Michley Handheld Battery-Operated Sewing Machine

1 hand always has to hold it only leaving 1 hand to move the materials as everyone should have already guessed. so needless to say projects that don't need 2 hands to keep materials flowing its good for, quick fixes depends on what they are. butt if ur project has ruffles or bunching materials, this is not for those. So good price for what it is & it does help on some projects so its a 50/50 depending on what u need done. I don't like the position you have to use with the machine, they need to change that for people with hand issues

My expectations: Easy to use; easy to hold; ability to sew thicker pieces of material. For me, not that user friendly, not easy to hold, not enough room to insert material so, can't sew thicker pieces of material. A little tricky to keep the stitches from pulling out. I'll work on the use. As far as holding it, I'll set it on a table to "hold" it. The reason I bought this was to be able to repair cloth bags that have thicker material, and are harder to hand sew. It would cost too much to return it, so...But, it could be good for quick repairs needed in an office environment. Just keep it in a drawer for emergency repairs. As for other types of repairs, buy a thimble, a pack of needles, and a spool of thread.

Really hard to coordinate holding item and fabric. Difficult to put a seem/2 layers of thin fabric under foot: needle doesn't go up high enough. Can't imagine it is able to accommodate leather as pictured on the box! I plan to return

Price was good, but not for this item,,, I needed something to use while traveling, but I had to resort to time tested needle and thread …

This item was nothing I expected. I feel bad because I wasted money on this machine. I read everything I needed to before ordering and I do not remember seeing any where that you had to tie the ends. Not happy with it at all.

I purchased to repair the tongues of my 2yr old's shoes. She pulled them out somehow. I am a seamstress so I thought this would be a perfect solution. To my HUGE disappointment, you can't fit ANY material underneath other than a single thickness of material. I returned it. What good is a travel/hand held sewer if you can't fix anything??? Useless. Just for fun

Bad stopped working after two small work times. Changed batteries N/G. Unit moves up and down once and stops.

u can only fit really thin fabrics. if u want to him a pair of pants forget it. it wont work. this is a very poor product no good.

I have to admit that I was so excited to receive this machine but as soon as i started using it, I realized that it really did not do what it said it did. The mouth opening is not big enough for any of the items that are listed (jeans, velcro etc). So I purchased it for the purpose of sewing sideways. The current machine I have now is great, but it does not do everything I need. So I went with the little sew machine and it did not fix it at all. I am EXTREMELY unhappy with it.

Stitches will not stay in.
