When it came out it took the sewing machine industry by storm - a full lockstitch sewing machine in a pocket! It had adjustable stitch-length, thread-tensioning, a bobbin-winder, a hand-crank attachment on the side, a bobbin, a shuttle...EVERYTHING that a full-sized machine had. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, for all it solid engineering and marketing hype, the machine was never properly quality-tested. As a result, it never actually...you know...WORKED!! Because of this, within a couple of years it had become a complete flop. Today it&#039;s useful only as a historical curiosity. But what a curiosity! Most people have never seen one, and that&#039;s precisely why I bought this![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
