it and never breaks. We also have 2 industrial Juki. Its about use. I'm in Aerospace. Just picked up this skill and 6 months into it.
People can't always "just bite the bullet" and spend more. For some people $100 is not a small amount of money, and decently working, reasonably priced used machines aren't always available. If taken proper care of the little Singer or its Brother counterpart (both available at Walmart) can work just fine for those who use them.
Thank you for watching! There are a lot of great machines that are very affordable that we love! Value-wise, some machines are worth more than others and we do our best to provide our customers with the best machine in their price range. You can view all the sewing machines we offer on our website at www.sewyeahquilting.com. Thanks again!
I always wondered how bad those mini machines are. Junk junk as I suspected. I have a sewing room full of Juki’s and love them. I have a DX7, MO-1000 serger, DDL-8700 industrial, and a J-350 Miyabi sit down longarm.
@@SewYeah Question for you.

There IS a bobbin winder on that mini machine.That rod you put the reel of cotton on has to be pulled up to hold it. There's also two buttons that one has an L on it, the other an H =. High and Low, these adjust the speed of the sewing. There's also a little built in light. You really should read the manual or better still watch a yt video before you try to do a demo.
the little machines look cute, but to teach a child with less agitation it's better to find an old sturdy machine 2nd hand, the light weight of those machines could be dangerous to kids lol
My granddaughter got a child's sewing machine and I think its a safety Hazzard. There is no way to direct the settings and hold the machine at the same time. The machine requires a dexterity that few kids have at this age range and is much too fast. I gave one of my machines to her. It's easier to use, a variety of speeds.and just safer to use,
Thanks so much for watching! The Juki F300 is quite a bit more than the other machines mentioned, however it is a fantastic machine and we love to give a lot of options to our amazing customers! We are so glad you could join us for the video! Hope to see you again next time!

The first machine is used by farmers for sewing close sacks... example are sacks of rice.. I also see it used on sewing close sacks of cement.
Did not know that!!! Thanks!

That quilt pattern is Infinity by Jacqueline De Jonge. We love it too! We actually don't have it in stock right now but should in the future.
I bought the stapler-looking one... it was a waste of time... as you mentioned one has no control over it, not even for a hem. The middle one is more for a child to learn and get a feel of it, good enough to make a simple bag but not to bind anything too thick or 4 layers which is what you would need to make a purse or tote bag.
Thanks for that info!!!!😊😊
When I wash pillows, I unstitch them after so I can unfcuk the insides easier. That hand stitcher is great for re-stitching them
😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Hope to do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!
The singer machine is great for a young beginner
Thanks for watching! We hope the video was helpful!
The first hand held machine, you can buy at the 99 cent store for $5.99. As far as your bobbin, you need to buy a separate bobbin threader for your bobbins.
Thanks for the great information! We hope you enjoyed the video!
Yes I did. 🧶🧶☮️
I have a singer mender works fine. I got it on sale for 60 dollars. Works fine to piece quilts
Our videographer sews on a Singer Tradition he got at Joann's in high school and he has no complaints 🤔 If it works then keep doing it!
If You Were Going On A Trip, which one would you take for emergencies that might Arise ..The Larger Expensive One I Would Leave At Home, simply because It's Too Bulky..
👍😊🤔🤗
They all seem so hard to use! I just want to do simple hems. I think I'll stick with needle and thread. Thanks for the reviews.
Thanks for watching! A less expensive regular sized machine does the trick as well.Happy sewing! 😀💖
This was very useful info. Thank you.
We are glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
That little singer is awesome!
Thanks for watching! We hope the video was helpful.
My granddaughter got that singer when she was younger for Christmas. It was after trying a $49 dollar one, and re pkg it and exchanged it at the store. At least the singer actually sewed.
I used to work at a "big box store". People would come in to by a toy sewing machine for their tween/teen. I was always quite honest with them and tell them that if the kid is serious about sewing, just buy a better, bigger real sewing machine. The toy ones would always fail and once you run out of thread/bobbins, you cannot replace them, etc. The kids would just get frustrated. The parents never believed me and after Christmas, the toy machine would be returned and I would end up selling out of the cheapest, basic REAL sewing machines. It happened EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS that I worked there. lol
Singers are so amazing! We are so glad your granddaughter is following in your footsteps! 😍
Great video super fun no stress love it.
Thank you 🤗
Thanks, that was very entertaining!
🤣 We are glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
I love the quilt behind you is that a paper piece
It is! That quilt pattern is Infinity by Jacqueline De Jonge. We love it too! We don't have it in stock right now but should in the future. Thanks for watching!
Love the quilt as a back drop

