Don't expect a "wow " product.

I am disappointed. I watched the video (as always) and this was not the product I received. I was expecting the side wrap to appear on the video. The one I got seems cheap and when I try to use it my spool vibrates and spins erratically. The coil is also wound unevenly, the thread is practically not wound on the lower part. It's all at the top! I adjusted the tension, changed the threading method, and tried different coils and coils. This thing just wasn't worth the $25 I spent. I wasn't…

Pros
  • When using the portable function, the machine requires (2) AA batteries, the machine will automatically turn off when the spool is full.
Cons
  • old

Bad Design

Definitely not for kids to use - I was hoping my kid could use this to make bobbins for me as it's my favorite job. . . It doesn't have enough power to wind the coil efficiently, for some reason it winds in the opposite direction - if it wound the other way it would be much more efficient at accomplishing its goals. And the plug doesn't fit in the box. There's plenty of room inside the case where you could create a cavity to hold the cord and plug, but the company couldn't provide that, meaning

Pros
  • Whether it's sewing or daily practice, every seamstress optimizes her time by having the thread ready. Use this machine to wind bobbins quickly and evenly.
Cons
  • High price

What I received is so light that it causes the weight of the open lid. to flip back. The machine in the video has a storage compartment in the lid. What I received not. The machine in the video has a detachable…

Pros
  • for 120V and will not fit Singer Centaur II or Husqvarna Viking coils.
Cons
  • Not sure
