4.0 out of 5 stars Great for basic sewing, November 30, 2005

If you are looking for a quick little machine for quick little jobs, this is for you. If you just need to crank out some straight stitches to hem or secure something simple, this will work perfectly. I sewed up a duvet cover; worked fine.

PROS: Cheap, small, lightweight, easy to set up. Heck, it even comes out of the box already threaded and ready to go with a spool of white thread!

CONS: It's small, and simple. Not much room for a lot of material to the right of the pressure foot of course, and you must take the sewing slow and steady, never pull. Not versatile, no zig zags or other stuff. Just straight, straight stitch.

Overall: Recommended for the most basic of sewing -- the straight stitch on broadcloth. Don't expect it to be more than it is; you get good value for your thirty bucks, but it ISN'T "as good as" a full sized sewing machine, of course! Go ahead and get this; it will do your small chores as you spend time figuring out which really cool sewing machine you'll spend serious money on...

4.0 out of 5 stars Euro-Pro 1100 The New Dressmaker, January 30, 2005

A Kid's Review

I AM NOT A KID - IN MY MID TWENTIES AND NEWLY MARRIED.
Great little machine. I live in an apartment and I am in need of as much space as I can conserve. This little machine is powerful, compact and does the job of a big machine. I never sewed before, so it took me some time to get up to speed - and this is the machine to do it on. I found that using better thread was very helpful as the threads that came with the machine were not for all sewing jobs. I would recommend getting universal needles to use also. Best suggestion I can give is to be patient and buy a beginner's sewing book for helpful hints. However, I give this little and powerful machine a thums up - I made a slip cover for my sofa and covers for my dining set chairs.

2.0 out of 5 stars For basic sewing or for kids, February 9, 2006

Madison Grey (Fords, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

I could pretty much use this sewing machine for basic stuff..It was obvious that thicker fabric, like denim, wouldn't work well with this machine, and I was right. The really bad thing about it was defintely the fact that the thread was not of good quality, it gets tangled around 40-50% of the time, and there is no way of going "inside" the machine.

I bought the dressmaker thinking I was taking an easy way out and saving a couple of bucks...But to be honest, this is for quick fixs and/or kids. If you have a kid just starting out, then this is for them. If have anything simple to fix, with straight stitching, this is also for you. ANYONE ELSE: SAVE YOUR MONEY and put it towards a sewing machine that'll last long, and that will do the work right!
