It works. My 10 year old loves it. The only possible safety issue is that it keeps sewing and does not stop when button is pressed. I would not recommend for children younger than 10 for safety reasons.
Save your money

I bought this machine to do some simple pants hemming. The instructions on how to thread the bobbins and the needle were difficult to understand. Once I finally got everything threaded properly, all the machine did was jam. Every 2-3 stitches it would jam and I would have to pull the stitch out, re-thread the needle and start over just to have it jam again. I ended up hemming the pants by hand and it was easier and quicker than using this machine. I would not recommend it to anyone. Either do hand stitching or spend your money on a tailor!
Great little starter sewing machine
Rating: 4 (2008-09-30)
This is a great little starter sewing machine. We got it to sew up little bandannas for our dogs, but I'm sure we'll use it for other things. I really like it, but I'll just say what's wrong with it.
First, the manual is written in broken English and is difficult to follow. It's not the best for learning how to use a sewing machine. We're going to be getting some help from friends who know how to do this better. Also, as another review mentions, it does not come with an AC adapter or batters (4xAA required). Really, however, it's perfect for what it's intended to do; 4 stars only because of these small faults. If I could give 4.5, I would.
On the good side, it comes pre-threaded, and TESTED - there's actually some cloth in the machine that has been sewed (presumably with an AC adapter in the factory). You can begin trying it immediately.
Great value for money! Very handy machine to have around!

Portable, sews very well for small jobs.
BUT, please do not follow instructions given in the accompanying documentation fully: the manual says to thread through the spring loaded capstan at the top (for thread tension) a few times. Instead, just send the thread once or twice at the lowest position of the spring loaded capstan and see if you can manually pull the thread easily without a hitch. If you can pull manually, then you are set.
Rest of the instructions are fine.
The best mini, portable sewing machine ever for small jobs!
Would have been nice to include the power adapter, but for this price, I am asking too much! You can use any available general purpose power adapter for the same specifications (DC voltage and amp ratings!).
bundle, stop re-thread-repeat in triplicate

I got through three hems-then did nothing but re-thread and cut out bundled string for two hours. Better to use a needle, thread and your own hands and save yourself the time
