Uten Computerized Sewing Machine Portable Electronic Quilting 200 Stitches 8 Buttonholes Large Screen Model 2685A

I bought this for my wife as a "travel" machine, and she loves it. Its light, good quality, loads of stitches, and has a table accessory (my wife makes quilts)But one issue for us was that it didnt come with an instruction manual. Nothing. Nada. Thats because this was a "return" - we wanted to save a bit of money. We saved about £40 doing it this way. I thought maybe the original box was just damaged maybe. Nope. The original box was completely missing, but it was "amazon wrapped" in an amazon box with loads of bubble wrap to keep it secure. The cover was also missing for the same reason, and there was only one bobbin (installed in the machine - no spares) (there should have been 3), but that was ok too. My wife has plenty spare, as she has an almost identical looking (broken) Jenome machine, with bobbins the same size.If your manual is missing, or you have lost yours, you can find it online. But dont google the model number - 2685A. You wont find it. Instead google for the alternate model number - UEA021 . You will find this on the label on the back of the machine. The manual isn't hosted by UTEN themselves, but its on the archive.org website. I would post the URL, but amazon doesnt allow links to other web sites in reviews.My wife simply LOVES this machine. For the money, its really good value. Its light, and doesnt make too much noise. And I would recommend also getting the table attachment as well.

What a brilliant sewing machine this is for the price.My first digital machine. It really makes sewing so much easier, a plethora of different stitches and foot attachments too! Love the decorative stitches and the ability to add free motion embroidery is great. It is easy to set up although watched a YouTube video to help get the hang of all the different stitches as I personally find it easier to watch than read instructions .I really can’t fault this machine and would highly recommend it.

My first sewing machine! I was using some old style ones but wow this is an upgrade!Okay so I read the reviews initially and one mentioned the manual. They send out multiple languages but as separate books. The english one is very comprehensive and details everything. Now I had a couple issues along the way which were due to me not being familiar with a sewing machine, quick google search and youtube sorted that. I mean like this is a sewing machine that is half the price of other name brands. My expectations have been pleasant surpassed however.HUGE positive is that the power supply cord is your standard figure of 8 connector. I mean everyone has these spare so if there is an issue you can easily replace it. The foot pedal is also a separate lead. I mention this because the two brand name machines I was borrowing from friends had these unique leads that meant if you ever had an issue you had to go back to the brand.Oh and it does come with an embroidery foot despite what the images said on the page.Now any issues with the stitches in the image are due to my ineptitude lol but they should give you an idea of what the patterns look like. The grid behind is 1cm squares so you can see the scale.Overall it is a fantastic sewing machine and I am incredibly happy with it.The only negative is that it makes a beep each time you change the stitch or letter. It should be mutable, for normal stitching it is fine but when using embroidery it's quite annoying.

This machine is perfect! Smooth, simple controls, I had bought a cheap £50 machine but the fabric was bunching and it was frustrating to use. I splashed out on this and it has all the bells and whistles. Sewing is much more pleasurable. The speed control is wonderful and the dog feed actually works and moves thick canvas and thin cotton with no trouble. It's nice and hefty too which is reassuring, it does not feel cheap or flimsy. My biggest frustration with my old machine was the backstitching just not working, i think due to feed dogs too low and un-adjustable. Now it's a simple button press and it reverses directly over my stitches without going off track. I looovee this machine. Also... it is nice and quiet. 5*s could not be happier!

I thought I’d wait a month or so before writing the review so I could get used to using the machine.It is easy to thread. In fact much easier than my old machine.I have a feeling that it likes quality cotton as opposed to the cheap thread you can buy. It works better through the machine.There are lots of options on the machine from letters, button holes to different sewing patterns. Although it does do letters be aware that it’s not an embroidery machine. The letters are small but effective.It is lightweight. Really lightweight. A pleasure to lift.You can use the food pedal to sew or take the lead out and just press the button. I find it is easier to manage using the foot pedal.The only downside that I have noticed with this machine is that it does not like really thin fabric. If you start to see the thin fabric right at the very end of the seam it jams. It is better to start to see it almost an inch in, press the reverse button (still avoiding going right to the edge) and then continuing.Overall I am pleased with it.

Just opened the box - warehouse return and it is pristine and complete, so a great start!Within 10 minutes I was up and running and sewing sample alphabet letters in French! I’ve never used a computerised machine before, or top loading bobbin, this was easy peasy. It’s operation is also really smooth and quiet.My last attempt to go computerised was a complete disaster as I couldn’t fathom it at all, this really was simple!Take a chance and give it a go, honestly a super little machine with an amazing number of features at a knockout price!
