It can happen that during a journey an item of clothing has to be repaired. Of course, you can quickly reach for needle and thread and sew the seam back together again with a few stitches – and prick your fingers in the process. Maybe such a thing works better with a modern hand sewing machine and without pricking your fingers. Many such machines are offered – among others by Datison. Let’s take a closer look at them right away.
How is the equipment?
The target group for this part is of course also mainly travellers who do not want to walk around with a defective shirt, for example on holiday or during a business trip. But also people who don’t want to activate the big device for small repairs in the household could be interested in it. Of course the scope of use is limited and refers to fabrics that should not be thicker than 1.8 mm. Everything above that is probably too thick for this machine. This good piece is powered by 4 AA batteries, which unfortunately are not included. But needles, yarn and bobbin are included. We award 3 of 5 stars.
What are the usage characteristics?
This hand sewing machine from Datison is such a product that it provokes conflicting reactions from customers. At least this impression is created when looking at the customer comments at Amazon. There, 50 percent of the customers give the part five stars and 30 percent give it just one star. Although the latter are in the minority, they are a significant size. What do they have to criticize about the machine? Well, although the supplier also defines it as a machine for “beginners”, it seems to demand too much from beginners, especially since there is no German instruction manual. The machine is self-explanatory only for people who have experience sewing with machines. Such people are also quite satisfied with the machine. They refer to the practical aspects of the part, for example when travelling, if an item of clothing has broken. These people also find the machine easy to handle. We award 3.5 of
