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 throw this thing at a wall... Thanks to you I can complete my project, thank you so much! Thumbs up
Fantastic news 🙌🏻
@@EasySewing4Beginners hi can you help me in my machine can you whatsapp me if you have time I dont know how to explain the problem of my machine thanks I hope you can help me
Kannada video please
@@EasySewing4BeginnersHi can you make video like this on the other mini sewing machine? I’m having a problem on it and I don’t know how to fix it or what could be the wrong on it. I’m about to give up. 🥺😭
I swear this comment made me laugh 😂
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!
Glad I could help with a fix! Good on you for being so persistent too 🙌🏻
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💞
What a fantastically clear and precise video. So well explained and videoed. Your close ups very clear and informative. Well done.
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! :)
Awasome , thanks alot , this video give me courage to unscrew my mini machine , which I got delivered a couple of days ago 👍 ❤️
I would be afraid to mess with my machine. Good for you that you can do this.
If you’re at the point of wanting to throw the machine out the window because it’s not stitching then you haven’t got much to lose 🤪
My stitches are not sticking at all
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 :)
I was about to cry... I'm so happy I found this video.. Saved me a lot of money... Thanks....
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!
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!
Very usefull to all people to know about this sewing repair
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!
I come back to this video yearly to fix my mini sewing machine and it always blows my mind at how the video looks so grey scale because of the decor colors.
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 🤣
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.
You’re welcome 😊
I followed your instructions and the results was amazing 😍. I just want to say thank you 🥰 because mine wasn't stitching but after following your instructions it's has started stitching 😍😍
I found many videos but no one like this one! Thank you so much :D
I got my daughter a craftbud sewing machine like this. After messing with it for one hour and many crocodile tears from my daughter cause she thought the machine was broken. Thank fis i timing was off by such a small amount. So I loosened the tension screw on the needle housing and I lowered my needle, and it fixed it perfectly. My daughter was so happy and I felt like the best dad ever 💓 😂
Thank you so much for this video. With your help I was able to fix my father in law's mini sewing machine. 😊
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
Literally the best help I got today by this video. Thank u so much
thanks so much, 🎉🎉 I followed you and succeeded ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i’m from Viet Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
Thank you very much for this detailed guidelines. I was able to fix mine and it works again. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! I was so frustrated because I have the Easy Home version from Aldi and their included manual was extremely lacking! You were so clear and easy to understand that I felt confident to fix the timing... and it worked! Many, many thanks 😊
Great to hear it worked 🙌🏻

Thank you. This thing was driving me nuts! Your video was informative and helpful.
thank you so much!! worked for a whole day on this while watching the video and it WORKED!!!
Your video is absolutely beneficial. 💯
Excellent narration. Thank you very much.
Great video!!! I was gonna smash this thing and call it a lost. Thank you. Super quick fix. If I knew this before I think I could of fixed a machine my mom just threw away. Good thing she has three more kinds...lol. I think one needs this fix. Thanks again with spreading that mighty wisdom with us.
This is great! Thank you!
From you, I have now learned that the hook takes the thread from the needle and then turns it all the way around the lower bobbin and that is how it picks up the thread from the lower bobbin. (This had always seemed like mysterious "magic" to me.)
It made me see that the timing seems to be right in my little machine, which I just bought and turns out to be a great little workhorse but it had suddenly stopped picking up the thread (after I stopped using it yesterday and wanted to continue), but the "bobbin basket" in the bobbin housing is no longer in the right position, for whatever reason. I think it's happened a few times before after I started using this little machine, except a little worse this time. (The needle even runs into it at times.)
This may be because I was running thick layers of fabric and I nodded while I typed this because now I may know what the high-pitched "screeching" sound was... that little basket getting moved along the bobbin housing. That happened when I had multiple layers of fabric in the machine that just fit. (That may sound horrible; I improvised a lined shopping bag out of a lot of curtain fabric and then I ran into the limitations of only being able to do one kind of stitch. I ended up with something cute and functional. :) I have now properly designed one that should require stitching through much less thick layers.)
Will now try to solve the problem - may need to start removing some screws, yes, and you've showed me how to do that - and add more comments later.
Maybe you talk about this too, later in the video, btw. I am still at the start of your video while I type this, but you showed enough for me to want to take a look at what was happening inside my machine without/before taking it apart.
Yeah, okay, I was able to move that basket back into its proper position; there is a little triangle sticking out and that needs to be caught against a little plastic bit coming from the left, from the machine.
The rest of the problem may be a tension issue and/or the result of using two different threads. (Ran out of the thread that the machine came with in the lower bobbin and then used a different thread for that.)
