Consew 75T, Blindstitch Machine, Portable, Single Thread, Chainstitch

At my flea market (indoor) booth, I'm set up to create sewing/quilting projects. As part of that, I make curtains, RV seat cushions, quilts, and I make minor garment alterations for clients. When I need to make a blind hem, it's a tedious process - rather, it used to be tedious. This sweet little Consew Blindstitch machine allows me to hem items in under two minutes! The instruction book is well written with good illustrations, so someone who's never seen one of these before (like me) can get up and running quickly. Once I read the book and assembled the few parts which needed to be put on the

This is my first blind hem machine. I chose Consew because of the company's history in the industrial sewing industry.Firstly, this little machine is the real deal- very heavy! As far as I can see 90%+ metal construction (very little plastic). Typically machines of this construction are meant for a lifetime of work, which makes me very happy!Secondly, yes, some reviewers are correct--this machine is hard to finesse. The tension knobs all need playing with (I've used both serger and sewing thread and as of now like the sewing thread. I have ordered specific blind hem thread and am excited to se

I purchased this machine back in July - and was working well for a couple months. Machine was regularly oiled and well treated. I run a tailoring shop and been sewing for over 25 years--- I have never had a machine break in such a short amount of time. From one day to the next abruptly stops working. I contact the manufacturer and after a very long awaited response and push back to take responsibility (although it was still under warranty) - they agreed if I paid shipping they would fix and ship back to me. I sent it right away. I was then contacted and said the machine was fixed in under an h

I am a professional seamstress and must have quality equipment. The two hemmers I have used for 20 years needed servicing at the same time and I couldn't wait so I bought this, and got the two-day shipping. What a wonderful machine! It does not come with the best instruction...when I get more adept, I may do a video tutorial, something the company really should do. It's not at all easy to thread but I figured out a trick--cut the thread off near the spool, leaving yourself 10 inches or so to tie on the new color, then simply pull the thread through. I'm hoping to never have to thread it again!

If there were better videos online as to how to use this machine, I may have kept it. However I had trouble getting it to lock the stich and it would pull out the stitches. I sadly ended up sending it back because of that. This was a great price for a Consew and is a very well made machine, heavy, commercial grade. Packaged very well! A little hard to thread the needle, but did not break the thread much, seem to sticht fast, even and probably would have worked out well for someone with more training on how to use it. More videos are needed for this or someone with commercia hemmer experience t

great little blindsticher! i was concerned about this machine as there was not a review about it, never had one like this one much less I knew how to use it. But I'm glad I got it. it was supposted to get here by the 22nd but it just made it today. I got it out of the well packed box and started to set it up on a working table , it was easy and got it running in about 10 minutes, went over the instructions and was sawing a nice blindstich on 2 set of drapes. I'm sooooooo glad I got this great machine. As oiled machines the smell was bad but in few hours of been unpacked that diminishe to a poi

This is a great small, portable machine! I've used industrial blind hemmers but wanted something small and portable for my home sewing studio. I did a lot of research on the few models available. This one seemed to have a better track record. I contacted the seller with several questions and the customer service rep. got back to me quickly with all the answers I needed. I was having difficulty finding quality needles for this machine. I did not want to purchase the machine without also purchasing needles and having a good supplier. The customer service rep. found needles for me and helped me p

Pleased with it. Works well. Glad I got after years of thinking about a hemmer.
