You get what you pay for
Ordering was a breeze, we got faster shipping and it arrived on time.
The product itself it cheap quality. It jams constantly, the pedal doesn't work. The dial on the right side to drop the needle can barley be spun because it doesnt stick out to grab on to.
It comes with a pillow to make which was fun.. no instructions but we figured it Out.

too light weight
I was helping my grand son but was unable to adjust the tension s which meant it would not sew properly. This machine is so light weight it moves too easily on the table. Maybe the manufacture could put rubber grippers on the bottom?
I am returning this machine.

For what it is, it worked as expected.
My 8 year old granddaughter loved the sewing machine and with some help from her mother, she did make the pillow. There are issues with the machine, just because it is a child's. All in all, it was a big hit and they do plan on using it to make some other small projects.
I do have to say I was disappointed to see how much the price dropped after my purchase and some not so good reviews. Makes me wonder.

Did not work
Ordered this for my 8 year old grandson. Mom, grandpa and I all tried to get it to work, but the bobbin thread kept jamming.
Returned it for a refund.

sewing machine
From other reviews I see that others have the same problem we had. I bought this for my granddaughter. She was so excited. It did not work out very well. The bobbin tension never quite worked. She sewed a whole line with no bobbin thread even though it was pulled through like it should be at the top. I worked with it to try to remedy the problem. I never could get it to sew right. It would only sew the top not the bobbin thread. Therefore the thread could be pulled out easily and the pillow project was not finished. I will update if I can get it to work correctly.

Very simple and easy for lititle girls.
My 9 yr granddaughter had a good time making a rice pad as her first project. She was a little intimidated at the start, but was a pro within an hour, and able to use it without adult help.

Does not work
This machine does not sew. We have threaded the bobbin and the spool correctly. Even if it sewed poorly, I would be happy. But it doesn't keep the thread in the cloth. It's just laying on top of it.

Best gift ever my granddaughter loved it she’s already made several items including the one it came with. This sewing machine is exactly like the adult version easy to use and light weight. She loved it.

This product was too difficult to use for sewing the simple project included.
We were very disappointed with this product and will return it. The machine was too difficult to use for sewing the simple pillow project included. While the tension seemed easy to adjust, it was not. It was a birthday gift for my granddaughter and because it was so difficult to use, she was very frustrated. We finally got out her aunt's sewing machine and my granddaughter made the pillow with ease. This is the first time I have had a product from Mind Ware that I feel I must return.

Not kid friendly
This product is not kid friendly. My 9 year old granddaughter could not keep the machine threaded. At first she could not get it to sew evenly. Was very frustrating to both her and to me as I have sewed for years and could not keep it threaded. Do not recommend this item for
