DUTISON Portable Sewing Machine, Mini Cordless Handheld Stitch Electric Household Tool for Fabric, Clothing, Kids Cloth, Home Travel Use

I think my handheld sewing machine may have been used because it was already threaded and a patch of fabric had been sewn on and attached to the machine. I own a full size sewing machine and wanted something for simple repairs. This unfortunately will not suffice. It is not very durable. Pieces kept falling off every time I attempted to use it. It is a loud little monster of a machine but it gives a single little stitch that is so flimsy and easy to unravel. It is not very easy to control. It is all over the place. I can't sew a straight hem with many of the materials I tried. It was a hopeless case, I need a drink after trying this product. Based on all these reviews, I am assuming these may be paid reviews, because they cannot be raving about the same product I used. No way!

It’s not easy for use at the first time. But after I read the instruction very carefully and search video on YouTube how to use this, everything is easy. Easy for use.

DUTISON Handheld Sewing Machine is a great concept but even after watching over 7 YouTube videos I still can't figure out how to use this and complete a project. At first I couldn't figure out how to stop the thread from unravelling after sewing..a few videos later, I realized you had to tie the last ring off or the whole thread would pull right out. Since a normal sewing machine does this for you, I did have a hard time with closing the ring before everything unravelled. I used a few different materials but this won't work with material that is too thin/light or thick/heavy. Perhaps to some this is an easier alternative than bringing out the big sewing machine but to me it was easier to hand sew.

Awkward to use because I found it difficult to hold the machine and the fabric steady while sewing. Also only stitches are top stitch because there's no bobbin so the stitch is easily torn out if it's not secured, which kind of defeats the purpose of using the machine if you have to go back and hand sew to secure it. I've found it slightly useful for basting before I stitch with my regular machine.

I was so excited to get this lil mini sewing machine just for it to come in and be a disappointment... when it sews the threading is very loose and soon as you take it off the machine the thread comes right out ... & then on top of that it doesn’t sew in a nice pattern it goes small small big & its just tacky ... i tried everything and nothing i did would keep the threading to not slide right out .. ohh and it doesn’t go through thick material. Or semi thick . Its just not worth it at all . I wouldn’t recommend this product to anybody. You are better off getting a real sewing machine .

Overall this is a really great sewing kit, that is great to have on hand. It comes with all the accessories needed. It has clear picture instructions that are easy to follow and set up. It works really well and is great for quick go to jobs or repairs. The only down side was some of the accessories felt a little less quality and the spade needle that came with it was rusty. I would say it is good to have on the go, in a pinch or for traveling.

Very happy with this purchase.. directions were surprisingly easy to follow- nothing extra needed to be purchased. Lightweight and comfortable to handle... and sees a nice strong seam - at an unbelievable price.

Unfortunately this is a cheap item that doesn't work properly. I tried on a pillowcase, so very lightweight fabric, and it seemed to work to make a straight stitch about two feet long. However, after looking underneath I saw that it had skipped several sections so the stitch was not secured and pulled out immediately. It seems to jam easily as well and after trying it twice it stopped working. It is a piece of junk....don't waste your money.
