AXE YAMAZAKI KA-01 Sewing Machine

I honestly didn’t think that I would be as impressed as I am by this machine. I got it thinking that I would give it to my daughter and now I’m reconsidering. I even had my 80 year old seamstress mom give it a drive around the block and she concurred…it’s impressive.Out of the box, they include many accessories. They even have a little storage box for the power cable that has a sliding part on the bottom that serves as a smart phone holder. Perfect for propping your phone up to watch instructional videos! The manual contains very clear instructions on each function with both text and graphical

I’m brand new to sewing and this is the first machine I’ve used and learned on. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how it’s easy of use. The seller has an entire YouTube playlist with video instructions for virtually everything I needed to learn: threading the machine and bobbin, bringing up the bobbin thread, using the presser foot, backstitching, turning corners, troubleshooting jams and more. As someone starting from zero, being able to actually watch each step made the learning curve much less intimidating.The machine has 12 settings covering five types of stitches. There are several straig

This is such a cute little travel sewing machine or starter machine for a child. It comes with several accessories which makes it a good value. I really like the versatility of traveling or working at home and the light weight of the machine provides this easily. You can switch to thicker fabrics also and it handles them well. I’m pleased with this machine and its results.

I have another AXE Yamazaki sewing machine it's the YS-10. And while I really like that model a lot, this is my new favorite mini sewing machine. One of the reasons that I wanted to try this one out is that it claims to sew through up to 6 layers of fabric and denimn. And it does. I first had another pillow to sew together, which is a thinner fabric, and it sewed beautifully on that project. Then I got ready to hem some jeans that I had been putting off. I have a vintage Kenmore that was made in the 70's that could handle the job, but it is big and heavy. The ease of getting out a much smaller

I have been sewing for many, many years and have always owned top of the line machines so this is the first one for me as an unknown brand. It's small but mighty. I have a small home in another state and this is perfect to have there to hem curtains or repair something. I do wish it came with a case for easy storage or transporting. There are several pieces that go with it so I put it all back in the original box. That won't be easy to have to unbox it each time I use it but luckily that won't be often.There is a well written instruction booklet included and it has pictures to help. You are gu

AXE YAMAZAKI KA-01 Sewing Machine | Small Portable, Super Lightweight, Designed in JAPAN, Great for Travel & On-the-GoI have several sewing machines, including several travel-type sewing machines for use in classes or craft groups. This one is the best so far. Not only is it lightweight and easy to take with you in a regular tote bag, but it has a lot of power. Additionally, it does not need to be plugged into an outlet to work; it can work on battery power, which is great in those cases where you go to a class and they just do not have handy outlets. The power in this little machine is unbeli

This little machine is small but mighty! It can do everything a full-size machine can do, but it's small and lightweight, making it nice for storage, portability and convenience. I sew a LOT and have many sewing machines (too many, probably). But this is first time I've used a small portable machine like this. I can see the appeal - you can take projects with you if you travel, you can use it around the house or even outside. I like that it runs on batteries - I was able to use it to hem some curtains right on the floor, no need for an outlet close by. It's easy to set up, and it has most of t

I am absolutely blown away by this little sewing machine! From the moment I opened the box, I knew this was a premium product. The packaging is exquisite: every single piece is snugly secured with absolutely no room wasted or room for damage during shipping. You can tell the brand put serious thought into even the smallest details, which gave me instant confidence in the product. This machine is hands-down the most portable sewing machine I have ever seen. It is literally no bigger than a regular notebook! I can tuck it into a drawer or toss it in a tote bag without a second thought. The fact
