I bought this for my 5 year old for Christmas and she was so excited about making some clothes for her Barbie dolls...unfortunately, as the previous reviewer said, the stitch comes straight out as it is chain stitch and has no underlocking bobbin. Also, the tension is very easy to move so it is hit and miss whether you can stitch a whole line without the size and tightness of the stitches changing all time. I would definately NOT recommend and will be taking this product straight back to Boots for a full refund!
