This is a basic sewing machine offered from Tesco. It probably isn't suitable for a professional dressmaker but for the student, odd buttonhole or zip etc. its perfect.

This sewing machine is certainly not a looker in white plastic but at less than £50 it certainly is a bargain and one of the cheapest machines on the market..

The sewing machine comes well packaged and the instructions are easy to follow. Set up is easy using the instruction manual and takes no longer than 10 minutes. This machine is reasonably small and portable. It also isn't too heavy to lift from table to cupboard.

As for features, this sewing machine isn't particularly overrun with them but it does have a few...
+ It will stitch forwards and backwards in a number of different stitch types i.e. zigzag.
+ It will make a buttonhole.
+ It will sew on buttons with the extra foot provided.

Sewing is relatively easy as long as the sewing machine is set up properly. The needles the machine come with are pretty strong but can be replaced as needed with any sewing machine needle. There is plently of room to move the garment you're sewing around and the foot lifts a good height to fit different fabrics underneath.

Overall this is a great 1st machine and worth puchasing if you have the odd sock to fix or top to take in. For more complex job buy something better or see a professional. Great product though.
