White SC20 Sew Cute Battery/AC Sewing Machine

But as a frantic mother who needed to make her daughter a "coif" for school Colonial Day, this machine, found at AC Moore crafts, saved my life. For someone who's hands never touched a sewing machine before, it was easy enough to figure out how to use.

Despite coming un-threaded here and there, it stitched up a slightly messy and un-even little white cap with hems, that my daughter---who knows how undomestic I am, proclaimed "great".

Will it make a dress? Probably not. But I look forward to now being able to hem kids pants that are too long for them. :)

If you order this sewing machine, be aware that the company says there is NO WARRANTY, and NO PARTS are available. Think twice before purchasing one at a flea market, unless all parts and instructions are present.

My daughter got a White SC-20 for Christmas from Santa. I hoped that this machine would be of the same quality as White's line of sewing machines and sergers, however I was disappointed beyond belief. The machine is made of cheap plastic, including the foot pedal and bobbin assembly. Even after threading it correctly, adjusting tension and trying unsuccessfully for about an hour and a half, I could not get it to sew a single stitch. The thread kept binding up and knotting around the bobbin assembly. The machine is cute, but a total piece of junk. Save your cash and grief and go for a low end singer or kenmore. At least you can get a straight stitch out of them.
