This teeny-tiny little sewing machine/kit gets an easy 5 star from me.  It is extremely handy given its small size and lightweight, I can even store it in a 12"x12" bin with room to spare! Talenti container added for size reference (lol),   It also came with a very complete kit filled with bobbins, thread, replacement needles, a seam ripper, scissors (manual and electric), and more!  I am shakily learning how to sew so this was the perfect price point for me.  If you are a proper seamstress/seamster, this is not going to do it for you, I think.  It is very basic: hand crank, foot pedal, bobbin winder, 2 speeds (fast or slow), and one standard type of stitch. For small items, this works great! However, I think it would not be able to handle heavier-duty fabrics.  As a beginner's set, it has everything you need to get going. BTW - I was a bit skeptical of these electrical sheers but they work marvelously! Added bonus!
