YQ-518 Portable Walking-Foot/Zigzag Sewing Machine with Carrying Case - for Sewing and Repairing Thick Materials

I purchased the sewing machine for some small canvas repair. I should have listened to other reviews. The machine work on this machine is not good. You will spend more time trying to make it right there were no parts available. You cannot find any information on timing this machine I ended up purchasing a sailrite it was more money, but it’s justified in the end

The Machine is heavy duty and works well for leather and canvas. The walking foot doesn’t lift as high as I would like. The larger wheel that is included makes the machine easier to control. My biggest complaint is the belt needed for the large wheel was not in my package. I contacted the company and they said they would mail it out but it never arrived. I order a belt from sailrite for $19 which was easier than returning the machine.

Ordered because I thought it would sew thru thick material, but you have to push the material thru so it can sew it. Not what I expected from a heavy duty machine. Sending it back.

Machine wouldn't sew...I sent it back along with walking feet that didn't fit the machine

The MZ-518 looks very durable because it's all metal body. The seller I purchased from was YEQIN US. They have been answering all my questions in a timely basis, so I am very satisfied with their excellent service! We purchased this item for our DIY projects and it works well on the thick leathers quite well. It's portable, so doesn't occupy too much space at home.

If you are looking to save money and find a Sailrite LSZ-1 "knock-off", this is not it. Don't waste your time or money! You will be disappointed. The machine is made with extremely cheap parts and breaks down constantly, you will spend more time repairing the machine than you will sewing!

I bought this machine for a pending job, another seller failed to deliver another professional machine with higher features and I am amazed at how well this one can do the job.It comes with a bigger wheel to slow it down, I installed it and after a few adjustments I was able to line up the pulleys, a little oil to smooth it out although right out of the box it was cooking perfectly.It makes a bit of noise but for the price I wouldn't expect to get anything comparable to the settings on a Ferrari. For me it is a very good investment and I think that for now I can do without that other great investment.I am happy with this machine.
