Handy Stitch Handheld Sewing Machine Instruction Manual

Manufacturers advertise handheld sewing machines as a quick way to make a simple repair to a hem or stitch a small and easy project without getting out a bulky sewing machine. While a handheld sewing machine may not be the ideal choice for a large or intricate sewing project, you can use one to finish up a project or keep one on hand backstage for costume repairs. Stitch many all-purpose fabrics including cotton, polyester, silk and nylon with a portable battery-operated handheld sewer. Thread the handheld sewing machine and insert batteries according to manufacturer's instructions. Turn the machine off or make sure it is on 'lock' for safety. Turn the rotary wheel in either direction to lift the needle.

Place the fabric you want to stitch under the presser foot or bar. Pull the thread through the needle with your left hand until you have a 'tail' of thread a couple of inches long. Hold the fabric you are stitching in your left hand and the sewing machine in your right hand.

Turn the machine on and unlock it. Guide--don't pull--the fabric through the machine with your left hand to stitch. Stop the machine and lower the needle into the fabric using the rotary wheel to pivot around corners.

Stop the machine at the end of your stitching and raise the needle to its highest position using the rotary wheel. Lift up the presser foot or bar. Pull your fabric away from the machine to the left, taking care not to unravel the seam. Cut the thread about 3 inches from the fabric. Loop the 3-inch tail of thread into the last stitch using your fingers or a threader and tie a knot to prevent the seam from unraveling.

Handy Stitch by Singer is a small handheld portable sewing machine. Designed for quick repairs made right where the project is, the Handy Stitch can be carried right to the fabric needing work, like a set of curtains with a torn hem or pants in need of a fast hem while traveling. Battery powered and lightweight, the Handy Stitch is a simple design made for basic stitching and projects.

Open the battery holder compartment and install the batteries. Replace a needle on the Handy Stitch if necessary, always using a Singer 1111 needle or DHx1 size 14 needle.

Loosen the set screw with a small screwdriver and take out the old needle. The new needle must be installed with the flat side of the shank facing the front of the Handy Stitch. Insert the new needle and tighten the set screw. Loosen the bobbin nut, and place the bobbin on top. Retighten the nut. If you prefer to use a standard thread spool, loosen the bobbin nut and remove the bobbin. Attach the spool pin provided with Handy Stitch to the bobbin shaft and place the spool of thread on the shaft.
