SINGER Stitch Sew Quick Portable Mending Machine - Single Thread Machine for Quick Repairs

The media could not be loaded. Overall awesome. Haven’t had it long enough to know if it’s gonna give up the ghost, but so far, so good. Was able to accomplish exactly what I wanted it to. I bought it primarily to sew reinforced plastic to a zipper, to create a zippered opening for a greenhouse. The plastic covering was already installed and the zipper was supposed to just stick on, but the glue didn’t hold up well enough and needed to be reinforced. Couldn’t take it down to sew it, so we bought this little tool. Worked beautifully! Some of the loops didn’t pick up on the back side, but I think it’s because the zipper’s adhesive might have been gumming up the machine a bit.

This machine is very poorly designed. First off, just loading the batteries was a pain - the compartment is barely big enough, and getting the lid to slide and close was next to impossible. Next, the pressure plate is a pain to lift - and you almost need three hands to do that without at the same time depressing the sewing arm and stabbing yourself with the needle. If you can get past that, threading the machine is not too terrible, as long as you have decent fine motor skills and very good vision. Fine - that's pretty standard for any sewing machine. However, positioning the fabric to sew is tricky, and you really have to practice to even get a marginally straight line. There's no reverse on this machine, so you have to manually tie off the stitch and hope it holds. Lastly, my machine stopped actually stitching after a couple of successful seams. It does the stitching motion, but the thread does not catch, so it's basically just putting holes in the fabric. And after half an hour of messing with the tiny tension knob, nothing changed. So I was unable to actually use this for anything. It pisses me off that Singer attached its name to this cheap paperweight. I would imagine that someone out there can design a handheld machine that actually works and is not such a pain to use. I'd pay $40-$50 for something like that. This was total waste of $23 plus tax.

This did get the job done but with a lot of thread breakage. The compactness is hard to beat. It was difficult to use with precision

I like this handy little stitcher. Its great for using in the go when you need to stitch a small area. Convenient when you don't want to bring out the heavy sewing machine out of storage for a small stitch area. Easy to load and easy to use. Small enough to put in a bag, purse, pocket or drawer for storage. It sews fabric perfectly but will not sew plastic. I tried it thinking it would repair a plastic seam. Its not strong enough.The design fits the hand perfectly. Gentle pressure and it starts sewing. Comfortable. Not an iron grip that hurts your hand.It sews fabric like a regular sewing machine. I did not have any issues with fabrics. Only plastics.

Its hauntingly bad... it's so light duty it can't stich pockets back together... Don't buy this thing. even the instructions are wrong... just dont...

I bought this item because I was tired of mending simple things by hand. I recently found that one of my jackets had a rather large hole in the pocket and I couldn't bring myself to stitch it up manually. This Singer portable sewing machine really did the trick.As other users have said, the unit that I received was the Turkish model. I was able to figure out mostly what to do based on the pictures in the instructions and the rest I deciphered using google translate.It did a good job at creating a nice even stitch. It wasn't very long before I had gotten the hang of using it in a nice left to right motion as intended.This thing runs on 4AA batteries. Since this is probably not something you'll use everyday, you may want to put some rechargeable batteries in there when necessary.I don't have any major complaints except, (1) I wish the seller had indicated that the Turkish model would be the one that I was receiving and (2) I wish the presser foot that holds the fabric down was able to be raised slightly higher. It's a bit difficult to get fabric under it. You need to do a little shimmy to get things where you want them.I'd highly recommend this item if you're doing a hem on some pants or a dress, or making some other simple repair. I'm a person who hadn't used a sewing machine since Home Economics back in middle school and I didn't have any issue making this thing work for me. YMMV.
