Review: Potential to be a GREAT PRODUCT: 10 GUIDELINES - Tip #1: It arrives completely threaded so take closeup photos. Then, when you change the thread, you can look at the photo to see how it's done. Tip #2: Do not remove/change the thread until you are absolutely positive that you know how to thread it yourself. Tip #3: Take it slow and don't rush it. Carefully read the manual and practice sewing while it is threaded. I spent over half a day, learning how to use it and made lots of mistakes along the way. Tip #4: The Operational Manual that comes with it is practically useless. It poorly explains how to do things and I found lots of inaccuracies. Tip #5: Watch YouTube! Look up LSS 202 and there are at least 4 videos. Watch them all and you will be amazed how much clearer it is to understand. I ended up watching the videos multiple times to get different sections right (how to load bobbin; how to reload thread on bobbin, etc). Tip #6: Might need a pair of tweezers to pull out the 'bobbin pin" out of the hand wheel. Based on the manual, I didn't understand what they were talking about until I watched a YouTube video. It isn't even labeled on the directions! Even then, I thought this 'pin' was missing from mine until, I used a pair of tweezers to pulled it out! Be careful though, this is cheap plastic and might crack easily. Tip #7: It is helpful to have some sewing machine experience. I hate sewing and I haven't used or even owned a machine in over 35 years BUT, my mother taught me to use a sewing machine when I was in high school and so I know the basics. Threading this little machine is similar to a real machine. I also know how to pin and iron the hem so it stays flat when sewing. But, if you are determined to learn, then sewing experience isn't required but you have to have a high frustration tolerance or not mind if its roughly done. Tip #8: Probably better for infrequent sewing needs. I hate sewing so much that I only need to sew about 1x per year (e.g. sew on a button). I bought this because I had a few items that wouldn't be fun to hand sew (long tears in sheets from the dog) and a pair of jeans that had to be hemmed. Once I figured it all out, it worked great at stitching up that long sheet seam and hemming the jeans (I even trimmed them in the same yellow color as the pockets-looked pretty professional). BUT, it isn't a very strong seam so I wouldn't be surprised if it comes loose and I have to redo it. There is only one type of stitch - there are no zig zag. I had frayed edges on my jeans so had to buy a liquid product that would stop it from fraying. Tip#9. Create a small sewing kit. It is so small that I store mine in a 12x9x10 plastic file folder holder with a handle. I put the machine in there with just a piece of bubble wrap covering it and also have enough room for all of my sewing notions. I have two small thin clear organizing kits in the file folder holder too, one holds the different colored threads and the other holds other sewing stuff. The pin cushion I just loosely throw in there. I just store the file box on a shelf in the laundry room. Tip #10. It is so cheap, why not buy it? If you have very few sewing needs, you don't have much room for storage, you are willing to take your time learning it, and can be careful not to break it (it is pretty fragile and made of very cheap plastic), then this is the sewing machine for YOU! Review: Bad Design - If I could give this item a zero stars, I would, but I can't. At first glance it is cute and my hopes were high. I had read the reviews and hoped we were one of the lucky few that it worked for. Sadly, we are not. My 7 year old daughter saved her money (and she is a spender so saving was HARD work for her! ;) to buy this. We excitedly opened the package, found it was already put together. We put the test fabric underneath it and began. It is quite different from a regular machine: 1) there is no bobbin. 2) The "on" button is a CONTINUOUS sewing button, not just turning the machine on. 3) There is a fast and a slow setting which is a REALLY nice feature for beginners. That said, the thread did not feed through properly. I felt the need to adjust the thread tension but it made no difference. It was too tight so the thread would jerk through and just decide not to go. We thought maybe they used cheap thread so I got my own out and we started using it, same thing. We read and re-read the joke of instructions to make sure we were doing things right. I am a nut about reading instructions! ;) Also, it is a special needle and if the needle breaks...which it feels like it could do at any given second, I wouldn't want to have to deal with trying to find a replacement. Maybe we just got a bad thread tension-never could get it to adjust, turning the knob made no difference either way. In any case, it doesn't work and since we left for 2 1/2 weeks on vacation just after we got it, our return window has expired. I think I will give my poor daughter her money back so she can buy something else with her hard earned money. Still disappointed, can you tell? Big sigh. Please, don't gamble with your child's money or hopes: DON'T BUY THIS! (PS-I am an optimist and have never left a bad review anywhere-but I wanted to make sure others were not as disappointed as we were.) ## Features - Knob Colors May Vary - Mini 2-speed sewing machine offers double thread and perfect stitch control - For anything from silk to denim; hand switch or foot pedal to start - Top drop-in bobbin ensures easy threading; automatic thread rewind - Includes 