iBoost Portable Sewing Machine, Double-Thread, Cutter, and Foot Pedal, 2-Speed

I bought this to make my own newborn photo props & outfits. It’s perfect!UPDATE: It’s perfect for occasional use. I used this almost everyday for craft sewing costume clothing & bonnets & it finally - literally - fell apart last night. I’m not mad tho. It performed like a champ before it broke.I’d say if you plan on doing a lot of sewing, invest in a machine that can handle it.RIP iBoost.

I bought this for my father, who is 76 almost 77 in just a few days He really liked it he loved the idea it wasn't bulky and heavy. All he needed was a simple sewing machine to hem his work slacks. I am so glad that I made my daddy's life a little easier. But most of all I'm on a tight budget and the price was perfect. Oh did I mention that he can has a choice of using the foot peddle or not. Easy to set it up to, it comes with everything you will need. ( EASY INSTRUCRUCTIONS TO)

I didn't even get to the 2nd side of making a pillow before it broke !!! Raised the presser foot and I heard a snap thought maybe it was a just snaping in position !!! Presser foot now twist and won't lock down which broke the needle !!! There's also no lamp !!!

It's small and extremely affordable so you really shouldn't have your expectations set to be receiving a singer quality type of unit. That said it's worth the cost and I was able to get more than it's moneys worth after just a few repairs to some articles of clothing that I had lying around (and some camping gear).

So far I have only used it for one clothing repair, but it works as advertised. Easy to set up, used AC adaptor, handy to have bobbins already loaded with thread. I think it is amazing!

I ordered this for my daughter as a transition machine before a regular size sewing machine. Although I ordered it in May, we just are now getting around to using it and are past the date to return it. It does sew a straight line but there is no backstitch. The tension does nothing and the underside stitch does not even stay together. It was a complete waste of money! The directions claim you can sew things like pillows and make clothing repairs. Not possible!

I live in a tiny home, with neither the room nor the desire for a full-size sewing machine. I'm a weaver, and I wanted a way to sew across the cut ends of inkle-woven strips (along with occasional light mending jobs). This little machine gets the job done, without taking up a lot of space.

This is a Christmas gift. It looks like a great value and perfect gift. My 6 year old granddaughter asked for this sewing machine
