Customer Review: Good and Simple to Operate
Summary: 4 Stars
SewPro SP-402 QuickStitch is a simple to operate product. Do not let its toy-like look confuse you. It has really helped me to deal with minor cloth mending issues.Customer Review: Good for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good little sewing machine for simple projects. It's very easy to use. There are some issues with it though...I personally don't like that it has a plastic presser foot, it doesn't hold the fabric securely enough. Also, it does take a bit of effort to maintain straight stitching. I find that top stitching can be difficult and I don't like that the "long stitch" isn't very long at all. It's a very basic machine and would be good for beginners, but once you really know how to sew, you'll want something more sophisticated.Customer Review: Great

Summary: 5 Stars
I'm 21, and this is my first sewing machine (I'm used to hand-stitching)
After just a little while, I was making and finishing a sweatsuit using this machine - it works great, and like others have said, if you're having trouble with it, you probably just need to check to make sure it's set up correctly. Everytime there was a problem, it was due to my error, not machine malfuncion.
Also, the complaints about the needle being hard to thread are not really fair - any needle is somewhat difficult to thread! However you can adjust the height of the needle or use the threading device that is included.
Overall, this is a wonderful product. I may invest in one of the more expensive brands of sewing machine later on, but this one will serve me well for a long time to come.
Customer Review: Great Value
Summary: 4 Stars
After considerable research, we decided to get this sewing machine for our 9-year old daughter. We feel this is the best low-cost sewing machine for the money. Although many of the components are plastic, the machine is sturdy and well made. It includes a foot-pedal, does not require batteries, and closely resembles the basic features and shape of a traditional $100+ sewing machine. I only give this item four stars because there is no light.
After helping our daughter select the proper thread and tension adjustment, she has made several hats, skirts, and so on. We have also found that no matter how cheap or expensive a sewing machine is, there are going to be problems if it is your first time at sewing. Many people don't realize that there is a fair amount of knowledge and skill required to make ANY sewing machine stitch properly. If you can't get your sewing machine to stitch properly it is most likely tension setting, thread selection, etc..