4 bobbins, a foot pedal, needle, and threader - Measures approximately 7-2/3 by 4-1/2 by 8-2/7 inches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0021L931S | | Best Sellers Rank | #696,411 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #2,264 in Sewing Machines | | Brand | Michley | | Brand Name | Michley | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 out of 5 stars 1,884 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00163120324224, 00753182094564 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 4.53"D x 7.68"W x 8.27"H | | Item Type Name | Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine | | Item Weight | 1.8 pounds | | Manufacturer | Michley | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | LSS-202 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | lss-202 | | Power Source | Battery Powered, Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 4.53"D x 7.68"W x 8.27"H | | UPC | 172304339978 707837994419 885227425122 763615916684 172302805338 808113021765 758259963354 767655639725 046959293025 046941795391 809387606962 885691833744 523160746217 872182739425 712320594403 046974197476 885887309626 046916097062 885493729450 885403058403 885244501809 809188511250 168141620454 132017739779 163120860364 132017605043 046918495729 046909698139 046949199870 046927198598 6010001608… | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 months. | ## Images ![Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hvRIqXrbL.jpg) ![Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YUewUKq1L.jpg) ![Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C-lnlGRPL.jpg) ![Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aEK6zkLtL.jpg) ![Michley LSS-202 Lil' Sew & Sew Mini 2-Speed Sewing Machine - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51l7Ep-pwyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Potential to be a GREAT PRODUCT: 10 GUIDELINES *by K***M on July 26, 2013* Tip #1: It arrives completely threaded so take closeup photos.

So I started looking for something smaller and lighter, especially something I could use on my DIY lap 'desk', and came across this type of mini-machine. - All I wanted was something that could do basic stitching - my full-sized machine, even though it's a "basic" model, has all sorts of stitches I've never had any use for, so what I wanted was something that can stitch more evenly and much more quickly than I can do by hand, AND something as small and light-weight as possible. This little machine isn't even as heavy as a 15.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes ;) , so it's certainly light!!! It also has a tiny footprint, about the size of an average mass-market paperback. - The prices on these little machines seem to vary wildly., so, when I saw this Michley brand (which seemed to have the largest number of positive reviews, versus the "no-names") new for $16.80, I jumped on it. - I haven't done anything extensive on it, but it seems to work just fine - if that changes in the near future, I'll post an update. So far, it's exactly what it's described as being. Also, there is a good amount of information about it on-line, including instructional videos. So, yes, the instruction sheet (or so-called "manual") is barely comprehensible because the English is just *so* poor, However!, there are pictures, AND there are resources on-line, including those instructional videos, if one does a search on "LSS-202". - Several reviewers repeatedly belittled it as being a "toy" - I suppose it depends upon how one defines "toy". If it performs the task that a person needs it to perform, who cares what it's called? But more to the point, if you want a fully-capable machine, PAY FOR IT. Too many "reviewers" on Amazon seem to give 1 star because they expect a $4 item to be made like, and have exactly the same capabilities as, a $40 item. It makes no sense. - Some reviewers described it as being loud "for its size", but that shouldn't be surprising, given that the lightweight materials and small size simply lack enough mass to dampen the sound created by the motor and gears. It's not actually any louder than my own larger machine which is also made largely of plastic, but the *pitch* is higher, so it might be more annoying to some people and therefore *seem* louder than it is. ((My old *metal bodied* machine is, of course!, also the quietest, but it's also heavy, and I need to find a couple replacement parts...)) - My LSS-202 came well-packaged and was definitely *not* "just thrown in the box", as some reviewers seem to have experienced - mine was fully assembled, fully threaded, and tucked into form-fitting styrofoam, which had molded-in spaces for the pedal, the power cord, and the little baggie with extra bobbins. -Of course, I *did* order mine from a highly-rated vendor who also offered"Fulfillment By Amazon". The price is typically not "the lowest possible" for those vendors, but Ive never had any problems when I've gone with both options, and I wonder whether that accounts for the difference between a good LSS-202 purchase and a problem purchase... - Anyway, so, it stitches. Forward only - you need to turn the fabric if you need to back-stitch. For something that costs less than a lot of kids' toys, HEY, that's how it is ;) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/42857864-michley-lss-202-lil-sew-and-sew-mini-2-speed](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/42857864-michley-lss-202-lil-sew-and-sew-mini-2-speed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
