I see a lot of comments saying their machine doesn't work and it's a waste of money. As someone who has spent over five years painstakingly handsewing /everything/ because I'm not able to buy a sewing machine yet, this thing is amazing to me. Yes, it only allows for thin fabric and the small area means it works best for hems rather than intricate sewing; BUT if that means 50% of what I would normally handsew can be done by this machine then that's amazing! I did have some trouble understanding the instructions, mainly because the pictures are so tiny you can't make out what it the machine/hand/fabric/etc, but this video completely allowed me to figure out what I wasn't understanding. Maybe the people commenting about machines that don't work properly have ones that are broken? But mine works great and I'm so happy my fiancé found it for me. I made an apron yesterday and what took me over half an hour to handsew one of the straps last night took me ten minutes to sew the other this morning with the machine. It's not perfect and I'm not trying to say it's magical, but it really is nice to use when I can.
I came here thinking the reason mine wasn't working was because I threaded it wrong. Now I see I did it right and this video is exactly the same as the poorly written directions that came with it. Mine won't sew at all, just run holes over the fabric too fast for me to possibly control. I'm better off hand sewing my hem then relying on this.
I am glad to find this, the machine translated manuals in "local languages" were completely hopeless gibberish and the English language manual is hidden from the internet apparently only accessible for people with devices that can decipher QR codes.
While I can definitely see where people may have a problem, It’s worked great for my application. I’m currently stitching together two pieces of netting to throw over a peach tree and it seems to be working great. I’m going to double or maybe triple up the stitches to help prevent it from unstitching itself. Seems to be working great so far
No matter how many times I try, there are always gaps on the reverse side which unravel the entire seam. I’m so frustrated! This video was much more helpful than the directions that came with it, but I fear now that it’s not me doing something wrong… I managed to figure out how to knot the end but the gaps in the middle I can’t do anything about 😭
