Magic Stitch Handheld Sewing Machine – Portable Mini Stitch Repair | Cord-free battery operated repairs from denim to delicate fabrics – thread spools and accessories included

I only ordered this battery operated hand held sewing machine to take in the upper arms of some t shirts I have that are too wide.At first I found it difficult to manoeuvre but I got the hang of it in the end.you have to place the machine on a hard stable surface to proceed to see,your garment of choice,I don't think it will see big garments etc but little jobs would be quite sufficient. You need two hands to guide the garment you are sewing through the machine.once finished then it's best to sew by hand(needle and thread)an inch to where the sewing machine thread has finished,Why?Well this machine does not sew via a bobbin underneath so no back stitch I'm afraid,thus sewing an inch or so to where the machine thread finishes, you are then able to tie two loose thread ends together and form a knot,this secures the stitching quite well.It has worked on my t shirt arms so far.I don't have any complaints about this machine at all.It comes with an instruction manual so it is very easy to follow.Yes,I like this machine and quite somewhat pleased with purchasing it.

Got this for my grandma to try for when fixing clothes etc. She thought it was good but it is a tad of a gimmick. As useful as it is, if you're going to thread it and use it, you may as well use a proper sewing machine with more options.

A piece of junk. Yes it is Magic.....Magic if you get it to work properly. I only wanted it to match the stitch on jeans bottoms, when my machine packed up after doing one leg.So really bought for one simple job and it couldn't even do that. I did it by hand without hassle in less time it took to get this thing to produce a continuous line of stitches. It does NOT do heavy fabrics like denim. It will stitch single layer denim but will pull stitches out before one gets a chance to tie them off. Also bobbin cap springs off unexpectedly. Also the stupid needle threader is hopeless. This sewing machine is suitable only for light fabrics like tee shirts or thin shirts.

Only used once, on the test piece supplied. Then the needle broke. I replace it but thereafter no stitches would hold regardless of what adjustments I made. Fiddled about with machine for a couple of hours then gave up. All in all a bit of a waste of money. Pros: it is small and lightweight and would be ideal if it worked. Cons: bit of a faff loading material under tension arm; I took the batteries out (repeatedly) as it would be so easy to hit the on button when working with needle and/or thread.

The machine was better than I expected and delivery was prompt. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you!

The product is a great idea if it would actually stitch - it doesn't! The thread comes out at the lightest touch immediately making it not fit for the purpose. Of course: "This item isn't eligible for a return for safety reasons, items containing flammable liquids or gases can’t be returned to Amazon" - as I discovered when attempted to return this piece of rubbish. So, you may actually be better off just throwing £20 straight into the dustbin to avoid disappointment followed by a feeling of being ripped off. Other than that, the product is quite tricky to use and operate (for less experienced users); the delivery was quick and the instructions are actually quite good and easy to follow (which does not really matter as the product, except the sharp needle, is just a rubish plastic toy).

Handy little machine to have

Made to a price but will do the job, threading the needle is a bit fiddly, tool to assist this is not really up to the job and needs to be a bit more robust.
