Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine review

Features: Michley LSS-202

1# Drop-in Bobbin

The bobbin is located on the top of the machine, a factor that makes threading very easy. Its positioning also allows for automatic threading. If you are a fan of thread rewinding, you are lucky because the drop-in bobbin also makes this possible. However, you have to keep re-positioning it after several stitches to avoid losing it.

2# Double Speed Options

This is a feature that makes the machine exciting to use. If you are in a hurry to complete your sewing project, just press the button speed to double up the momentum. This is a feature that is not common with most other types of machines in the market. It would make your family interested in sewing just because they know they can use adrenaline-raising speeds.

3# Built-in Stitches

It comes with eight built-in stitches which include zig-zag, straight, buttonhole, satin, blind hem, back stitch, and scallop. The built-in stitches make it possible to switch between different sewing designs easily. They also save you time because you do not have to manually set the stitches in place, something that sometimes fails even with several attempts, especially for beginners.

4# Reverse Setting

The reverse setting feature proves very useful to beginners because they can secure their stitches firmly. With the click of a button, you can reverse your stitches within no time, and the reverse stitches do not show on the fabric. It is just a smart way of keeping your sewing work intact.

5# Portability

As its name suggests, the machine is small in size, and should not be considered a replacement for the regular big-sized sewing machines. However, it does not mean that the stitches are weaker than those by other machines. In any case, it is an ideal sewing tool for hemming and regular repairs, as well as for use by beginners who want to learn the art.
