I am incapable of re-threading the units needle even with the threading tool The eye on the needle is so tiny I cannot see it clearly with a 4x magnifier glass. The thread does not feed freely and broke the first dozen stitches.... Not worth the money and trouble to send it back!

This product is the worse product I've ever bought from Amazon or anywhere else. It simply does not work AT ALL. I opened the box and read the user manuel over and over and over. I did step by step to make it work and it simply did not react. It's like if this was a toy. I regret paying $19.99 for this. I am extremely dissappointed with Amazon for having these type of vendors/products.
I will most likely not purchase anything from Amazon again after this.

If you have no experience with sewing don't purchase, the instructions will not help you.

My mother just purchased this machine and loves it! The batteries run down quickly though. I contacted Smartek to inquire about their cord for this machine. Here's the Kicker: The cord costs $5.00 and shipping/handling is $6.99. You could almost buy another machine. The portability of this machine is what's important for my Mother so she won't be purchasing a cord!

I have no experience using a sewing machine and rely solely on the instructions to route the thread. The machine came in with the thread already routed but I have to change the color. After spending like an hour figuring out why it doesnt work (it will jam and the thread kept coming off the needle), I tried to insert the thread from the opposite side (opposite from the instruction), then it works. But after that, I spend quite some time to adjust the dial to get the upper and bottom seam nice. The battery cover is very hard to open. It's almost like trying to rip it off. I think the latch will break soon.
I want to give it 1 star but since it works nice after the thread is routed properly and the dial is adjusted, I add 1 more star.
