I purchased this machine for basic stitching with my daughter. We were so disappointed when we could not even get one simple hemline out of it! The stitches were sometimes pretty, and sometimes they wouldn't catch the bottom thread at all, and sometimes the needle got jammed. We tried it with different tensions, and different materials, but were never completely successful. The entire process was so aggravating that my daughter declared she'd rather sew by hand!! Next time, I will spend more for something that works.

I accidentally purchased this "sewing genie" because I thought I was buying a "mini-rex machine". However, the seller wrote a note that said this "sewing genie" was a similar version of the mini-rex. Had I read the note carefully I wouldnt've bought this because it is a piece of garbage. In the first 15 minutes I used it, I bent two needles, busted the thread about 5 times and couldn't sew through more than 2 layers of THIN sheets. I am fairly experienced with sewing machines so I was able to mess with it and get it to work eventually after about 30 minutes. I do not recommend this machine for anyone, not even a beginner because it is terrible. It shook so much on the table that I had to get someone to hold it down for me so that the stitches weren't completely crooked. I guess you can't expect much from a $20 machine but I know that there are other $20 machines out there that are SIGNIFICANTLY better than this one. In the end, I was able to sew the sheet I needed to sew but I would've rather paid the seamstress to do it instead of this nightmare.

So I got this machine thinking that I would have an opportunity to teach myself and my daughter some sewing machine basics. Well not even 20 minutes into a simple Halloween costume project, we managed to bend 4 needles and discover that the needle clamp is made of PLASTIC and snapped into pieces after continuous tension adjustments from needle changes. I wish I had seen the other reviews before purchasing this item, since it seams that we are all having similar problems. I never would have bought this item if I knew how bad it was going to be. Spend more on a quality machine.... You get what you pay forcheap junk from China.

Honest reviews on Sewing Genie with BONUS Handstitcher

This machine works once you figure out how to load the bottom bobbin correctly. It was a bit tricky at first and I wanted to give up. It's my first time using a sewing machine.

This thing is not made for heavy duty sewing, but I was able to alter a pair of jeans without a hitch. Overall, I'm pleased with this product. It's cheap and it comes with plenty of thread and accessory pre-spooled bobbins. There's a foot pedal so you're hands are free to guide the fabric while sewing. It comes with an adapter, too.

I enjoyed using this product. But it took time to figure out how to configure the thread & bobbin settings correctly. Not for impatient people.

I've had one of these for a few years and it works great. I don't even remember the last time I used my "real" sewing machine. You do need to fiddle a little with it to get the stitches right but once you get the hang of it it works pretty well. I have even machine washed stuff that I sewed with it and it held on.

Do keep in mind that it only does simple straight sewing. You can do backstitching or zigzags or anything fancy.
