Omg thank you so much 🥲! I'm on my dad's account anyways so I'm a small business owner got this machine for making scrunchies for my business and this stich! Literally killed me!! My grandma who used to sew using the manual machine she told me to stop using it for a day and I couldn't! I had do much work and this helped me 😭 thank youuu
Im sewing FaceMask for my family Thank you for your tutorial video Its giving me hope to work again on my portable sewing machine again , its frustrating sometimes 😧 Thats why i sew by hands Many thanks , your channel is helpful 😉 Im following you
You're amazing for making masks for your loved ones. I do hope this helps you. Yes it's frustrating when your sewing machine is not working properly, I hope my videos can help you out x
The same thing happened to me too... during this lockdown period I really wanted to make some dresses for my little girl. I’ve tried everything to get my mini sewing machine back to work n now I’m gonna try this too.... thank u for this vdeo 🥰
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
I've been looking at these for a while. I've never used a sewing machine before... I can't decide if I should try this or a handheld first, or save my money and buy one that's a bit more expensive... Hrmm...
It can be really confusing when you are on the brink of taking a purchase decision. I made a video about this very topic here th-cam.com/video/pTtk6bpx4UE/w-d-xo.html I'm sure you will find it helpful x
thank you so much for the video series. I just ordered mine and I cant wait to use it. All of this tips from yours are definitely gonna be helpful. Thank you.
Your intro explained my state so accurately. This trick actually works...another youtuber mentioned it to me yesterday but I didn't fully understand what they meant until I saw the way you did it. The only trouble with this is that for an absolute beginner like myself, there's no way that I can sew a straight line while one hand is occupied (I just tried a few times). Is there any way of increasing the tension/ pressure permanently?
Hi Hacer, first of all, thank you SO much for your kind words. It makes me so happy that I could help you and I really appreciate you. To be perfectly honest, it is tricky to keep very straight lines with this machine. I have a hack for straight lines too, but again it involves engaging one hand. And if you need to sew large items that require constant added pressure, one hand will be engaged still. I will be opening up this machine to figure out the internal mechanism in an upcoming video. I'll see if we can fiddle with pressure, though it seems unlikely. I'll post some links below to help you further xx
Thankyouu.....I really gained my confidence in my mini sewing machine which was just delivered 1 hour ago.... I will try again by your method...and I will let you know how it goes
Wow I'm so glad this helped you, Astha! Just take it slow and enjoy the process. Do let me know if you would like me to cover anything in particular in upcoming videos. Happy crafting! xx
@@OoniCrafts I feel so sorry to tell you that it didn't work. I got it checked also by a professional tailor, but it still didn't work. I have still not lost hope. I have returned that piece and I'm ordering the same piece again. Thankyouu but I will let you know if I need your help. ✨
Hi Astha, oh no i'm so sorry the machine didn't work out! Could it possibly be a faulty piece? I know that there are so many manufacturers putting their names on the mini sewing machine. To be honest I wouldn't know the difference between them either. I do hope you get a better replacement. Alternatively, you might consider spending a little more and getting a bigger, proper sewing machine with all the normal functions and settings. But it will definitely cost you more. If you do decide to go down this route, I would highly recommend the Brother LS14. It will forever be my first love in sewing machines. I hope this helps. Do keep me posted! xxx
Hi! Thank you for this great tutorial and I've tried it with my mini sewing machine already and it worked but I just wanna genuinely ask if you have other solutions because it is hard to always press the scissors with my other hand while sewing. Hoping for your reply. :)
This technique works! Thank you.... Out of interest, could you use this method to sew in a zip (where the total amount of material that the needle has to go through is thicker)? Thanks a lot 😊
Lah, I'm so glad this worked for you! I would say you should definitely not touch your needle to the metal teeth of the zip. I've not worked with zips yet, but I could make a video for you if it helps! x
@@OoniCrafts ha ha, that would be great, thank you! I really appreciate your videos.. They're some of the the best ones on TH-cam about using the mini sewing machine... Thanks for sharing them!
Love your tutorial. I have a machine like this but having a problem when trying to sew like the needle hitting on the throat plate I did get some1 to sort it but it started on the first sew after repair what could be done please help.
You don't need to oil this machine because it is made of metal parts rubbing on plastic parts and plastic parts rubbing on plastic parts. Only metal on metal mechanisms need oiled. If you oil plastic, it will disintegrate and crumble over time.

