I bought this machine for my daughter as her first machine. It doesn't have a bobbin, and therefore doesn't create a stitch. The first piece of fabric we tried bunched and made odd stitches that came out. It was frustrating and disappointing. My boys liked the sound of the machine, and thought it was fun to push the peddle... Not what I envisioned this machine being used for! I finally took the batteries out and threw it away. If you want a first machine, look for something with a little more umph. This one isnt' it.

I bought this several years ago for my kids. I immediately removed the needle so that my kids would not get injured; I attempted to call the company's phone number for advice (they seemed surprised anyone would want to change a needle -- which suggests it really is not for use), but I eventually was able to by using a wrench to pop it out. After being dropped on the floor, it certainly has shown its age -- anything that can break of, has already (the handwheel, the presser foot). It is a fun item for someone to pretend to sew on, as a model sewing machine, but I don't think it is an appropriate choice for a real sewing machine. It's far too small with too few features.

This machine was a piece of junk and truly a waste of my money, time and patience trying to get it to work. Very flimsy, not easy to use. I was very disappointed since this was suppose to be for a 5 year old. Would not recommend unless you are a seamstress and already know how to work a sewing machine.

I was really thinking it would work, rinky dink as it was. At first it seemed to but it would not sew a stitch. It moved but that is it. I felt it was safe for my daughters first machine. It was more than safe... Unfortunate that it is not even worth the $14 low sticker price. I would rather they made it sturdier and charged more. I got her a bobbin type, crossing my fingers that the Bratz machine is better...
