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

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 was bought for my eight year old as a Christmas present .First of all its very hard to do the bobbin thread you just have to get creative and push the thread through as the needle will NEVER pick it up .Secondly the stitches are not that great either but wasn’t a deal breaker as it was intended for learning . Now it’s less than two months after Christmas and it’s not stitching the fabric at all . Watched all the videos that is associated with this machine via Amazon and YouTube and to no avail. This was not abused cause I’m an experienced seamstress and and each time she used it was always supervised. So to the next intended customer Do Not Buy , don’t waste your money ,I’m not getting mine back , not worth the frustration and disappointment of my eight year old .

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!

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 tried pulling the bobbin up nothing I did worked I looked at every tutorial they posted and even others and nothing worked broke the needle trying and low-key cried I was SO excited just for it to be so difficult and the instructions on the machine were super dificult

It is a small and portable sewing machine, very easy to use, great size for beginners and kids. I am teaching my 9 years old niece to use this, she is making her doll's skirt now, and she is enjoying the time on making pretty her DIY clothes. I use this machine for repairs and simple DIY projects, this one meets all my meeds, there is no problem for me to use it so far.

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. Positives This 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 improvement The 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.

The video that accompanies this sewing machine is priceless. I have no idea what I'm doing and every time something comes up I watch the video and I figure it out. I'm not saying it's a breeze. But, pretty close. You just have to be a patient and pay attention. It doesn't do all the work for you. But I'm making a quilt and it's going. I would totally recommend this for someone who has no idea how to sew but can pay attention and learn from the video. I'm not one who learns from reading. If you are there are instructions included as well.
