Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I thought this would be a good first machine for my granddaughter, 6 years old. She had been using my machine (with my supervision) and I thought it would be great if we could actually sew side-by-side, now that she doesn't need as much help as she did when we started. She opened it Christmas day and wanted to use it right away to make a small quilt for her dolls. We got it all set up and turned it on. It ran okay for about one minute and then the thread started breaking. It kept breaking every one to two minutes. I thought it was the tension, so I turned the tension knob, nothing happened. No matter how much I turned it, it didn't change the tension at all. Then I thought, maybe the thread that came with the machine was old, so I tried to load my own quilting thread onto one of the empty bobbin spools that came with the machine. That was a nightmare. If you don't have extremely small spools of thread, there's nothing on the machine that will hold a normal size thread spool. Threading the darn thing is also a nightmare. My granddaughter and I were totally disappointed in this product. Don't waste your money! Mrs. B. Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine
