Coquimbo Sewing Kit Christmas Gifts for Women, Grandma, Mom, Adults, Kids, Beginner, Traveler, Emergency, Portable Sewing Supplies Contains Tape Measure, Scissors, Thread, Sewing Needle (Black, S)

Arrived today, so I cant yet say how strong the thread is (I will add to this review if any problems arise), but it is a decent little kit - for the price - for taking on vaca for small jobs. Referring to some points made by other reviewers: yes, the thread coils are quite small. But they appear to have more than enough thread to do a few simple jobs each. And there are two each of black and white, and three of light beige, which somewhat compensates for the lack of length. You will eventually need to buy more thread. By small jobs I mean re-attaching buttons, hopefully sewing a hatband onto a felt fedora (why I got it), but I wouldn't expect it to sew up a large rip in pants. As to difficulty in opening the case with the needles, there is a tiny piece of hard-to-see transparent tape securing it in place. This must be removed. After that, the black back piece is pretty easy to remove from the transparent part that actually holds the needles. When you remove that back piece, make sure it is/was on the top side, and hold the case perfectly flat, so no needles will not fall out even if the "hole" happens to be aligned with a needle "slot". Assuming needles dont start falling out, look at the side edge of the transparent part (it is opaque in places, but not the black backing.) You will see a gap at one point. To remove needles you need to rotate the transparent piece until the gap is over the "exit" slot for the needles you want to use. It is fairly difficult to rotate, use two opposing thumbs to turn it. Keep the whole thing level horizontally while you are turning the plastic, because whenever the "gap" goes over an "exit slot", if it's not perfectly level a bunch of needles will fall out. As a beginner, the hardest part is getting the thread into the needle. This kit comes with two threaders, which help a little but its still difficult for an old fogey like me with shaky hands and non perfect eyesight to do. The biggest help for me is this very useful device I got somewhere a long time ago, maybe at a surplus store, a jewelers loupe (?) which is a thing with a strap that goes around your head, a little light, and a strong magnifying glass that goes down over you eyes. That brings intense magnification to bear while leaving your hands free. But you probably wont take that on vacation, so, get a pair of strong reading/magnifying gasses (get them at a dollar store, they are way too expensive elsewhere). Also, the thimble is a ring with no top, which may actually be more useful than a regular one since I push the needles with my finger tip, not the top of my finger. We'll see. Thats a pretty long review for a $7 item, and I will add to it after I actually try it. OK,adding now after first use, sewing a hatband onto a felt hat. First, the thread is weak. It broke on me once when pulling through the felt. Thread is fuzzy, obviously not a strong polyester. Also, I was wrong about their 'ring' thimble being OK. A real thimble works much better. You get what you pay for.

This looks to be a nice sewing kit. It would be very good for traveling or just using it at home. Lots of accessories is a nice bonus.

Very nice sewing kit. Great to have in the house and small enough for traveling. Everything is neatly organized. The case is sturdy. Very happy with this purchase

Scissors shown in the picture at the time of purchase was not provided

Well put together

Wir haben uns das kleine und platzsparende Nähset für unseren Wohnwagen gekauft. Wer kennt es denn nicht, man ist unterwegs im Urlaub und entdeckt das ein Kleidungsstück oder sonstiges dringend genäht werden müsste. Aber im Urlaub hat man für gewöhnlich nicht wirklich etwas zum nähen dabei. Somit haben wir jetzt Abhilfe geschaffen. In dem Nähset ist alles vorhanden um Kleinigkeiten zu nähen. Bislang habe ich noch nichts vermisst. Ich muss zugeben, ich habe mit nähen nicht viel am Hut und meine Künste sind auch eher dürftig, somit kann ich nicht wirklich beurteilen inwieweit z.B. das Garn gut ist. Für unsere Zwecke reicht es zumindest. Auch die Farbauswahl vom Garn ist ausreichend, denn wer braucht schon im Urlaub für mal eben was zu nähen eine große Palette an Farbauswahl. Niemand. Alle anderen enthaltenen Gegenstände machen auch einen guten Eindruck. Es sind wirklich viele Nadeln dabei. Das Case ist für unterwegs wirklich praktisch, nichts fliegt einfach so herum. Zudem ist es federleicht und lässt sich dank der kleinen Größe super verstauen. Insoweit ist alles top.

Product quality is very poor.. 5 ,5rupay ka saman h sara .market me 5 rapay me mil jayega... Hm ghr pe isliye mangwate h ki bahar nhi jana padega or ye log itna ganda saman bhej dete h...

Excellent basic sewing kit.
