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.
Yayyy, I’m so glad!
@linda Larsen, que bueno que pudo intentarlo!!! Siempre debe darse la oportunidad. La felicito. No se nada de costura pero si puedo usarla y funciona para unir piezas y hacer líneas rectas definitivamente lo pienso intentar.mucha salud y bendiciones.
I bought a smaller version on twmu for $12.00 works great. I raised the hem for several pants of my dads.
If something like this had been my first sewing experience, I'd never sew again.🤣🤣🤣
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! 😊
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.
P.s. I will not be getting this machine! 😂
Looks like a great add for the RV.
I’m a trucker and been looking all morning for one of these or a handheld one with a PROPER review like this! Thank you!!!!! Hand patching jeans myself gets me a lot of pokes and doesn’t look uniform or too good.
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!
Yayyy, I’m so glad you found a budget friendly solution! 🙌🏾
I found a regular size sewing machine for $10 at a thrift store.
@@tonyak2446 What???? I never even thought that was possible. I may start looking bc you would not believe! I need to sew a zigzag stitch. The one thing my $23 machine can’t do!🙄
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.
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 🧵
Good tip! 👌🏾
Great job on the weight loss! Congrats 👍
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 😍
That’s a good use for it. 👍🏾
That singer is a great machine. We use it all the time
I've opened this device...let me tell you as an industrial electronics engineer... it's quite an adventure...
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.
Thanks! Best of luck on your sewing journey.
Thank You Angelina !!! Have a wonderful night
So glad I found this! Thank you Angelina!
Ok I can use it for lining handbags and like you said heming or small repairs on the go but very nice
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.
Thank you for sharing your review.
Maybe it would be good for my little niece to use for, making her dolls clothing on? 🤔🤔🤷🏾♀️
I love this video. Thank you so much
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
True
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. 😆
Thank you so much for the review. 😊
Thank you for being the first to comment! 🎊🥰
That is so cool!
I suppose I might try to sew with it if I was traveling and I knew I had to fix things while on the road. It would be very difficult to learn to sew using this machine. It looked to me like it would be quite challenging to sew a straight line.
I wouldn’t recommend learning to sew on it either, but I’ve seen determined people learn with less.
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.
The bobin belongs on the sid
I love this 😂looks like y was having a tough time with that bobbing
I love it I'll take it with me everywhere
I wonder how it would do on paper. I’m a junk journaler and sew on paper quite often. 🤔
I’m sorry, I forgot to sew on paper.
I would also love to see this on paper!
They work ok for paper
@@billwatson1448 nice!! Thank you! 💕🥰
❤ Thank you!!! God bless!!!
Thanks for sharing. Have you ever tried using the nylon invisible threat using this machine?
Thanks💜
I love it,
Thanks for the review! I want a little machine to do simple hems. These all look hard to use though (for someone unskilled like me). I just can't tell if I would be able to do it.
LOL! I wouldn’t stick my finger under there either.
NICE.
You horror movie scared me when your machine almost caught your finger!😂
I know right!
@@BlueprintDIY 😅
I had my for 13 years until one day it die on me. So I had to go find me another one I for my at Walmart also. So I had for 8 years now. I made my curtains with it I made Halloween costumes with it practically I sew everything with I love it alot. Especially when I had my little boys with me now they're men.
Thanks for showing us this,it looks a little bulky for my liking.
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.
Yes, this is the best handheld so far. I saw that Singer has a version like this one and I’m curious how it sews.
@@BlueprintDIY Maybe I will hold off on purchasing this one until I can find a video on the singer version. Thanks for the FYI
I just got it, I like it. I only use it to make capes for action figures lol
Nice!
Bout to cop one for college been spending too much time on sports and working out need a new skill
Hi,
Would you be able to embroider on this machine? Or is it only good for simple forward and back stitching?
Would like to see how to hem pants because it seems you have to keep one hand on the machine, but pants need to be rotated, which I think would be hard to do with one hand.
This would be nice for accident prone people like me or people with kids to keep in the car trunk for those times that something rips before a work meeting or some other inopportune time, but I can't get home right away to do a proper job on a real machine.
I saw this at Walmart, and I was curious...now, thanks to you, I'm not curious anymore...it sounds like a full sized machine to me, it's a NO for me...thank your for your detailed review, new subbie here!!💕
Welcome to the BlueprintDIY family! 🤗 I’m so glad it was helpful.
Van life tent and tarp and other small repairs.
What do I do with the thread from the bobbin? Does it tie directly to the thread from the needle? Or should both just hang loose off to the left?
what one would you suggest to put in a quick basting stitch when making a mockup so i dont have to get the whole sewing machine out and then have to but it away while i either adjust the mockup or while i cut my fabric and then have to get it out again.
i dont really have the hand coordination to hand stitch too much, and when i do its super slow and wonky.
and have limited space so i have to move my machine to cut, or g
This would be good for that. The regular handhelds do chain stitches which are easy to remove if that’s what you need to do.
could this work on thinnish leathers?
