I'm guessing for the adult sewist doing anything more than replacing a seam it would be an unhappy experience, mostly because something that light is going to move all over sewing something with any weight and size to it
You could put it in a setdown space or clamp it.
Might be ok for an RV? Doing 1/2 sq triangles or something?
I wouldn't fool with it when you can get some lovely older precomputer machines for 1/2 that if you watch.
Try one out and let us know

There might be bobbin issues too.