I used to sew with a regular machine decades ago and I remember similar issues from back then. You know, these nice little tangles, lol.
Fixed! Thanks so much for your inspiration!
Thank you so much I just fixed mine . The video was very informative so it made me more like a pro 😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Oh great to hear it helped 🙌🏻
This was exactly what i needed. I didn't have to throw it away, thanks!!!
Thank you for making and sharing this video. Helps tonnes as I was wondering why the bottom bobbin is not taking up.
Very excellent video. Simple solution to big problem.
Wow! Thank you, finally I got the solution to my machine, stitching well now
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have the lil sew and sew and used then info in this video to fix my machine. I was ready to ship it back but with this video I was able to fix it.
Super video, it helped and solved my out of synchronicity problem.
Yay its fixed thank you!! I watched a second video bc the bobbin was popping out after out it in and realized the L part on the bobbin wasnt lined up under the little white thing where it fits into the bobbin case... but thank you for getting me that far!! Horray!
Thank you so much for helping me to solve my problem. You're very informative and easy steps to follow.
Thank you so much for this video, I've been struggling with my daughter's machine for 6 months, mine is completely different, but the principal is the same.
Google was absolutely no help apart from telling me to get it serviced, but thanks to you, I've managed to fix it 😁
I followed step by step with your video it worked thank you so much
Thank you so much. This actually fixed the problem. My niece sends her thanks, too.
thanks so much, i was thinking of throwing it and now ...... thank you!
Where are u living??
Thanks so much for this video! I'm trying to make washable face masks for my family and this is my exact problem. I'll try repairing it tonight!
All the best! Let me know how it goes 😊
Wow, you're so brave! (and lucky: all the case screws were the same length, and nothing vital fell out when you opened it. ) Just seeing the top thread get carried around the bobbin well will help others get a feel for the mech.
this was so so useful... thank you so much
Thank you for sharing your knowledge regarding on this machine, I know this type of sewing can fixed.
Thx i become biger home hero for my daughter because of yours tutorial 👌😄
I had this exact problem. All fixed now. Thanks.
How huhuu mine is not fixed
When I’m testing it out it’s perfectly fine but when I try to actually sew like with fabric it goes back to not catching the bobbin. Also it lets go of the thread like halfway is that normal?
we are at the same situation.. i was very excited when it,s deliver i try it ed its fine but at second time its doesnt work
Helped.
You're amazing.
Thanks
All instructions soooo clear, thank you.
The sewing foot (not the foot pedal) is quite wobbly, is this normal.
The machine is very noisy, is this normal.
Does the machine need oiling.
I'm making a quilt when we go camping, it's a project that has taken 12 months so far. (Getting close to being completed)
Thanks again.
Thanks this was so super helpful and am glad I watched it just when I thought of getting a new one. ❤️
Thank you so much .....my machine is working very well as before...
Great to hear 🙌🏻
Genius 👍 watched at least 10 videos from other uploaders which proved out to be disgusting crap, especially videos from our region.TYSM for such an awesome tutorial
you are such a big help. thank you 🥺❤
Thank you very useful. I will try this in our home. But i have also other mini sewing machine that my problem does not life or does not work anymore.
Thank you very very much. I was able to fix this problem with your help. 🙏 Ah thank you🫶🏼
Thanks a lot .. this video really helped me out and made me solve the problem myself
Thanks for sharing this! Very good fix and explanation!
Fixed the timing, still not stitching... Retried 10 times then binned it. Ah happiness!
Thanks a lot for this video, you helped me to fix the problem I had
Thanks your información was good for me! I see your videos from México City
omg you save my machine 😁😁🤗 i was about to throw it. wow i am very happy😄😄 thank you
Very useful, thanks
Thank you for the detailed instructions. My KCPG was not stitching since day one but I did not notice that’s a malfunction until I watched this video. I’d tried to adjust the timing many times. The needle could pick up the thread from the hook but it’s still not stitching at all. 😢 obviously I missed the return window. I’m going to throw this plastic toy away.
Thank you so much for the instructions! Its really helpful ♥️
You saved my life from my lil sister thank you🥺
I did everything you showed in the video (took machine apart). Machine worked perfectly when operated manually but when I plugged into electrical outlet, the machine jammed. The thread jammed in the bobbin casing, creating a messy nest. What went wrong?
Fabulous tutorial 👍🏻
Thank you so much .. the video was so useful 👌🏼🙏🏼
This was so helpful - I kept wondering why my top thread was showing up but the bottom thread did absolutely nothing.
