Travelling with a sewing machine sounds a bit bulky at first, because you think of the large devices with a table. But fortunately there are also these small models that can be stored in a suitcase and taken in hand like any other tool when sewing. Such a compact machine is also offered by Komake. Let’s take a closer look at this one.
How is the equipment?
This model from Komake is a lightweight cordless sewing machine that is easy to move around at home and on the road. It is particularly suitable for small repairs, for example on clothing, which have to be carried out quickly – so it is definitely an emergency sewing machine. However, the thickness of the fabric to be processed should not exceed 1.8 mm. Power is supplied by AA batteries (4 pieces) or by 6 V DC adapters. However, neither of these are included in the scope of delivery. However, in addition to the machine, spare needles, spindle, measuring tape, threader and bobbins are included. A piece of cloth for practice is also included. We award 3 of 5 stars.
What are the usage characteristics?
This portable hand sewing machine from Komake is the place to be. This impression is conveyed at first glance by the reviews of customers at Amazon. Sixty percent of the customers gave it five stars and 40 percent just one star. It could hardly be more contradictory. Why is that? Let’s first look at the critical comments. Here it is noticeable that the absence of a German-language manual is in the foreground. Especially for beginners in sewing, the machine is not self-explanatory. This experience also plays a major role in the negative evaluations – without understandable instructions people cannot sew and not everyone can speak enough English to read the instructions in this language. The positive reviews come from people who are obviously more experienced. They refer to the portable configuration of the device and that it even fits into a travel backpack. The machine is well suited for repair work – e.g. repairing seams on T-shirts. It should also fit well in the hand when sewing. We award 3 of 5 stars.