@SewYeah Question for you. I just got a walmart mini sewing machine SM-202A, tested it, all good, except the foot pedal jack plug doesn't securely fit, I have to hold it or it falls out, (which defeats the purpose of having free hands to guide the cloth) the 2 machine halves meeting there are slightly misaligned. Obviously the machine was tested but not the foot pedal jack. You unscrewed the halves, is there a trick to putting it together again? Any springs bouncing out? I don't want to send it back to China and wait a month or three.
You may have to send it back. Can you take it into a store.?
@@SewYeah I got the 2 year warranty extension, so I figured I'd open the case, might be a minor thing that I can fix. If not, I'll call the service dept. Did you have any problem putting it back together?
Update: good news! Walmart full refund and I keep the mini, so I can open it and try to fix. If I fail, I'll buy another or better one. :)
these portable are good for beginners and personal use but hi speed is still better and reliable
Good point!
Mr T wish I was closer to your shop...Grandson gave me , what I think is a 1918 singer..Needs help..but don't where to start..😂😂
We wish you were closer too! You should be able to find a certified technician near you. That's probably the best place to start so you make sure whoever is working on the machine has the experience and knowledge to get it working in tip-top shape! Good luck! We would be happy to answer any questions. Please email us at contact@sewyeahquilting.com for any additional help. Thank you!
What sewing machines would you say are the quietest?
Hello! Thanks for watching! The noise level of the machine really depends on the brand and price range. We sell Bernina, Brother, Juki, Janome and HandiQuilter machines. They are all fantastic brands that are some of the quietest machines on the market. For more information, please email us at contact@sewyeahquilting.com and we would be happy to help. Thank you!
You are better off spending $25 to $50 on a good used machine in most any thrift store in the world. These basic machines are meant for not having to walk around with pants that are too long or a split seam in the seat of your pants. Better off with a used one.
Well put! Thanks so much for watching! 😀
THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Thanks so much for watching!
Dude, great video.
Thanks so much! We are so glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you can join us next time!
Do you have the kit behind you and if you do can you leave a link….1228 Rhonda
agree that is an amazing quilt!
I was wondering this as well
Hello. Please text us at 702-280-4552 for any questions and we would be happy to help. Thanks!
I have one of the mini sewing machine….it works pretty good for 20 bucks! I didn’t get the thread and scissors with mine!
😀🙌 Thanks so much for watching!
I have a portable singer, smaller than that one singer. It does not have a reverse 😢please help
Leave the needle in the fabric, lift the foot and turn the fabric round and sew a few stitches. Turn the fabric back round and continue.
Raise the foot turn the material and sew a few stitches opposite direction to lock thread
I’m trying to go on a lot of quilt, retreats and classes. The preferable sewing machines are so heavy!!!! Would the little purple machine be able to do the job?
Not sure it would hold up to lots of sewing
Thanks buddy!
😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Hope to do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!
I actually like the daisy chain. And at that price it can gather dust for the few times I would use it
Thanks for watching and for the feedback! We appreciate your insight!
I hate to ask ,but look for my penny would you? It’s a 1970 Lincoln penny.( Hahaha) .Thanks for putting up with me !
We love putting up with you!! 🤣😍
What about portability? I’ll want a machine on my travels that doesnt weigh much or take space. Would these/any of these work?
Depends on whether you need a locking stitch or not.
By far the most portable is the stapler kind. You can get hand powered ones that are smaller and lighter than the one in the video for about a fiver. They're somewhat comparable in stitch to hand sewing, but are much quicker. They can be a bit fiddly, so it will likely take a bit of practice and experimentation to get a great run of stitches. If you use a shorter stitch length, you should be able to get a functionally strong run of stitches.
If you want a locking stitch, either the second machine in this video or something roughly equivalent is likely your best bet. You might need to give it a bit of padding, even just a cloth bag, so it can survive transportation. A selection of bobbins is going to likely be more compact than a selection of spools.
The last one showed should work.
I love the quilt behind you. What is the name of the pattern?
That quilt pattern is Infinity by Jacqueline De Jonge. We love it too! We don't have it in stock right now but should in the future. Thanks for watching!
I think the littlest one is meant to be hand-held?
It can be hand-held, yes. 😊 Thanks for watching!
You criticised the mini machine allot but it's actually a good little machine for little money you put the bobbin on the needle bar instead of the fixed bar then you criticised it for the bobbin falling off that's a fault with how you used it not the machine
We agree some mini machines are good for the money, however, we generally think the money would be better spent put towards a machine that is built to last longer and is better quality. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for watching.
Is there a pattern for the quilt behind you? Would love to make it!
That quilt pattern is Infinity by Jacqueline De Jonge. We love it too! We don't have it in stock right now but should in the future. Thanks for watching!
I love the 3rd one.. its my favorite thing.. unfortunately it got stolen..
What a bummer!! So sorry about that! Thank you for watching!
I would like to have a pattern for quilt on the wall behind you.
That quilt pattern is Infinity by Jacqueline De Jonge. We love it too! We actually don't have it in stock right now but should in the future.
Well thanks 😄
😊🙌 Thanks for watching!
Is the quilt behind you in a kit or do you sell the pattern.

