This is the same sewing machine that was on special at Target a couple of times recently. It is a reasonably well-regarded machine, certainly better than the cheap Singer which Aldi is trying to offload this week for the same price.

Normal Target special price is $99 as well, so $249 does seem a bit rich in the circumstances. Still that's neither here nor there as long as the price is $99.

Some reviews from Target. People do seem relatively happy with it:-

  Perfect , decided yesterday I need to buy one but didnt want to spend more than 200, getting pants hemmed is costly (im a short ass and know how to use a sewing machine)

  What's Target's price match policy like?
  Ive a Target 5 min walk from me , Dont't know if I will make it Myer before 17:30.

    same with me mate… paying the asian lady to do hemms for $15-20 each pair of pants, or learn to do it myself for much cheaper (and more satisfaction knowing I can do it).

    For those still not sure, You Tube is a great teaching aid. Learn what the different dials and settings do, to get a great job and you'll be a seamstress in no time!

    Just make sure you set yourself up with a sewing kit as well… you'll need it in conjunction with the sewing machine.

    Either kit yourself up at Spotlight, or Ebay yourself a kit from China for cheaper (but obviously takes longer).

    But stick with good quality thread from Spotlight.
    The cheap stuff breaks too easily… and that can be a real pain with having to reset the machine every time.

  Thanks for the info! Was looking at the one at Aldi this week for $99.99 but have just bought this one instead (at least this one had some reviews to look at!)

  For someone with essentially no experience, would this be adequate for learning to repair clothing and some luggage?

    This is really easy and friendly to learn but I doubt it will do luggage. I knew nothing about sewing but after a few videos from YouTube I managed to sew a jammer type of swim cosy for my son. Highly recommended for beginners that only need for occasional use.

  Is it sturdy enough to do hems on denim jeans?

  • 

    cannedhams on 08/04/2014 - 15:58

    I feel that it could at a pinch. However, the bits near the leg seam where the needle has to punch through three layers of denim would be touch and go if you are using heavy denim.
