singer Child's sewing machine
Great starter machine. Had some trouble threading it the first time, but it works really well and is very safe for young ones to learn on.

we tried this item as well as the Discovery Item and both have the same flaws...very difficult to use. Me Mum-in-law is an expert, and she says have them start on a real machine...I should have listened. My 6 year old wants to learn to sew clothes for her dolls, as well as become a quilter. I was really hoping that this unit would have the safety features that allow...

This review is from: Singer LockStitch 2000 Sewing Machine (Toy)
we tried this item as well as the Discovery Item and both have the same flaws...very difficult to use. Me Mum-in-law is an expert, and she says have them start on a real machine...I should have listened. My 6 year old wants to learn to sew clothes for her dolls, as well as become a quilter. I was really hoping that this unit would have the safety features that allow for a child----and it does, but it is so difficult to operate for an adult, that there is no way the child will figure it out. Threading is very difficult, even for small adult hands, so I simply don't see how a child will be able to operate this. Better to listen to Me Mum in Law, a wonderful and talented woman; a Master of Crafts. Use a smaller adult machine and use caution and oversight. Besides, your daughter will love the one on one interaction with a precious Mom, Grammie, or Auntie! (As a dad, I just don't cut it in this area!)

Get a regular machine, November 25, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Singer LockStitch 2000 Sewing Machine (Toy)
This is a horrible introduction to sewing! It is impossible to thread and keep threaded - basically it embodies everything that is difficult about sewing with NONE of the fun! I wish we had put the money toward an adult sewing machine because while I dont mind helping her, she definitely loses interest watching me try to thread it over and over! Dont buy this!

So cheap it doesn't work, December 27, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Singer LockStitch 2000 Sewing Machine (Toy)
Two adults, including an experienced sewer, could not get the machine to stitch properly. The problem is with the thread tensioners, the spool tensioner can't be tuned finely enough one 1/8th turn clockwise and it is way to tight, the otherway its too loose. The bobbin tensioner is so loose it doesn't tension at all.
I am surprised Singer would put out a product this low quality.

Would be great if it worked, January 19, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Singer LockStitch 2000 Sewing Machine (Toy)
Maybe you will have better luck then we did. Our machine did not work. We even took it to someone who repairs small electronics and they said that it is not repairable. So we are returning it. I liked the idea of the slower speed and shild safe foot guard. But this bobbin casing is loose and does not allow it to sew, it just jams up. Very frustrating.

Buyer beware., January 1, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Singer LockStitch 2000 Sewing Machine (Toy)
My daughter (7) really wanted this sewing machine. We got it home, unpacked it, finished the stitch on the little blue cloth that comes already sewn and then proceeded to make one of the projects. Well, that's where the fun STOPPED. The stitch wouldn't hold (it wouldn't even stitch). The needle would go through, but it didn't make a stitch. We re-threaded the needle (which is nearly impossible using the provided tool and given the fact that the needle doesn't come up high enough to have a straight shot through), and tried to re-thread the bobbin, but the bobbin thread would not go where it was supposed to (the directions seem vaguely clear, if not contradictory, but following them does not produce the results they promise). I spent about 90 minutes looking for additional help online, and trying over and over to re-thread the needle and bobbin, all to no avail. It broke my daughter's heart to tell her it was going back. This is a poorly built waste of $$.
