Selected User Reviews For SINGER 00279 Sewing Kit in Storage Box
My job isn't normally that of a sewer, but it requires me to occasionally serve as one If you wish to make small repairs, rather than throw away and buy new items, you must be a jack of all trades. As far as clothes go, this fits the bill. There are different colored spools of thread, three needles, a thimble, tiny rulers, and other items in this kit so you can perform little repairs on your garments. I like the way the package is organized and small enough to fit in almost any drawer or cabinet, but not too small to get lost somewhere in that one drawer that leads There is at least one in each of us. In addition to its small size, it is also easy to carry with you on your travels however, I would reinforce it with a rubber band, or something similar, to make sure I have been pretty happy with this kit for handling all of my super-basic sewing needs so far. Despite that, the kit only has one slight downside the cheap and flimsy scissors that come with it are very weak. However, everyone should have a good pair of scissors at home anyway, so this weakness can easily be fixed. Despite the price, I'd still purchase it again if I had to.
Next, let's take a closer look at this part by part. The thread is The setup is standard, so I will not raise any concerns. The scissors are It fits almost all fingers at the cheapest price and with the smallest hole. My blades bend in the middle of the cut and prevent me from actually cutting. You should throw the item away as it is unusable. I have the following knick knacks in my pouch My button won't be used, and the clasp is also useless. Additionally, the needle threader is cheap and inefficient. ABbreviation for Needles There was the tiniest eyehole ever, and the same needles were used three times. I have never seen three different types of eyeholes, but only three hard-to-thread ones. What's the reason? The following are other There is a ruler and a finger protector that I won't use. There are things they always add to the system, but 99 percent of people are not considering those things to be used. I have heard the following case One of the worst things about it. There's no way to close it after one use because it's so cheap. The glass is so fragile that I cannot store anything on top of it or around it, and if it were to fall, it would shatter. The reason for my one star review is that I just wanted to keep needles and thread in a hard case with three different designs. It turned out I had a bad case of It's a shame that Singer is so bad.
In fact, it was the exact kit I was looking for since I had one previously (the threads had been kitten attacked, not my fault I had parted ways with the In the beginning, I considered smaller kits, like the travel kits that I've even been given by coin machines at hotels, but I feel that this kit has a few more threads whereas travel kits generally have fewer thread length options, and I never used all of the thread color options. In my previous life, I used to sew and had a sewing machine and a lot more sewing supplies While I still liked the little kit, even my husband used it to fix buttons when we were away. It's OK for travel, but I had a really minimalist kit and I travel very light, so I'd hope there was another hotel vending machine that had that.
My first reaction was to laugh when I opened the kit. The product is made at an outrageously low cost. Those super-small scissors are just a joke -- for a second, I really thought it was a joke. As soon as I opened them, I had to pry the handles off, which was very challenging. It is important to remember that the total length of the scissors is about After we stopped laughing, we threw them away. As I opened the box for the first time, I found the tape measure was paper and the kit box broke apart in my hands. The $5 sewing kit I bought didn't really impress me because it was only a $5 kit. I remember when I was a kid, we used to purchase Singer sewing kits for going to school, getting our first apartment, etc. They were never expensive, but they were able to fix all sorts of things quickly. For the basic needs, it provided you with a variety of threads, needles, scissors for the basics. It will do the same with the exception of There are $3 of thread and 3 needles worth $5, so that's what it is.
Despite my expectations, I find this sewing kit not nearly as good as I had hoped. One of the main issues with this kit is the needles are When the thread ran out I decided against threading another needle because it took me forever to get them threaded. I also did a few repairs but didn't want to wager another needle thread. There are no useful scissors, they are dull, and they do not cut well, but other than the microscopic needles and the dull scissors, it seems to be alright. There is no doubt that I will spend the money on a better sewing kit, plus some brand All I can really say with regards to this thread is that there are a lot of threads and that it is free of charge.
That's all right. The kit comes with a plastic thimble in case you need one. It's a nice little sewing kit for the price. As far as I could tell, there were only three setbacks. The first thing to note is that pins are not It has been a while since I've pinned a button onto a pair of shorts, and some pins would have been helpful to create the necessary space between the fabric and the button. Another measure was a paper tape that was cheap. The fact that they included it at all makes me chuckle, but the fact that they included it just makes me chuckle. A pair of scissors is last. Even though I'm happy the pair was included, the finger holes are too small, and the scissors are riveted so tightly that it makes the pair difficult, if not painful, for people who might have arthritis like me to use. This kit is good as a kit, but it's not great and you get what you pay for.
The sewing box we have hasn't been able to find since we moved As a result, we needed to have something on hand It's a great kit for the money and is far better than I initially thought it would be. A total of 20 different colors of thread come on this spool. The thread is of high quality and has a nice shine. As with the previous thread, this one is also strong and I did not have any problems breaking it. A needle threader, 21" tape measure, plastic thimble, two snap fasteners, 3 buttons, 1 safety pin, and small scissors are included in this kit. It cuts thread well with the small sewing scissors.
They are stiff but sharp and not at all cumbersome. So far, I have been able to sew my nephew's teddy bear back together using this kit, and I had everything Everything from the perfect cream thread to the perfect stitch.
I understand that "you get what you pay for," but I don't think these items are worth that in my humble opinion. It's positive, there are a few dozen mini-golf courses in the area I have enough spools of various colors of thread to last me my whole lifetime. I just need to pick up a set of needles at the dollar store.
