Sewing with the Handheld Sewing Machine

6 Best Sewing Machines for Beginners

Now, all of these machines have a learning curve to them.

It may seem difficult to sew with it at first as the fabric keeps rolling over.

(Which is one of the compromises you will need to make with almost every handheld sewing machine.)

However, the obstacle can be tackled by a little technique.

So you must keep in mind that whenever you use this machine you should use your free hand to stretch the remaining cloth so that it is not an obstacle while it’s sewing operation.

Now there are two ways to use the handheld sewing machine and to sew.

The first one is that you start the handheld sewing machine when it starts to move up and down, place the fabric from one end in its tip and start pulling it from the other side.

This way you have to make sure that the material or the cloth you are sewing stays in a straight direction so you do not mix the direction of stitches up and down. This is for time-saving concerns.

The second way is also very easy.

For this, you turn the handwheel so that the needle goes to its highest point.

Next, you lift the fastening plate while being careful you do not press on the needle arm as it will de-nature the needle and will not provide expected results.

When you have lifted the needle arm, place the cloth in it from one side and then release the plate.

Use the handwheel to make the needle come to its position where you want and then start the machine.

Now you will only have to pull out the cloth from the other side because the straightness of stitches will be ensured by the fastening plate this time.

The last and the most important thing to keep in mind is that when you finish sewing, turn over to the back of the cloth and tie a knot to the thread so it does not leap out again, ripping the cloth again.

This is the final step.

Conclusion

So, now it’s time we give our verdict on these cute little handy gadgets.

Well, honestly we would suggest you buy them only for instant mending and repairing of fabrics around your house.

Even with that particular zone of work don’t expect high precision with stitch quality as it might be better than manual stitching but can definitely never beat your good old standard sewing machine.

For us, sewing is an art and like all other arts, it demands time, effort, and a good apparatus. So, saying that we admit that we are not huge fans of these handheld sewing machines.

but you may pursue with your purchase if you feel this gadget is worth buying for you.

Make your choice for the best as per your requirements and stitching jobs and you are good to go.
