Luby Sewing Machine with 12 Built-in Stitches & Free Arm, Portable, Lightweight, Suitable for Small Projects, Blue

It's a good quality machine

Broke after 2 1/2 days. Didn’t even get to test all the stitches before it stopped working

I got this machine to make stuffed animals and toys for my girls. It works well and does all the basic stuff I need. I’ve read the reviews of this machine before I got it. Some said it’s not heavy duty. Well I don’t have any heavy duty jobs to test it but I don’t think this machine is designed for heavy duty jobs. It’s small and lightweight. Easy for beginners like myself. Also if you don’t have a sewing area or have little kids running around at home, it’s easy to put the sewing machine on top of a shelf or in a closet. It really doesn’t take much space.

This machine is a bit younger than I am but I still wanted to try it. I would not recommend for professionals or adults but more for a teen, someone just learning to sew or a person that has foot challenges that prevents them from using the pressor foot.PositivesThis machine is small and will fit in a small area well.It has an awesome feature which allows the machine to automatically sew without using the pressor foot.The manual is come with a poster for user instructions that can be posted on the wall for beginners.Many options for stiches.Areas for improvementThe machine does not stitch on the first try, I had to tune it and try multiple times before it worked well.The pressor foot is too frail, it will not last long.The machine tends to cut regular thread but works well with the thread that came with it, those threads seem to have a thicker feel.

Im an adult woman who never really "learned" to sew, but nonetheless, I still do it from time to time. Mostly just straight stitches to hem something or take in a shirt. I had a "real" machine in the past and it was good, but confusing yo me at times. This machine is very basic, has superb instructions, and is lightweight for being out/storing.I used it to hem drapes and because the speed is fixed at slowish/medium, I had the straightest hem ever! Lol Later I tried to sew some hook and loop tape, and unfortunately this little machine kept jamming up. So maybe a different needle would have made the difference. In the end I gave up and used adhesive h&l tape.I recommend this to anyone who only wants to straight stitch every now and again. Or for someone new to sewing, it would be the perfect machine on which to learn.

I really fell in love with this mini sewing machine. It reminds me of a mini-Janome they had in the market years ago. It would be a great machine if the poor little thing works. It took me about 20 minutes to thread it. And once I pressed the pedal it made the most horrible noise. Instead of sewing, the machine sounded like a coffee grinder. Disappointed.

I purchased this machine to teach myself to sew. This machine is small, about the size of a regular sewing machine and does not come with a case. It comes with well detailed instructions on with threading and overall function of the unit. It also included a pack of accessories. While I originally got this unit to learn with doing simple projects it has no trouble stitching thick fabric, without hesitation. I have now started my second quilt with this machine and am loving every minute of it.

Good machine for beginners and those who are looking for a machine that can do basic tasks without having to spend money or spend time learning a complicated process for a machine that is more than they need. Bought the machine for basic use and for making decorative items for the house.I love my sewing machine! I had never had a sewing machine before. I had never used a sewing machine before. I taught myself how to sew. I was amazed on how easy it was to learn. It's one of those things that if I could learn anybody could. Would recommend!
