FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A CHILDREN SEWING MACHINE WITH A NEEDLE GUARD

Many children sewing machines with needle guard are sold with kits that include instructions for simple projects and everything needed to complete them.

Age – generally speaking, even toy machines are best for children at least eight years of age. Though most brands of children’s machines are designed and manufactured with safety in mind, younger children may lack the necessary coordination for safe use.

Experience – will this be the child’s first exposure to sewing? If so, the simpler, more basic, and more geared to learning, the better. Many children’s machines are sold with kits that include instructions for simple projects along with everything necessary to complete them.

Type of projects – Some children’s machines produces only a chain stitch, which is easily pulled out. This is fine for “pure practice” sewing, but may not be satisfactory for projects that involve actual construction or are intended to be permanent.

Machines made specifically for children feature super-simple operation and many have special safety features, but children will need some instruction and supervision. An adult should be close at hand when children are using the machines, especially at first.

IMPORTANT FEATURES FOR CHILDREN SEWING MACHINE WITH NEEDLE GUARD

• Finger guard

Finger guards are another safety measure, but even if your machine comes with one, you’ll need to teach your kids how to use the machine safely and keep their fingers out of the path of the needle.

• Needle threader

A sewing machine is a great tool for developing your child’s fine motor skills. However, manual needle threaders are difficult for children. An automatic needle threader is much more useful for small children. Many children’s sewing machines are therefore equipped with an automatic needle threader.

• Stop/Start button

Stop Start buttons give sewing novices a fighting chance. When children first learn to use a sewing machine, they want to sew as fast as possible. Obviously, they have to start from the very beginning – the very beginning is about mastering the steps of needle perforation. Mastering basic sewing tasks take time and lots of practice. Children are impatient and sewing machines won’t make any progress if you step on the pedal for every step.

• Anti-jam coil

A jam-proof bobbin is a must when it comes to baby sewing machines. Children don’t always stop the machine in time, which can cause expensive mistakes. If you’ve ever had a spool get tangled or jammed, you know it’s no fun. Anti-tangle spools help prevent thread tangling and tangling. Bobbin jams are usually caused by the needle slipping out of the fabric, so this feature is great for kids who haven’t quite mastered stopping the machine at the right time.

• Automatic thread tension

The automatic tension sewing machine ensures that the thread is not too tight or loose. A thread that is too tight can damage the machine and a thread that is too loose can cause the stitches to become distorted. Unfortunately, automatic tensioning is usually a feature you’ll find on more advanced machines at a higher price. This is because the machine must use advanced technology to detect the appropriate tension for the sewn fabric.
