SINGER MX231 Lightweight & Portable Sewing Machine with Accessory Kit & Foot Pedal | 97 Stitch Applications, LED Light & 1-step Buttonhole | Great for Crafts & Mending

Although the instructions are atrocious....we printed out the user's manual and it works perfectly!Already saved $ repairing and hemming cloths myself :)

Very easy to use

Súper buena , se las recomiendo un 100 por ciento

At $140, this isn't going to blow your mind away, but it has all the basic creature comforts. Bobbin spooling, light, pedal, auto threader, thread cutter, etc. are all included.The only issue is while this is touted as a beginner's machine, there is no accompanying instruction manual, and the quick start guide is difficult to understand. It's 2022, and for a company to point you to downloading a pdf manual rather than have instructional videos is beyond me. Baby car seat makers sell their products in this price range, and instructional videos are everywhere.That gripe aside, I found the mx231 easy to use once I figured out how to properly set up the bobbin case (once again, the quick start instructions were frustrating to understand and I relied on a third party video). Threading it properly allowed for a perfect straight stitch at factory settings for a few pair of pants I was hemming for my kid.I haven't sewn in about since middle school, but this was pretty easy to pick up and work with. It's not going to blow your mind like a professional model, but does the trick. I bent a needle going through a fold with a thicker seam, and it got stuck a few times at seams when hemming. That's to be expected at this price range, and I'll be upgrading to heavier needles.The only major thing I would want changed is for the hand wheel to have a better grip, like ridges or similar to help you power through tougher seams when you need it. As is, the smooth plastic and lack of hand holds makes it hard to work with when reverse stitching to finish up, as well as free the needle when you need it.All in all though, this is worth the price since hemming costs ~$25/pair near me, and our family will have a lot to alterations to do. Good job, Singer!!

The wife wanted a sewing machine and I bought her this singer. It’s portable and seems to be steady on the table. Singer is a trusted name for sewing machines, at least when I was young. She said it has many features women will like. Zig zag, stitch this bobbin that and so on and so forth. She recommends this machine to all.

I wanted a pretty machine, as well as, one that was easy to use. This one is it!!!

Where do I even begin with the SINGER MX231 Sewing Machine? This so-called "great for beginners" machine left me with more frustration than fulfillment. 👎🤬First off, the 97 Stitch Applications promise versatility, but in reality, it's just overwhelming. It's like having too many options on a menu – confusing and unnecessary. For a beginner, simplicity would be more appreciated. 🤯🍽️The $209.99 price tag had me expecting a seamless sewing experience, but alas! The value for money is questionable. It's like paying for a gourmet meal and receiving fast food quality. 💸🍟The "Simple & Great for Beginners" claim is misleading. The learning curve is steeper than anticipated. It's like trying to learn advanced calculus when all I wanted was basic arithmetic. 📚🤔The Two-Day FREE Returns offer is a silver lining, but the hassle of repackaging and returning this disappointment is a headache I didn't sign up for. It's like being stuck with buyer's remorse. 📦😩As for the accessories, the Garment Presser Feet Kit and Machine Carrying Case feel more like add-ons to distract from the machine's shortcomings. It's like putting a bow on a poorly wrapped gift. 🎁👀In conclusion, the SINGER MX231 Sewing Machine falls short of its promises. If you're a beginner looking for a hassle-free sewing experience, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. This machine might leave you with more frustration than satisfaction. #SINGERDisappointment #SewingMachineRegret

I bought this machine specifically for sewing knits with its stretch stitches, as my “daily driver” is a Singer 301 that only does straight stitching. So far, this machine has worked pretty well for me with only a few hiccups. I think the instructions could better explain that to access the blue stitches, you need to continue to turn your stitch length dial counterclockwise PAST the 0 setting to get to the S1 setting. The self threading needle has been hit or miss for me in actually working, but that’s not a big deal for me. I have yet to figure out how (if) to adjust the presser foot pressure, and my fabric has been sucked into the throat plate several times when backstitching at the edge which is obviously very frustrating. I have experienced the bobbin thread breaking/bunching underneath, but found it was due to the thread coming out of place in the bobbin case (perhaps from stitching too fast?). Simply removing and reloading the bobbin solved the problem for me. While it doesn’t sew quite as smoothly as my vintage machine, overall this was well worth the price of the Prime Day deal. I’m not a professional seamstress, but I do make a lot of things for the home, baby accessories, and more recently, apparel; I think this machine will be more than sufficient to handle those tasks. I’ve made several pieces for my kids so far and hope it continues to perform well for years to come.