Hi, sorry I picked up your comment so late. No, this machine cannot stitch stretchy/knit fabrics and it does not have a reverse stitch. Hope this helps.
good morning i have a question for u what kind of thread are you using on your kpcb sewing machine i'm using gutermann cotton this is my second machine that i have the first machine did not work now i needed you're help please i love all your videos but i need help i already bout to many threads i don't now what to use on the kpcb mini sewing machine come to my rescue thank you
Hi Lucila, I too am using Gutermann. I also use Coats Moon. If you have checked everything and it still won't sew, it might be a faulty unit. These are mass manufactured low quality machines so there are no guarantees if it will work perfectly.
This could mean one of two things 1. your feed dogs are broken which means your machine is faulty and you should return it for a full refund 2. it could be that you are using an incompatible fabric such as a lightweight knit Jersey or other incompatible nonwoven fabric, for which you will have to switch to a woven cotton or cotton mix.
Aw don't feel bad Jade. Decluttering is a good thing, and if you weren't using the machine, it's better off helping someone else. In the next few days, if you really get the itch to sew, you can buy it cheap on Ebay and this time, you'll really know what you want!
Hello I just started using this machine (I’m a beginner), and at first it worked perfectly, but now it’s just making the noise and the needle doesn’t move when I press “on” nor when I step on the pedal. What should I do? Did I accidentally break it?😭
Hi Elena, I'm so sorry you are experiencing this with your mini sewing machine. I will try to figure out a solution to your problem asap. Please can you clarify: is the electricity coming through and you can hear the motor running but the needle is not moving up and down?
I love your videos. I have a problem with my machine. It jammes and loop's the tread and does not want to sew. It does that from the start, in the beginning when I want to start to sew. Its so frustrating coz in making face masks for the kids around the neighbourhood and they are waiting for me. Can you please help?
Hi Elmarie, thank you so much for your kinds words. It could be a number of reasons why your machine is playing up. Start with the easiest and work your way to more complicated stuff. I have made this very easy through the 8 point checklist. You can find the free PDF document here: th-cam.com/users/redirect?redir_token=b_ChCTrL_u9yytswUWyhyJCTL9t8MTU5MTM5NDQ3OEAxNTkxMzA4MDc4&v=CTDyLGTjDJQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmailchi.mp%2F4c24ab312dc9%2Fmini-sewing-machine-operation-checklist&event=video_description Just go down the points one by one on the checklist.

