Portable Sewing Machines

All Sewing Machines

10 portable sewing machines from Brother, JUKI, Singer and more. Most cost $149 to $1,239, and half cost less than $176.

Machines whose title says mini, handheld, portable, lightweight, cordless or free arm. The listing gives the weight and how it is powered.
