This little machine CAN handle thicker fabrics if one just takes a little more time and doesn't sew 'pedal-to-the-floor'. I had no problem sewing soft, pliable buckskin. No, it has no sewing light and yes, it is ultra-lightweight, but it is very easy to use, thread, and wind the bobbin. I bought it strictly to take on trips but find it so easy to use for quick repairs, etc, that I reach for it first now. I would buy another.

Actually a decent quality little hummer. Was cheaper to buy than drive (gas/time) to storage to get my regular machine for this one straight stitch job. Notes: 1 stitch type - straight. 1 stitch length - medium (too big/long if you ask me.) Threading is easy, but is very difficult to control tension so you don't end up with a mess. A lot of trial and error for each fabric density is required. No zigzag (wasn't expected, but noting it). Reverse is push button easy. Foot pedal is physically light... Does it work and worth it for last minute straight stitch in an emergency? Yes. But, it requires that you play with it and get to know the machine. Good for children learning to sew? No. Don't be cheap when learning or teaching to sew! Find a good used home machine (DAV/Good Will/Salvation Army) and have it tuned. This is NOT a learning machine.Read full review

Tried this one when the little handheld sewing machine broke, and managed to hem some camo shorts with my "Lil' Sew and Sew." There's a steep but short learning curve for we who know nothing of sewing machines. When you get the knack of threading the needle, you order extra wire needle threaders to replace the ones that break; you turn the handwheel backward once so the needle can pick up the bottom thread; and you draw the top thread between the presser foot arms and off to the right with the bottom thread. Raise the needle and slip the material under the presser foot, then REMEMBER to let the presser foot down. Takes practice to sew a straight line, but when you get it right the resulting stitches hold well. I'm so hot to trot now that I'm gonna try to replace a zipper! There are scads of online tutorials showing how to use the machine and how to do various kinds of sewing with it – without them I would have been been lost; but with them, it's a very practical little device, and darn convenient. Just REMEMBER to let the presser foot down. There's a slew of these machines offered online. Some have the Lil' Sew and Sew logo, and some don't. Some have a thread gutter, and some don't. Some have different colors, or are shaped differently. They all claim to be the same model LSS202, so either they are earlier and later versions by the same manufacturer, or several Chinese manufacturers of all piled into the same pedicab and are selling knockoffs. The one I have even looks different than its picture on the box, but if it keeps on sew and sewing as it has to now, I shall have no complaint. Just REMEMBER to let the presser foot down.Read full review

I already knew how slow, & annoying sewing the traditional way was long before purchasing this product. Now that I have this I can truly say that it was worth every dollar spent to get it. The best features in my opinion would have to be the compact size which makes it weigh almost like a pillow. Plus it's cordless since it runs on battery, but I can't say how long the lifespan is for the batteries since it depends on how often you use it combine with whichever brand battery you choose to use. The only downside I came up with (& it's really not a major one anyway), is the instruction manual which doesn't do a great job explaining how to use it. You can always find an instructional video on youtube which I did (a great one in fact), but you shouldn't be required to in the first place...oh well.Read full review
Very simple portable small sewing machine. Good for small jobs and handy to work with. Easy to operate. It came already set up. That's a plus for beginners like me. It was threaded , so I was able to try it out, right from the box, after reading the instructions. Perfect, great buy