Lol I just tried the micro one and returned it immediately. Impossible to do the straight stitch even with two hands (I pressed the button with my foot haha thanks god Im flexible).
The mini one and the bobbin, its weird that you never saw that before. My mom has a professional machine where you thread the bobbin the same way and I saw many machines like that. Maybe the newest ones have some different mechanism, I dont know.
Oh, and you didnt review the absolute smallest one! Its mechanical handheld, no batteries no electricity whatsoever. I'm actually planning to get it instead of micro. Only 5 bucks
👍👍👍🪡🧵
The hand held ons the thread snapped and you continue to "sew" with no thread it bothered me when I noticed that.
The second machine is very similar to a temu machine that cost like $8 dollars and you can't have the sewing thread attached as it will get caught up on the inside and do what just happened.
Good to know!
What about Little Betty? I have that little machine
😂🤗😊🥰
Thank you for helping me to decide not to buy any of those. I have a Singer shuttle treadle sewing machine, a hand cranked Jones sewing machine, an antique Singer electric, and a vintage zigzag which I'm going to put a hand crank on. I'm off the electric grid most of the time.
We are so glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching!
If you want a free vintage 1960s - 1970s sewing machine, spread the word you want one. People will throw them at you. I had to say no to several just because I don't have room. They sew like champs with just a little basic maintenance (lots of videos out there on that, AndyTube is great) and will last forever because of their metal gears.
Thanks for sharing that great information! We love vintage machines! Thanks for watching!
the mini is surprising. perfect for repairs & straight stitches, my serger is heavy so im happy w the mini.
We are so glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
noticed the jewelry. congratulations.
Thank you so much! 😍
Why do you keep saying it might break? Plastic will fail eventually but our Juki Japanese $800 one is Gucci and we do nothing to it and never breaks. We also have 2 industrial Juki. Its about use. I'm in Aerospace. Just picked up this skill and 6 months into it.
Good thanks for sharing!
People can't always "just bite the bullet" and spend more. For some people $100 is not a small amount of money, and decently working, reasonably priced used machines aren't always available. If taken proper care of the little Singer or its Brother counterpart (both available at Walmart) can work just fine for those who use them.
Thank you for watching! There are a lot of great machines that are very affordable that we love! Value-wise, some machines are worth more than others and we do our best to provide our customers with the best machine in their price range. You can view all the sewing machines we offer on our website at www.sewyeahquilting.com. Thanks again!
I got that hand sewing machine free with something I bought. I never could get it to work, way to weird for me. LOL
Lol! Thanks for watching!
I always wondered how bad those mini machines are. Junk junk as I suspected. I have a sewing room full of Juki’s and love them. I have a DX7, MO-1000 serger, DDL-8700 industrial, and a J-350 Miyabi sit down longarm.
We love Juki's! Thanks for watching!
If first u don’t succeed, read the instructions 😀
🤣🤣🤣 Exactly!! Thanks for watching!
I had a sewing machine like the first one. Three times i used it and then nothing. I throw it in the wall. Never again.
😂😂😂
You're a metalhead. First one is a portable toy, 2nd is a portable stitcher, 3rd is transportable.
😂😂😂

There are only 3 mini machines?
These are the most commonly seen mini machines today. We hope you liked the review. Thanks for watching!
There IS a bobbin winder on that mini machine.That rod you put the reel of cotton on has to be pulled up to hold it. There's also two buttons that one has an L on it, the other an H =. High and Low, these adjust the speed of the sewing. There's also a little built in light. You really should read the manual or better still watch a yt video before you try to do a demo.
🤩🤩🤩
the little machines look cute, but to teach a child with less agitation it's better to find an old sturdy machine 2nd hand, the light weight of those machines could be dangerous to kids lol
There are many great machines that are study and affordable that are great for kids, we agree. Thanks for watching!
My granddaughter got a child's sewing machine and I think its a safety Hazzard. There is no way to direct the settings and hold the machine at the same time. The machine requires a dexterity that few kids have at this age range and is much too fast. I gave one of my machines to her. It's easier to use, a variety of speeds.and just safer to use,
Good point! We love our next generation sewists! 😍 Thanks for watching!
👍👍
🤔😊💕
Juki F300? That's 6x the price!
Thanks so much for watching! The Juki F300 is quite a bit more than the other machines mentioned, however it is a fantastic machine and we love to give a lot of options to our amazing customers! We are so glad you could join us for the video! Hope to see you again next time!
