Toys and Games Reviews of Alex Toys Sew Fun
Customer Review: Was fun for about 12 hours...
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't write a lot of reviews. Typically I only comment if something is really great or really bad. This is a REALLY BAD review. I bought this for my 9 year old for her birthday. I had debated on whether to put the money ($60 at the store I got it) towards a "real" sewing machine or get this one. I chose poorly.
The first night she had it, it worked ok. It was annoying that everytime you wanted to change pieces of fabric, you had to thread the machine again, because the mechanism holds the thread so tight that you can't simply pull the thread. OK...I can deal with that. My daughter made a few simple pillows for her American Girl doll to practice.
The next morning, my daughter said that the needle broke on the sewing machine. I changed the needle...no problem. But the bobbin had also come loose, so I attempted to bring up the bobbin thread EXACTLY as the manual had told me, and it would not work. I tried a dozen times to get it to work without success.
Then...as I was making another attempt to get the bobbin to work, the hand wheel stopped working and fell off. When I inspected it, I noticed that the threads that grip the pin on the inside of the wheel were comepletly stripped, and that it was also cracked. We DID NOT force anything on this machine. This is just what happened with it in under 12 hours.
Luckily, I was able to return it to the store for a full refund. I think I'm just going to let my daughter use my sewing machine for now, and get one of her own down the road.
