SINGER QUICKFIX MEND MACHINE

I've purchased several of these machines the past two summers and will purchase more this summer. Granted, the machine is dinky, but it is functional. I offer 'quilt camp' to young girls, 8-10, from my neighborhood. They come to my house from 9-noon every day for one week. At the end of the week they each have a COMPLETED lap quilt. I charge them $50. With the extra $10, I build them a little tool box with scissors, thread, seam ripper and anything else I think of. They do all of the piecing and binding on these little machines. They do the quilting on my long arm. They take the machines home at the end of the week and use it for other projects. As far as I know, ALL of the machines are still operational. Would I like them to have a better machine? You bet. But, for the price of this machines, it is well worth it. So for those that are bad-mouthing this machine, spend more money and get a better one....

Only officially used it once for very light duty work and then it broke. COMPLETE WASTE!

Product is good . Just a little problem with the pedals but the office agents was very efficient and great people in fixing my issues. Very good services.

I bought this machine for my 9-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. So far it seems to be a very good fit for her. At first I thought the "low/high" selection would be better than the foot peddle for a child; however, when she used it, we both like the foot peddle better. She moved her eyes away from the needle in order to switch from "low" to "off." That made us both nervous. With the foot peddle, she never takes her eyes off the needle. The foot peddle stays at a consistent speed; not too fast.

I don't know what those low reviews are about, but I just stitched together an entire convertible top cover with little to no experience. Well, my mom had a larger Singer which was all heavy metal with a box full of stitch pattern cogs and I watched her sew so many things including clothes for me. To step on the pedal was like driving for a kid. Well, now I have kids and I like to customize the fit of my clothing. I have been hand-stitching everything lately, but wanted to have a longer lasting stitch. Amazon is amazing: I had the idea on the weekend to make a custom convertible top cover, ordered on Monday and today, Wednesday night in 2 hours I was able to cut, stitch together an entire convertible top cover. Like a lot of reviews, there are plenty of fakes. But I am a reasonable person= I don't expect it to sew through more than 2 layers of cloth or a denim seam. When you get to a thick part, manually crank the wheel. If it is too hard, then skip a bit over and manually crank again. It works. The original bobbin had a knot in the middle and that snapped my top thread. Not the machines fault. All those slightly misfitting clothes are my next project. Don't forget all the kids clothes you can hem. I haven't even wound a bobbin yet! Clothing 'made in China' can now be 'customized in the USA!' Awesome, like the watch tool kit I bought here.

The machiene did not sew at all! The bobbin compartment was loose and did not send the thread up.After calling customer service, the Singer asked me to return the product but, I had to pay $5.00 for the box and packing.Hope they send a machiene that has been quality tested this time!! Very disappointing coming from a company like Singer!!!

Small, Easy to use, Tough little worker!The Quickfix Mend Machine does way more than mend items; it sews though multiple layers of thick flannel, has 8 different stitches to play with, and comes with a foot petal, working light and a small storage container. I was a beginner to sewing but since I bought this machine, I've made 8 pairs of pajama bottoms and I'm starting my first quilt! I could not be happier! The manual book helps learn how to use the machine and answers every question I had. Quickfix is a great value and so affordable!You will not be disappointed.

I bought this item as a christmas present for my 11 year old. I actually know how to sew and have a larger machine but I wanted to have something of her own. Right out of the box we threaded it and started sewing a simple straight stitch on normal thickness fabric and the thread bunched up and the presser foot snapped off the machine. I did everything I could find a replacement foot. That is not possible. The whole machine has to be replaced. I didn't even bother trying to return it or cash in on the warranty because the shipping was prohibitive. Needless to say I threw it out and bought my girl an upgraded Brother machine with replaceable presser feet.
