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.

I got this machine about a year ago, and couldn't use it because I broke my hip. When I began to get better - COVID! I loaned it to a friend, an expert seamstress, to make masks. She HATED it. Gave it back. Now I have a friend over trying to help me with it She also is an expert.Threading - IMPOSSIBLE! So hard to get the bobbin thread through. So hard to thread altogether! And then when she tried to raise the foot it came off in her hand.It is a WASTE OF MONEY. Go to the Singer site, or the Brother site and buy a refurbished machine for the same money. It will last a lifetime. I wish I could get my money back!

I purchased this machine to teach myself to sew. This machine is small, about the size of a regular sewing machine and does not come with a case. It comes with well detailed instructions on with threading and overall function of the unit. It also included a pack of accessories. While I originally got this unit to learn with doing simple projects it has no trouble stitching thick fabric, without hesitation. I have now started my second quilt with this machine and am loving every minute of it.

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.PositivesThis 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 improvementThe 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.

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.

Please don’t buy this made very poorly just sucks as a hole

It's a good quality machine

I bought this sewing machine for my middle schooler's birthday in October, and knew the basics of a sewing machine. She was able to set it up and at first it worked great. After watching a crazy amount of videos, she, myself, and my husband tried to replace the bobbin and none of us could get it working. My husband took the machine apart and found a broken piece inside the machine that he was able to fix. Now her pedal does not work. It was disappointing after such great reviews. I searched so many machines and this had the best reviews for a beginning sewing machine, but it just would have been better to pay more for one that isn't constantly breaking.