@@OoniCrafts Hi I watched the videos that you recommended. Its not the treads that causing the problem or the timing of the machine. I'm using the second machine that you bought. As I looked at the timing, when the needle is coming down to kiss the sharp point (bobbin housing) I saw the needle getting stuck on the let's call is the "wall"(that's now the gap in the bobbin housing). So that's my machines problem. Now if I pull the metal that holds the needle and the metal with the spring on, towards me and I turn the wheel to let the needle go up and down it's not getting stuck on the wall, the needle pass that wall and go's down in the bobbin housing and up where it's kissing that sharp point. Hope you understand what I'm saying and hope you can help me fix it. Thank you again.
Hi, I wouldn't spend too much on this. 15€ sounds about right. Jeans yes, satin no. I've got a full episode about sewing jeans on this machine. Just use the search function x
Skipped stitches on regular layers is usually user error like poor quality thread or a blunt needle. Change to a high quality branded thread like Gutermann.
Hi Hamri, I believe there is a timing issue with this machine and I will be opening up this machine to figure out the internal problems and posting a video about this soon x
Hi thank you for your comment I have referred to this question in detail in one of my videos. I will try and post a link to it here but the bottom line and my suggestion would be if you can afford to do so at all please try to invest in a bigger proper sewing machine. because these mini sewing machines are really poor quality. however if you really do not have the budget and you don't know how a sewing machine works at all only then would I recommend that you invest in this one. for all other intents and purposes I would always suggest that you try to buy a new or second-hand bigger proper sewing machine. do let me know what you decide to invest in take care bye!
Hi, thanks for your comment. This trick might not work on jersey at all! Knit fabrics are stretchy and require a zigzag stitch with some stretch . This sewing machine only does straight stitch so it will be difficult to sew jersey.
Hello. So...um...I am struggling to make my mini sewing machine sew through satin correctly (it always skips ALL THE STITCHES) I tried to switch to stiffer fabric such as linen and it worked. Do you have any tips on sewing with satin, I'm so frustrated :(((( IDK what is the problem, please help :((((
Hi Alyssa, thank you for your comment. I'm so sorry your mini sewing machine is not working properly. This problem with the bottom thread appears to be a common one and I will try to find a solution to it soon and make a video x
Hi, I haven't tried faux leather, but I don't see why not as long as it is thin pliable material. However two layers would be a challenge so there will be limited functionality. You are better off getting a specialist machine for sewing faux leather.
I tried that and it didn't work. What's more strange is, when I put a piece of paper through, it stitches perfectly. But when I put a single, fairly thin piece of felt through, it doesn't stitch at all. Not even one stitch.
Hello! is it possible that the shank of the needle size 90/14 is not comaptible dor my mini machine’s needle clamp? The needle clamp doesnt hold the needle? I just don’t know what happened.
Oh dear, Rizel you might have to open the machine up and see if any screws are loose. If it's a new machine, I would suggest returning ir exchanging it.
hi Shraddha, thank you for your comment. Yes of course I would love to share that with you! Please keep an eye out for upcoming tutorials. I will give you a shout-out. 😀 xx

Hi I am facing some other issue, I tried watching all the videos available and tried all the suggestions for making it stitch, however it always comes up with new problem, now when I thought I fixed everything, it's just not stitching, needle is going through the fabric but stitch is happening, it's just not making taking the lower thread while stitching but it took it out when I was threading my machine.only while stitching there seems to be a problem, I hope you are getting what I am trying to say here, please help if you can?

Hi Priya, Is the foot pedal working? If not, then the internal electric circuitry is broken. Can you try returning or replacing it? I will be opening up this machine to figure out the internal problems and posting a video about this soon x
Thank u...i really dont no how to xplain it..after where we control the stitch,there's a long stuff where we also insert d thread b4 taking it to d small hole b4 d needle....it hangs on that long stuff that moves up n down while sewing..it wil curl and then the thread will cut...i cant even sew 4 straight 1minute,it will cut.pls help
.same here. my thread keeps on cutting. its tiring and pissing me off. im sure you too got pissed off too. .what i did is i use paper tape at the line where i should be stiching and sew slowly. using you right middle finger to guide the cloth and your left hand to slowly pull the stitched cloth. try it. just sew slowly using the step pedals

I can still sew with it but this still happens and when i spin the wheel thing it is hard to turn unlike my niece’s machine which is very smooth

@@OoniCrafts thank you!
I just got my mini sewing machine and it refuse to sew a single stitch. Had checked all the steps in setting it up and they are right 😢
Ordered one sewing machine but now the problem is it makes noise when power given but there is no movement.
If it's new, please return or exchange it. Clearly it's faulty.
I tried that and it didn't work.
What's more strange is, when I put a piece of paper through, it stitches perfectly. But when I put a single, fairly thin piece of felt through, it doesn't stitch at all. Not even one stitch.
same, i dont know what to do anymore
How to fix loose stitch? Answer please. Thank you in advance!

Oh dear, Rizel you might have to open the machine up and see if any screws are loose. If it's a new machine, I would suggest returning ir exchanging it.
