Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine
Customer Review: Worth the buck.
Summary: 5 Stars
The sewing machine is a single stitch machine. Given I used one of those mechanical single switch ones from the prehistoric past when I grew up back in India, I could easily get the hang of it. It sews thicker fabric than I expected, though I wouldn't try jeans. The tension is tricky, the thread broke the first time, but then I adjusted it and it hasn't broken again in the little while that I spent on it. Looks intuitive though.
The manual has one thing wrong. Setting up the bobbin, it says rotate the handle clockwise to make the needle pick up the thread; but counter clockwise was what worked for me.
Likewise on the bobbin winder; it took me a little time to figure that one out. You need to press the little bobbin winder tip in and twist it slightly counter-clockwise to make the bobbin winder pop out. Likewise, once done press it in, and twist it slightly clockwise to lock it back in the recessed position.
Aside from that, this is a simple bare-bones sewing machine. Not sure how long it will last in my hands - bought it to fit/shape some of the shirts that I have esp since ready-made garments these days seem to be made for people who're broader at the middle, whereas being thinner at the middle than the shoulders, those look sick on me :(. Hope this machine will help me accomplish that purpose. Giving it a 5 star since it's worth its buck, and does what it promises to do.
