Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rex Mini Sewing Machine RedCustomer Review: Ideal, takes some getting used to but works great for what it does! Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to do simple projects for baby (flannel wipes etc) and it worked great. When you take it out of the box take a good look at how it's set up through all the thread guides and read the instruction booklet for tips on how to thread the bottom bobbin etc so you don't get too frustrated. It took a little bit of dexterity and patience but we got it working just fine. I used rechargeable batteries in it and the battery life and strength of sewing was good for me. If you have the right kind of adapter, be careful because it works about 8 times faster off the adapter! Watch your fingers. Only does one stitch, one way, but reverse stitching is easy if you lift the presser foot and move the material backwards by hand. Stitches were pretty firm.
HOWEVER! Treat this baby gently. Don't pull on the needles. We might have gotten a little over-ambitious with our crafts and half way while we were trying to sew three layers of flannel together and had a misfeed that also broke the needle against the plate...it seems to have jerked something out of alignment in the lower bobbin holder and we weren't able to repair it. If you are mechanically inclined though, and have issues, you can easily take it apart by unscrewing the 6 screws and unsnapping the halves to expose all the cogs and wheels inside. (We did but still couldn't figure out exactly what was out of whack)
Overall, we had a little bit of bad luck with ours but would buy another (if we didn't end up getting an actual machine:) and be much more careful with it.
