This unbranded combination machine stands out for the shape of its embroidery field rather than its size alone. At 235 by 100 mm it is long and narrow, which suits borders, sleeves, towel edges and long names better than a square hoop. It also sews, so it can serve as a single machine for someone starting out in embroidery who wants to try both crafts.

In its favour
- The 235 mm long field suits borders, sleeves and long names that do not fit a square hoop.
- Designs import directly from a USB flash drive without a computer, the listing states.
- A 7 inch colour touchscreen previews designs before stitching.
Good to know
- At 100 mm the field is narrower than a true 5 by 7 inch hoop.
- No brand support details, warranty or weight are stated in the listing.
Our take
Features named in the listing
The seller lists 173 sewing stitches, 75 embroidery designs and a maximum embroidery area of 23.5 by 10 cm. Buttonholes are auto sized and multiple fonts are built in, although the number of fonts is not given. Sewing speed tops out at 650 stitches per minute.
Control is through a 7 inch colour touchscreen that previews designs before stitching, with LED lighting around the work area. Designs import straight from a USB flash drive without a computer, and automatic thread winding is mentioned.
What a long field is good for
Most hoops at this level are square or close to 5 by 7 inches. A 235 mm length lets you stitch a full name across the back of a bag, a border along a tea towel or a strip of lettering down a sleeve in a single hooping. The trade off is width: 100 mm is narrower than a true 5 by 7 inch hoop, so wide motifs such as a large badge or a cushion centrepiece will not fit.
What the listing leaves out
There is no brand name, no stated warranty, no weight and no dimensions. The listing also mentions 10 control voices but does not explain them. File formats for USB designs are not stated, which matters if you plan to buy designs online, so ask the seller which formats it reads.
Spare hoops, presser feet and servicing are also unknown. With a branded machine you can usually buy extra hoops from a dealer; here you would rely on the seller.
How it sits against branded rivals
The Singer SE9185 has a 5 by 7 inch field, 150 designs, ten fonts and Wi-Fi with mySewnet, from a brand with established support. The bernette 79 goes much bigger, with a 260 by 160 mm field and USB import. Against both, this machine offers the long format field and USB transfer, but less certainty about after sales care.
Verdict
A reasonable pick if long borders and lettering are your main embroidery jobs and you are happy to check formats and support with the seller. If you want wide designs, a known warranty or wireless transfer, the Singer SE9185 is the steadier choice, and the bernette 79 is the step up for the largest field here.
