REVIEW - Ming Hui: Mini Sewing Machine


Ming Hui Mini or Portable Sewing Machine

Includes:
1 Sewing Machine
6 Bobbins ( 2 already attached)
2 Needles (1 is already attached) 
1 Threader

1 Pedal
1 Adapter
1 Instruction Manual


I bought mine online so a few reminders:

1. make sure the package is complete with the 6 bobbins else you'll have a rough time

2. if you are gonna buy it second hand make sure that there's no defect because there is little to no information as to it's repair here in the Philippines.

3. DO NOT WIND the winder because it's for tightening or making the stitches loose and it's really hard to put it back to normal if you do not mark it somehow.

4. Mark the winder so you know how to get back to a normal not tight, not loose stitch.


You can explore everything else without a worry

I had no knowledge of using a sewing machine and little knowledge of hand sewing so it took some time to figure it out, it's pretty simple to use and I won't recommend using the pedals for beginners.
It's light and portable as it said but only sews 1 basic stitch (running stitch), this is basically just for repairing clothes but not for actual dress making. I would recommend buying a 7stitch sewing machine if you're hoping to make costumes, dresses and etc. or really invest in hand sewing skills.

Here are some Youtube videos that I found helpful and you should probably watch if you're a beginner. These videos are not mine btw just in case anybody's wondering.
