  • WOW WOW WOW !!I have an old REX blindstitch with the table and the big clutch motor and the whole nine yards, My wife Carolyn saw this machine on here and mentioned it to me, and I figured, I know REX is good so lets try it, this is one neat machine, it is same material( i think cast iron) and it is as strong and sews as good as my big one, it has a neat lil motor packaged in the back of the machine. I dont care if you'r a tailor like my self or dry cleaners or whatever, if you need a blindstitch get this one, you dont need the big one anymore,thats it..

  • A Great Little Machine!

    I'm using this for custom drapery making and it has already saved me tons of time versus hemming with my sewing machine. It was a little sticky when I first got it but this has improved with oiling and running it. However if you don't know already knowhow to use a blindstitch hemmer you will definitely NOT be able to figure out how to do it by reading the supplied printed instructions as they have been so poorly translated from chinese as to make very little sense.

  • I have been sewing (clothes, drapes, curtains,etc.) for a long time and used to do the hemming manually to make it look descent. This machine is great and saves me a lot of time. My work now looks professionaly done. The only thing I had a hard time is threading the curved needle.

  • rex portable blindstich hemming machine

    we own a mens clothing store an needed a new blindstich machine for hemming pants. everyone we looked at was very expensive, $700.00 an up. i did a search on line an found that you had one at a very good price!!!. i ordered it an my husbend and myself are very pleased. we attched it to a work table and it is everybit as good as our old table modle. it is not big but sturdy and does a very good job. i would order this machine again and highley recomend it to others. thank you overstock you came to my rescue agsin.

  • I LOVE this machine!!!!

    This has got to be the best purchase I've made in a long time!! This machine runs like a dream, it really feels like an industrial machine. It isn't flimsy at all, it even has a little motor in the back. Nice material too, cast iron, it feels so professional! Started hemming stuff right out of the box! I wish I had this when I was in design school, glad I got it now though! I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!!!! ; ) My only negative comment about it is that the foot pedal is too light weight ( flimsy plastic) for such a lovely strong machine. I wish it was a metal pedal, maybe I can have it replaced.

  • Blindstich Hemming Machine

    I bought this machine at least 3 years ago. I use it in my design workroom and it's lightweight enough to take out on a job. I highly recommend this machine. The price was unbelieveable! It's a great little performer!

  • WOW! Dream Come True

    If you are even considering this machine, ADD TO CART! I have been sewing professionally for 25, yes 25 years and never had a hemmer at home. This has changed my life with my home studio. I now can hem in record breaking time. I bought it in the spring just before the wedding alterations came rolling in. My stress level all but evaporated. No more messing around with the crappy hem foot for my regular machine, I just walk across the room to my dream machine, REX, and its done in a snap. What price is YOUR sanity worth? It made my work so easy I almost felt guilty charging my customers for hems, almost. And I have it sitting on a table that is counter height with plenty of room for very large dresses. So much better than something permanently in a cabinet... One word of advice, wipe it down well after it arrives, it has oil on it from manufacturing. It is an industrial machine and needs to be treated as one, it is very fast. So Awesome.