Mom can we have the aperture science handheld portal device?
Mom: We already have the aperture science handheld portal device at home
The aperture science handheld portal device at home:
I had this thing for one day and it worked perfectly! The next day I changed the thread and bobbin and the motor quit working. All I got was a humming sound when I turned it on to stich. The motor burned out after one project. Don't buy this!!!
That’s a capacitor issue, motor needs an initial kick up to speed before running off the main. Cheap components!
Can it hande backpack straps?
Thank you for your videos ….
Is it suitable for travel accross airports ?
Yes
I got this and want more bobbins. Which bobbins are these? Ugh, I’ve measured them and done searches but cannot find. PLEASE HELP. Thx
BTW, I got this due to your review. I can’t find my regular Brother machine so I thought I’d try this. I have several pants I need to hem and really don’t want to continually rewind bobbins. Please, lmk if you know the bobbin size for this handheld. 🙏
Is it zigzag friendly?
When you get that Jo-Ann's, Michaels, coupon 40% off and don't know what to buy, batteries. Batteries are high there but not with the coupon. 😉
I have a couple of questions, first, that maroon sweater when you picked it back up AFTER testing the denim, it looked like the threads were already coming loose. So my next question is, do the threads actually stay? I can see there is a bottom thread system but I never get to see the machine closely enough to see if it actually intertwines with the top stitch for it to make a tight knit stitch that a full size sewing machine makes. I'm watching this video because I ordered the square rectangular handheld sewing machine on amazon and that did not work because It was only one stitch that would come right off when you pull on it because it's not attaching to a bottom thread which is what makes a stitch stay. This right here has a bottom thread but it still needs to interact properly with the top thread to make a good long lasting stitch. I did not see in the video of you testing the stitch by pulling apart the materials you tested and you did not test the stitch by pulling on it directly to show if the stitch is actually secure. if this is shown in a different video please direct me.
For the machine you do have, you probably just need to tie a knot in the thread at the beginning and end of your seam so it doesn't come unraveled when you pull on it. The super cheap machines require you to hand tie the knots like that.
The machine she's reviewing has a "reverse" function, which she's using to secure her stitches, by backing up over the stitches she's already done, like with a full sized sewing machine.
🤗🤗🤗
I just want to make pillows, placemats is this good for that?
Yes, it should work for that as long as the fabric isn’t too thick.
This machine can’t sew properly. Please send me another demonstration how to make the bobbin and the needle work together.. I’m unable to sew.Thanks.What am I doing wrong
Cut machine. Great for grandkids wanting to learn to sew
It's kinda cool but not really. Probably really hard to use on bigger material that you need both hands for and that you need to turn it off with the other hand or won't stop .
How much
I bought one it was the singer I believe. It has a bobbin and the rest like yours. I liked it but when I use it then stitches unraveled completely so I never used it again
Oh no!
Will it work on vinyl ?
I don’t think it’s strong enough for vinyl.
@@BlueprintDIY ok thank you is their one you recommend that is??
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 ❤️
Thank you so much!!
How much rupees?
How much is it
Do you need to back stitch or anything with this machine?
Cum se cgeama.masina si de unde cumperi?Multumesc.
I got in from Walmart.
The singer machine like this from hobby lobby is much better.
طريقة تشغيلها بالعربى
It's a handheld mylady...not a Singer 4432.
Can you do a lettuce hem stitch with this
No, because it doesn’t do a zigzag stitch.
Good for military or oil field workers when you cannot get uniforms quickly
Buenas noches que preciosa esa maquinita cuanto cuesta
Quiero saber cuánto vuesta
$25
"But, there's no tying off."
There's also no reverse, so no lock-stitch ability...
You cannot fold only strait line.
You are so cute ......I think we could be friends....Love to you and yours
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
You get what you pay for. That should tell you where the thing is going for $25.00. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
No intrest. Too noisy and don't like how thread stays next to
machine to thread bobbin. Thanks for demonstration
Angelina,te rog raspunde-mi.
Do you ever read the instructions first? I don't even have this machine and even I know where the tension control is. You're killing me smalls. Please at least look at the diagram and learn the real names of what your working with. Furthermore, no matter what machine you're using you must adjust the tension every time you feed a machine a new challenge. Every time. Even on industrial machines you have to adjust when you go from thin to thick. This hurts me. I love you for ever but you need to improve because you are educating people who don't know better.
That looks too complicated for my brain damaged mind. I better stick with the other types of handheld machines. Thank you!
Thanks soooo much for sharing 😭🫶🏾….the struggling design students appreciate you
