Handheld Sewing Machine Not Stitching! Try This Easy Solution | Handy Stitch

Is your handheld sewing machine not stitching? The first part to check should be the needle position and in this tutorial, I show you how to make sure the needle is in the correct position when your handheld sewing machine is not working. I am using the Handy Stitch brand but other brands on the market are very similar.

OMG I cannot thank u enough! My husband bought this machine for me 4 years ago, bearing in mind I absolutely hate sewing! I put it down to the machine not working. Today I came across it while deep cleaning the house and I searched and stumbled upon this video. I have just done exactly what u said and hey presto its working! 😃 Thank u! ...and subscribed ❤

I recently bought this and tried 3-4 threading tutorials...I almost lost my mind but this saved me. Thank you soooo much!

You’re two videos about this lil guy saved me so much time. THANK YOU!!

Thanks a lot. Finally mine worked after 4 years. I watched so many tutorials how to thread it but never worked. After watching your video I fixed my needle and it worked. Thanks dear

I’ve had my mini machine for over a year and after watching a couple of your videos, I’m finally brave enough to try using it. Thank you for your succinct and detailed demonstrations. 🙂

Thank you very much! I bought the machine for small 'retouches' but after two days it stoped stitching! I was so disappointed! Your tutorial is just perfect and the solution functioned very well!

Awesome video, I received this sewing machine for a Christmas gift from my wife because I do all the sewing in our house. It worked for a little while but then quit. Thank you so much for this video explaining the solution. I can now do all the sewing abit quicker again! Yay!

So useful. I just ordered my sewing maching and i was frustrated that it wasn't stitching at all. Thought of returning it back to the retail store till i found your video. 👍 thanks for sharing this useful tip

OMG you just saved the day. Ive been trying to figure out why this machine would not sew and what you showed was exactly what was wrong with mines. Thank you so so much

Could you please do a video of what to do if it stitches, but doesn’t grab the thread at the back? (Ie, looks stitched but just pulls apart as the loops at the back are not connected to anything). I just bought one of these to make a doona cover for/with my nine year old daughter. We were so proud of ourselves, until we went to use it and found it just fell apart in big patches where the thread hadn’t been caught (which we didn’t realise when sewing it).

Thank you so much. My grandma bought this sewing machine and couldn't understand how to work with it, she almost threw it to the rubbish bin, but I found ur video and my grandma is happy now

[davidrulloda]

You are my hero! I tried many things but didn't work. Shifting the needle downwards and keeping it with the hole in the direction shown on the video worked perfectly! Many thanks!

My mini machine was not sewing for a week. I was so frustrated. Then I came over to this video. It really changed my life. My machine is stiching just as new. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH

This was exactly what I needed to fix my amazing creations hand held. Thank you so much!!!

[tenasweet]

Thank you. My daughter and I have spent the last hour trying to figure this out.

[Mart]

Thank you so much! I drived crazy since two days for trying to find what wrong! Thank

[bluebados]

THANK YOU! My mom's sewing machine has been down for years and she bought this little handy thing and we couldn't figure out why it wasn't working!!

[robertmcgloan]

Thank you for the heads up on that solve . bought my M/C about 5 years ago and discarded it in a drawer because I couldnt get it to sew . recently needed to sew an edge on a roller blind and remembered I had this hand held. Got it out and looked on youtube for the answer .
