SINGER Stitch Quick + Portable Cordless Mending Machine Bundles (Two Thread Stitch Quick +)

Too many small sewing jobs piling up around the house and we needed something to help out. Searched online and eventually found this Singer Stitch Quick. Battery operated, handheld, has an actual bobbin, and the online, well-made video instructions via YouTube was the final selling point.The included printed instructions are OK, decent quality, BUT the online training videos have been all the difference between defeat and victory for getting all the pants around here finally hemmed in a presentable way. We would recommend that you practice on some throw away materials before trying on your vintage pieces! It is a little finicky at first, but once you get the hand of it, it works good enough (for us).Is it a substitute for an expensive floor machine? Well, no, but we don't have room for that, nor do we need that apparently for what we are doing.Ours came with all the parts and has worked great on several small jobs, AND most importantly, didn't cost us an arm and a leg.

only works with electrical power, battery operation did not work and it does not come with the power adapter. Read instructions completely table top fuction mode is hard to control, the needle is in constant motion. Not a Toy , not suitable for a child to use. threading is a pain, and i would replace teh thread with your own the thread provided breaks easlily so you are constanly having to re thread the machine. whith some pratice the stiches are smooth and even over all it did the job.

This does not sew. At all. I spent hours re-threading the WORST DESIGN EVER. Seriously, not even a channeled to run the thread through, just a series of 6 holes. The longest I got was an inch and a half before the system jammed, and once I pulled the fabric out the entire threading fell off, held loosely in a single stitch hole that actually linked with the lower thread.Worst buy ever, this isn't worth the brand name that they out on it, let alone the plastic. This is worse than a child's toy sewing machine.

Fast shipping, great for beginners

I was so excited when I received this hand held sewing machine. My intent was to use it for the handheld option, but was pleased to see a desktop option. I can see where it would be really useful IF someone could get it to work properly… I couldn’t for as many hours as I tried, read and re-read the instructions, I couldn’t get it to do more than one stitch in either mode- hand held or desktop.1. I read and re read the instructions and tried setting the thread tension ( tried multiple tensions), threading the machine and placement of the bobbin-once I tried to sew, all of the thread would come loose on the machine and the thread would NOT stay threaded in the needle even though I let out more than 12 inches allowance.2. Machine would jam up after only one stitch.3. The machine would only do ONE stitch and then the thread was just sitting loosely on topof the practice fabric provided while trying to sew or machine would jam. The thread would come out of the needle at that point every single time I tried to sew. It was so frustrating having to rethread the needle after EVERY attempt. I finally had to give up after several hours of trying… so I’m returning it. I ended up just hand sewing ( not pretty but it got stitched up) the thing and reason I got the hand held sewing machine for.

Purchased this for a hobby that isn't clothing. Over the years I would simply hand stitch stuff as necessary. But, being an uber gadget-guy, I finally asked myself why I was spending and hour hand stitching when a machine would do it in a minute. This handheld Singer Stitch Quick+ is an awesome gadget.Out of the box it was fully assembled, threaded and apparently tuned. There was scrap piece of cloth still inserted in the foot which suggests that it was tested before shipping. My first try at machine stitching was successful but clearly the work of an amateur. A couple more practice runs and I was starting to impress myself.Nevertheless, while the included instructions are comprehensive, I found the wording difficult to easily understand. There are some good instructional videos available online and they were quite helpful when in comes to threading, spooling, how to use the accessories etc. Accessories included attachments for bobbin winder and spool extender, a threader, extra needles and two extra bobbins (white and black thread).I like this little machine and while I don't need to stitch all that often, my chore will definitely be more easily and quickly accomplished.

I had hopes. After all, its Singer. But no. It worked okay for the first hour...then the nightmare started. First, the thread tensioner is garbage. Even all the way loose, it holds the thread too tight! On top of that, the included thread is also total garbage, I have spent more time (AND THREAD!) having to rethread the machine because the thread broke (and that's without even using the useless tensioner! While stiching, the poor thing chokes and skips frequently for no reason that I can see. Also, when trying to begin stiching, the motor isn't strong enough to get things moving. I have to pull up on the presser foot for a moment to get the machine to start moving. All these issues are while using the recommended ac adapter...(I dont dare trying to use batteries after all this!) This is my second machine, because the first had to be returned because it wouldn't work at all! I am so unhappy that I wasted my money on this.
