my best friend gifted me one of these and I was so confused on how to operate it but thanks to you, I was able to work on it in just a day! thank you so much!
This is the video that made me subscribe to your channel. I am forever grateful! I keep returning to this video to make sure I'm doing everything right, so I hope you don't mind my mini-index below hehe 1A 02:55 - Rituals that sawing machine operators do: Turning the hand wheel, fiddling with thread and needle, etc. 1B 06:31 - Removing the project 2. 08:33 - Different ways to operate the sawing machine 3. 14:02 - Getting to the bottom of the other advertising videos
This is excellent. At age 68 I am a beginner sewer and I just want to be able to make small repairs and hem pants. I have a different model mini sewing machine so I am not sure how to loosen the thread on mine after finish a seam but I will try to figure it out. Thanks
Really good tutorial. I find hand sewing tedious but I could never justify buying and learning to use a machine for the small amount of sewing that I actually do. The only way I'll know if a mini machine can stitch two pieces of cloth together like put a new seam in my worn out trousers is to try it, but for the price who cares? Your vid has inspired me to to give it a go.
I have the older version of this. I think it is the ultimate mean machine and it hates me. It kicks and bites! Thanks a lot for your 'How to tame your sewing machine" videos! They are truly useful!!!
I realise this video is a few years old now, however a tip - leave the presser foot lowered whilst you raise the needle at the end of sewing a row. Once the needle is raised, lift the presser foot. It's better for the machine, especially the bobbin race.
Thank u...i'll try wheeling my needle into the fabric b4 sewing..i finally found my manual and saw the name of wt i was saying...the name is the thread collecter..u described it in this video as the fragile lever that pulls the thread up n down..mine keeps twisting the thread n cutting it...it pisses me off bt i'll try doing what you said.
I didnt...i give up on that machine..its a total waste of my mony..i cant even sew fr 1second..the thread collector will js curl.up the thread and cut it..i've abandoned the machine..i regret buying it.
Hi , I'm so sorry the machine was such poor quality. It's very frustrating, especially since you also said you cannot return it. I hope you will find a better replacement for it and that you will continue to try sewing. I would love to see which machine you decide to get, it will help lots of other people here who are struggling with their machines too. Good luck! x
Hi, I am French and a store (Gifi) sells this sewing machine for 15€. According to some people it is very good but for other it's a big crap. What are the + and the - ? What is the maximum fabric thickness? Can we use it on satin? Currently I don't have a sewing machine
thank you this video is very helpful, I still have a couple questions when you cut off your thread at the end of making like a line of sewing do you need to knot it so it doesn't come undone or is it fine to leave it and if you make a project how to end it like with a knot or something else?
How to adjust stitch length on mini sewing machine? At first I was facing the loop catching problem. I corrected it by watching your videos but now the stiching length become very short.
My sewing machine stopped stitching, Though The electricity is coming. I already opened the lower bobbin to see whats the problem . The thread goes into the hook everytime i turn the handwheel the timing is good but everytime i put on the fabric, the the thread does not meet the hook anymore so there is no stitches at all. Please help me i just bought it days ago.
Hello... I just bought this type of machine but my sewing machine just stitches with the top thread and not the bobbin thread. Whats going wrong?. please help me...
Hi, yes i used shirring thread in this video and it worked perfectly. ruclips.net/video/iz7X-rm9QmU/видео.html I have yet to do a proper shirring project with it though!
I just bought this type of machine but mine doesn’t have those three bottons at the side It’s been giving me serious problems I don’t even have an idea of what’s wrong, after every first sticth it just jams / hangs its soooo frustrating pls I need help
I bought a mini sewing machine two days ago. It hardly sews for two minutes, after that the handwheel does not rotate. If I press the foot pedal or use the on off button nothing happens. please help
Hi Areeba, if your mini sewing machine is so new, could you possible return or exchange it? The electricals sound faulty. On the other hand if you cannot return or exchange it, you could try opening it and check the wiring inside. You can take a look at the inner mechanisms here: ruclips.net/video/51n-LiC8zkI/видео.html Good luck.
Please someone help me i borrowed a mini sewing machine but it stopped working what shoud i do : when i use the hand wheel the needle moves up and down normally but when i use the pedal or the button it does not move what should i do help me please
Hi Ama, Is the electricity coming through? If yes and if the needle is moving, then it is most likely a timing issue. I have solved this problem in a video just yesterday. Check it out here ruclips.net/video/_N6F1ehfJKs/видео.html Hope this helps! x
Heyy .... I have problem with my mini sewing machine , can I know .... how can I slove the thread clusting problem , the outer bobbin thread is gets cluster when it goes down with the inner bobbin (inside the machine ) and the sewing so done is very messy and clustyy.... Can you please help me.... what should I do????
Does the needle only fall out or the whole tall shaft? If just the needle, the screw or needle is faulty. For the tall shaft, watch this 👇 ruclips.net/video/5VzrS36rUW0/видео.html
My mini sewing machine just stitches with the top thread and not the bobbin thread. Whats going wrong? I tried fixing the timing from your other video and then also did the nifty 9 and perfect p. But it still just stitches on the top
Hi Tae, I've been trying to figure this out too because so many users are facing this problem. The only thing I have experienced is when the thread pops out of the tension discs while sewing, this happens. But it's very fixable. I will keep trying to find a solution. If you figure it out, please post here! xx
Hi Lucy, thank you for your comment. I'm so sorry to hear that your machine is giving you trouble. I think it is is a timing issue. I will be opening up this machine in a future video to figure out what the problem is. Meanwhile, I would urge you to put this machine away for a few days and focus on a different hobby. x

This only does a straight stitch. Also puffers would be too thick for it.
