    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!

      @MiriamMillen 11 місяців тому +4

      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).

    • @oh.comely
      @oh.comely 7 місяців тому +3

      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!

    • @kittykitty435
      @kittykitty435 5 місяців тому

      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!

  • @annwilliams2075
    @annwilliams2075 2 роки тому +9

    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.

  • @jsmxwll
    @jsmxwll Рік тому +10

    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.

  • @nannybannany
    @nannybannany Рік тому +5

    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.

    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.

    • @1228Rhonda

    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @DebbieAllred3

    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.

      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.

      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!

      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.

    • @aliceinwonderland8314
      @aliceinwonderland8314 Рік тому

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
