Is This New HANDHELD Sewing Machine Better?

The problem with handheld sewing machines is that you have to tie off every stitch manually. This new and improved mini sewing machine has a bobbin and bobbin winder. But does it work and should you upgrade?

Thank you for demonstrating this little machine. I have no space (or funds) for a real machine. It's been years since I've sewn much, but I lost about 50 lbs this last year, and want to take in some of my big clothes - getting sick of spandex leggings and baggy tops! Hand sewing it all is killing the arthritis in my hands! I bought a similar one but the instructions made it look a lot more complicated than it is. You gave me the courage to try it again! At least it should help on seams, etc. Wish me luck! You inspired me to attempt these projects with your really helpful videos.

I have the Singer Stitch Quick Plus that’s very similar to this machine with how it operates and functions. I bought it at Hobby Lobby for $20 original price.

***EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR THIS MACHINE AND OTHERS VERY SIMILAR!!!!***

BEFORE pulling your project from the machine after you’ve completed your sewing, you MUST MUST pull enough thread from your spool/bobbin, then pull your project out and cut threads, make sure to pull about 6-10 inches of thread AFTER the tensioner knob, not before it so that you give yourself enough thread for cutting and continuing on with same or new project giving yourself enough starting thread (recommended by manufacturer is typically 6 inches or more starting thread) The thread tensioner WILL bend and or break your needle if you don’t pull your spool thread enough for clearance before cutting. Don’t just pull your project like she did in this video unless you want to bend and or break your needles and have to consistently replace them.

Also YES! You WILL need to pull your top thread with a needle to the back and tie off because you can NOT back stitch that would typically lock in your stitch and prevent it from coming unraveled over time. It’s an extra important and necessary step to complete your stitch.

Also, I’ve tried both bobbin and full spool attachment on my machine, I HIGHLY recommend just loading your spool bobbin with your thread, it tends to work better with the machine rather than the full spool with extender, it would keep getting raveled around the spring. It doesn’t with the bobbin.

I hope this helps anyone considering this machine and anyone actively using this machine or brand new to a machine like this. The first advice is CRITICAL!!!

Have a beautiful and blessed day! Remember, you’re doing GREAT! You DO matter, you DO belong, you ARE ALWAYS enough! In case no one has told you lately, it’s simple kind words that make the strongest impact and it literally costs no money yet it’s priceless ❤️

I have been looking for a handheld machine that works. As a disabled person with chronic illness, sometimes when I want to sew I just don’t feel good enough to sit at my sewing machine. I have hand-sewn while bedridden before, but hand-sewing is not as efficient. Your video makes me want to try this product when I get the chance, and makes me hopeful that it might work for me! 😊

If something like this had been my first sewing experience, I'd never sew again.🤣🤣🤣

Just took up scrapbooking and was super jelly of all the ladies who were sewing pockets and lace fabrics in their scrapbooking vs just gluing. It makes scrapbooking more high end and more durable. But there was NO WAY, I was going to invest in a whole sewing machine to achieve the look. Until a few days ago when I was strolling the aisles of a Walmart and couldn’t believe my eyes. This is perfect! It can’t do zigzag stitches, but neither can I, that’s probably sewing 202. However, this tutorial confirmed it’s purposes for me... for $23??? All Day! Thank you for posting this!

This machine has a QR code on the package that leads to a thorough video demonstration explaining operation, safety and features. I watched it in the store before I bought it today. It seems like a nice little machine and it tested well once I got home. You are able to adjust the tension depending on what fabric you are using. Just test a few stitches on a swatch sample before going for it on your project. I like it so far.💜🪡✨Happy sewing 🧵

I’m getting back into sewing after probably around 25 years and found your channel. I love your videos! Informative, funny and just plain enjoyable. Thank you for the awesome content.

I’m a trucker and been looking all morning for one of these or a handheld one with a PROPER review like this! Thank Hand patching jeans myself gets me a lot of pokes and doesn’t look uniform or too good.

My first alterations customer, whose name is Angelina 🤭, gifted me a Singer handheld sewing machine 🥰 it works well but no ac adapter. I don’t use it but I think it’s very cool. Might carry it to football and basketball games in case the cheerleaders need garment repairs 👍 My daughter made the team 😍

[fatmangaming]

Great reviews on your channel. I have watched a couple of them now. Thanks for doing these reviews. I'm a dude who is learning to sew, so that I can make every day carry handkerchiefs. I've sewed a few by hand, but looking at a handheld machine since the hanks won't be a challenge for the little machine. Glad I found your channel, you do a great job.

I remember my mother buying this exact same thing away back in the early 1970's. It was a piece of crap away back then and they have brought it back for the new generation of mugs. Nothing has changed as it's only fit for the bin.

[sheliablake]

Ok I can use it for lining handbags and like you said heming or small repairs on the go but very nice

[mc]

I love the fact that it is very small and portable but does it really need the hand held thing I mean it would be so much earlier if it has a flat surface because we do need both hands while stitching

[elleh.]

Thank You Angelina !!! Have a wonderful night

[misteroz]

Thanks a lot for the review - I've been in two minds about assembling some simple mens' items like ties and pocket squares, for which a full size machine would probably be overkill. For £25, it may well be worth a trial.

[hollins]

This product was As Seen on TV over 20 years ago. I wish I had it when I was in the Army in the oil field I found one at Walmart and I love it it's not perfect but it will patch up your battlefield gear.

[erickajstevens]

Thank you for sharing your review.
Maybe it would be good for my little niece to use for, making her dolls clothing on? 🤔🤔🤷🏾‍♀️

[daelitecityride]

I laughed about not judging the scissors. I bought a cheap pair and cut fabric, cardboard, foam board, rope, foil, hair, plastic, you name it. It will still cut fabric perfectly. Wish I knew where I got them. They're unbranded. I want another pair. 😆

[mitzieatjunkjournals]

I wonder how it would do on paper. I’m a junk journaler and sew on paper quite often. 🤔

[deniseoates]

So, it actually only have the basic stitch? This would be good for those sewing jobs that you don't want to go thru the whole set up a sewing machine for and will work for cuffs that don't have buttons to open. Or just for repairs, that I am doing by hand. It seem to have a pretty strong motor considering that it did actually fed the 4 layers of jeans thru. I like the price of $25. So is this the best hand held that you tried out? You did not say. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
