Mini Rex Sewing Machine

If you want a super affordable sewing machine that is good enough to do all your simple mending and sewing tasks, the Mini Rex sewing machine is one of the best small double-stitch machines you can get for less than $25.

While the mini rex cordless sewing machine does not have all the features of a regular sewing machine, it is a nice little tool to have when you want to do some quick repairs or for small projects. The major downside to this mini sewing machine is that it doesn't support reverse sewing. Although it doesn't have a foot pedal, you can start and stop the machine with a button.

The mini rex sewing machine only supports 2 speeds and it doesn't come with an AC adapter. If you don't want to buy an AC adapter, you can always use 4 “AA” batteries to operate it though the batteries tend to drain away fairly quickly. Therefore, buying or using a general purpose power adapter with the same DC voltage and amp ratings is a better choice. For threading, make just send the thread once or twice at the lowest position of the spring loaded capstan. If you can manually pull the thread, you're all set!
