"I received this sewing machine as a present from a freind of mine, and couldnt be more thankfull to her, she didnt even know what a good thing she bought me. I always wanted to know how to sew but never had a chance to learn how to do it .When I received this machine I went to buy patterns, first I was abeginner but after a few weeks I learnt how to sew and almost finished new drapes for my room. was worth every dollar paid for this. Pays to invest, great price, great seller, easy to use, never had such a good experience with an item.I recomend this for all my freinds to get it as a "happy new year present. ""

"I have been sewing with this machine for a few months now, and I think I finally am getting somewhere with it. In the beginning, It was horror. I oiled it and the machine slowly started to smooth out. I also had the problem of the machine stalling and found that I have to tighten the nob (quite tight) that controls the needle from not running while filling the bobbin with thread. It has given me a big headache in the beginning. I am not sure if I would recommend this machine."

"I haven't had a chance to examine this thoroughly... but this is my first sewing machine. My roomate, has used many sewing machines and has her own. She has tried to use this one but it seems to stall for apparently no reason. We haven't been able to sew anything. I plan to go through the instruction manual with a fine tooth comb to figure out exactly whats wrong. But for now, we have no idea what is wrong and when I have a chance, I'll probably call the company to find out... or if its defective, hopefully have it replaced."

"just bought this sewing machine for my 8 yr old daughter. Instead of waiting until Christmas and risking the possibility of a disappointed little girl I tried this machine out. I have been sewing for about 30 years and learned as a young girl myself. There is nothing more discouraging for a new sewer than a poor piece of machinery. This is an amazing machine for the money. So easy to use!!!!"

"I purchased this sewing machine for my mother who loves to sew. Since the first moment she tried to sew, the machine got stuck. I thought that I was getting her a fine quality machine but instead I bought a piece of junk. It has been the only item that I have ever returned to Overstock."

"The
Rex USA 18-stitch Aluminum Body Sewing Machine is a good basic sewing
machine. Since it is made in China, some of the instructions contain
English errors. Mechanically it seems to be very sound, but it runs
surprisingly loud and rough. Normally I sew on a card table, but I had
to move this machine to a very sturdy wooden table because it about
shook the card table to pieces. On the sturdy table, though, it is
fine. Another drawback, in my opinion, is that the foot control tends
to run only at high speed. I prefer a more moderate stitching speed,
which is hard to achieve with this machine.
I've found the quality of the stitching to be very good and reliable,
so I am not unhappy that I bought it.

"I bought this for my mother, who likes to sew but has no tolerance for electrical things, this is perfect for her, she is just going to town and loving it. Has had no difficulties, the book is easy for her to understand the the machine works like a dream, great for a beginner or a senior who is challenged by anything "modern.""

"the worst sewing machine i ever purchased.The belt was off. the tension was on crooked. it took al ot of time to get it right. I wanted to throw it out in the garbage, that's how much i liked it. Best of all it was a Christmas gift to my daughter in law. the belt gets stuck and then it doesn't sew at all. No I do not like it and probably will never order on line again."

"The food pedal is very unresponsive and stiff, the machine will only perform a straight stitch. The machine will not even zigzag. Forget any of the 18 stitches it is supposed to perform."

"This is a GREAT machine for this price!!! it sewes nice and it easy --- don't expect it to sew super thick fabrics but if you need a machine for easier fabrics and you don't need a million different stiches, this is what you should get."

"Cheaply made machine. Instructions do not match machine. There is no information regarding warranty, customer service or where to get replacement parts. I can't even figure out who makes this thing. The machine often jams on all but the most simple stitches. The motor control pedal does not afford a slow feed rate. Save the $100 and put it towards a real machine."
