Kenmore 15358 Sewing Machine Reviews

The bobbin gets stuck way too often and has to be taken off and completly redone.  I have tried using my own, my mothers, and my grandmothers and we have all had the same problem.  The bobbin still gets stuck.  We have tried using different brands of thread, different thicknesses of fabric, etc.  Nothing… read full review »

I enjoyed using the Kenmore 15358 sewing machine. I knew Kenmore is known for their appliances, I had heard every little about their sewing machines. I am impressed. This machine has all the basics and a little more. It's very easy to use and understand. I think switching stitches is a snap. I have been able to teach novice sewers on the machine with little difficulty. Loading the bobbin is easy. Threading the machine is easy, the machine talks you through each step.It is great for every day sewing with regular weight material. I would not use it for sewing heavy weight material, like denim,… read full review »

I found this sewing machine to be great for the average customer, and by that I mean someone who doesn't use the machine everyday for high volume products. Kenmore is a quality manufacturer, and it shows in the sewing machine. The one problem I had was that when I did start using it more often, the motor died on me. Otherwise, I found it easy to use and, more importantly, easy to change the thread, bobbin, etc., unlike other sewing machines I've… read full review »

While the name Kenmore implies a good product, I did not find this one to live up to it's name.  The motor quit within two years.  While it could be replaced, it would have cost more to have this done than to just go out and purchase a new machine.  I often had difficulty with the thread bunching up when doing other stitch patterns aside from just a straight… read full review »

This machine was a gift to me and I use it quite a lot. I mend, sew garments and do some crafting and quilting. I love that mine is portable and I can store it easily. It sews nicely and I don't have problems with it skipping or tangling thread. It is easy to fill the bobbins and rethreading is easy but the eyes on the needles could be a little larger--I'm getting older!… read full review »

This sewing machine is simple to operate. It is nothing I would purchase again. I would however recommend it to novice users. I am going to give it to a relative and purchase another brand with more features. I am a little more experience in sewing and would enjoy having more features to experiment with. I am pricing other top quality machines at the current… read full review »

I am not a seamstress, I begged my husband for this sewing machine so that I could complete some crafting projects.

I love this… read full review »
