  • Great Quality Sewing Machine-Good Value
Style: SM1704
Great little sewing machine. Works perfect and very easy to thread. Really like the drop-in bobbin feature. Love the size and portability of it too. Quiet operation and very smooth. Great value for the money. Had a previous "Brother" sewing machine and it lasted over 30 years. Hope this one does the same. And this machine is so pretty! :) Very happy with this purchase. ... show more

  • 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐ Great for Beginners and Light Projects!
Style: SM1704
I bought this machine as a beginner, mainly to do light sewing tasks like bag linings and minor alterations — and it’s been perfect so far! It’s simple to use, easy to thread, and not intimidating at all. The stitch options are just enough without being overwhelming, and it runs quietly, which I really appreciate when working late. It’s definitely not meant for thick fabrics or heavy-duty sewing, but for everyday projects and learning the basics, it gets the job done beautifully. I love how lightweight it is too — easy to store and move around. If you’re new to sewing or just want something reliable for simple tasks, this is a solid pick! ... show more

  • Great Machine!
Style: SM1704 + Case
I love this little machine! I gets the job done and its great for beginners like me! I threaded the needle easily. Filled the bobbin with the easy instructions and now my jeans are hemmed like a pro. This came with a carry case! I absolutely would tell you if your starting out and dont care about all those fancy stitches and you just want to make curtains or hem pants. This is the machine for you. I even fixed a dress that was too big for me. I almost feel like a pro. ... show more

  • Light weight with smooth even stiching
Style: SM1704
I have owned a lot of portable sewing machines. This one sews well but there are two things that could have been executed better: 1) the base of the machine does not make full contact with the surface that place the machine is on for sewing, which does cause the machines to tip if you put weight on that spot. It does not interfere with the sewing but it can be a bit annoying 2) The thread cutter is not efficient.I much prefer my thread cutter to be on the back of the column that lifts the presser foot up and down. The motion for this type of thread cutter is much smoother and efficient. I still can't get used to using the cutter on this machine. Overall I am happy with this product. It sews very well. ... show more

  • It actually works well
Style: SM1704
I was skeptical about getting a sewing machine for this inexpensive price, but it works great and really isn’t difficult. Great instruction booklet! I haven’t tried any fancy stitches, just normal stitches. I made a Halloween costume for my grand baby, and I hemmed 4 pairs of pants for my daughter, so far. I like that it’s not huge, and I easily store it in my closet inside the box it came in, along with the accessories I need (all in one box). Great value for the money. Sturdy. Good sewing speed and power. Checks all the boxes for me. And it’s really cute too! ... show more
