I bought one of these minis at the thrift store for my grandson to use. Stitches weren't catching and I found your video which was a life saver! Took me hours just to figure out how to unscrew the outside screws because all of my Phillip's were too big. Finally used my drill to enlarge the hole. The screws were in so tight that it raised my blood pressure! After numerous tries at adjusting the bobbin cogs I wanted to throw in the towel. Yours was the best video on the procedure. Thank you so much. It's finally working with perfect tension.

I was about to cut my losses and give up, but I decided NEVER! Messed around with timing on bottom bobbin for 3 hours, only, thanks to you, to figure out that the needle was not in the groove in the arm. I knew it was different. Nobody else had this as a fix, and you did and I'm extremely grateful. Thank you. And I'm sure I'll be referring to your video quite a bit for fixes. What do you want for 70 bucks, huh? Maybe, if I get good and go back to work, I'll invest in a better sewing machine. Thank you again!

This thing hasn't been working since dya one when it was delivered. I've been at it since yesterday and was able to make it work after fixing everything from wirings to parts getting stocked while running. The last and final hurdle? stitching, and you made it work. Thank you so much, i love u💞

OMG I could listen to you all day long, you have the most soothing voice I think I’ve ever heard ! Thank god I wasn’t able to fix my machine yet so I’ll keep watching! Thanks

Thanks to you it works!!! After several hours of adjusting everyting outside and wondering what the problem is, turned out the timing wasn't good. With your proper instructions and clear explanation I solved the problem and now the machine runs like a wonder! :)

So glad I found you, I’ve spent more time restarting than I have actually sewing! Giving it a rest today (it’s wound me up that much! But I’ll defo be doing this when I’m less likely to hulk out 🤣

Just wanted to thank for this detailed video. It's amazing to see that people do care about repairing gadgets at home rather than throw and replace them. Good initiative. Helped me fix my mini sewing machine.

Looking for more of such helpful videos!

I would be afraid to mess with my machine. Good for you that you can do this.

I was about to cry... I'm so happy I found this video.. Saved me a lot of money... Thanks....

[chocohlic]

I was literally on the verge of crying. This was it! THANK YOU! My machine's a little different, but the principle was the same. Very clear and easy to follow. New subscriber :)

Thanks so much for showing us how to make repairs ourselves. This is especially great because low-cost objects can too easily be thrown out or be refunded and getting a service person isn't worth the cost. Your videos are great!

Hi Dominica, I found your videos on the mini sewing machine quite informative. Kudos to your bravery and ingenuity on fixing the machine. Not many people would manage to do this successfully. Thank you.

Hi Domenica, I am so excited because your part 2 video helped me with my troubleshooting, my machine was not stitching and your guidance was perfect. Thank you so much XXX

[frida_otras]

Glad I found this! I've spent 2 days trying to figure out this problem. Although my machine buttons is a little different than the one shown here, I guess 99% of the mechanics are similar. Will give it a fix soon. Thank you!
