Great for small projects
Easy to use. Great little machine for the price. We had one similar some years back and it had a peddle with it. This one does not come with one but has a spot to plug one in. We bought this mainly to do small projects and repairs.

A toy not a mini sewing machine
This is should be on in the toy department not the craft department. It is definitely a toy. I have been teaching my 8 year old granddaughter to see and she saw this thing it was one of the small machines bought it. The very next day it went back and we purchased a regular sized machine

    Bought this for my granddaughter and might as well get her an adult one cause this one doesn't work like it should or at all at times. I would not recommend this to anyone.

    Bought as a gift for my daughter
    It works ok with supervision. The guard comes in really great but there are lots of times that the thread has to be fixed. For under $30 you get what you pay for I guess haha. I wish there was another speed other than “fast” and “slow” but it does okay for a first sewing machine.

    I though this gift for my niece would be perfect but it didn't work and kit was incomplete, missing the cords. Don't know if they're not included but it doesn't say that on the box. Didn't work with batteries either. worked for like 5 min. I hope that I just got a defected one. Trading it now.

    I did not like that they did not bring the item out in a bag it was just in his hand.

    My Very Own Sewing Machine
    Great for beginners. My 8 year old granddaughter loves it! It's safe and works well. Definitely recommend for children showing interest in sewing.

    Worst Item Ive Ever Purchased
    If i would have known this sewing machine was going to make my 10 year old cry , I would have never purchased. This is not child friendly, as a 37 yr old ive taken apart a plethera of things and rebuilt them. I've built things and read instructions afterwards just to challenge my abilities. As my daughter set and watched me fight with this machine that she desperately wanted to start her designer business tears fell from her eyes. I've never felt like such disappointment from my baby.

    Does what it's meant for
    I bought this for my 7 year old who always asks me to teach her to sew so I decided to get her her own one that she can use next to me. So this review is mostly based on her experience. She hated that the thread kept coming out of the needle once she tried to start sewing. The speed is slower than a regular sewing machine so that was nice and comfortable for her. She got to make some doll house bedding with the felt and filling that came with it. For me, I love that you don't have to stress and plug it up to the wall to use it. I sometimes need to do quick mending of small hole on their clothes and I'm not in the mood to plug my machine in and sit down at my craft table to use the foot pedal, so I just pick this little machine up and mend things wherever I'm comfortable. Recommended of your little one's first machine and for those small repairs here and there.

    Cute but hard for a kid
    Very difficult for a child to do on their own. I had trouble getting the thing to work properly, and my 10 year old, who is very bright, had trouble as well. Its cute but not worth it. She hasnt used it since around Christmas time

    Don't buy!
    My 3 year old loved it until it abruptly stops working. With fresh batteries, it will sew for a solid 15-20 seconds then it will not work anymore. I have replaced batteries twice since she opened it up for Christmas. Beyond confused and disappointed. Will be returned. It's definitely a cute product but a non fully working product.

    Does not come with needed foot pedal to function.
    My eight-year-old was really excited to use this on Christmas morning but was saddened when we realized it doesn't actually come with the foot pedal but it needs one to operate. I went back to the store a couple days ago to see if I can find a foot pedal separate and there was none at the Radford Virginia store.

    Hard Pass! Chinese Made Junk
    If I could give zero stars, I would. It doesn't turn on, even with brand new batteries. It has spots for both a 6v cord and a foot pedal- neither are included. We followed all instructions, and every single time we did the "manual stitches" as directed (before we knew it didnt work), the thread snapped and came out of the needle. We adjusted the tension, re read and re followed all instructions, and we still came out with thread that snapped under any tension and a dead sewing machine. For the price, I didnt have super high expectations, but I DID expect it to work. It was my daughter's Christmas gift, and the disappointment is real. Pass on this and buy the real deal to teach your kiddo. This isn't worth it even if it's free.

    Do not buy!
    This is junk!! No instructions were included. Luckily I know how to sew but trying to get this machine to sew one line without jamming is impossible. What a way to ruin Christmas morning.
