As Seen On Tv Handy Stitch Handheld Sewing Machine

The cordless sewing machine. Handy Stitch is the portable hand-held sewing machine that packs the power of larger, more expensive machines. It’s great for quick repairs or jobs that conventional desktop machines can’t handle, like sewing curtains while on the rod, or mending a torn pocket without having to remove your pants.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Do not waste your money
I bought this because I just needed to hem several pairs of pants for my daughter who has short legs. It is horrible! Its impossible to get the material set, you can’t use pins to hold what you want to sew, it will only sew extremely thin material which it then tends to bunch up, impossible to keep a straight line…I could go on and on. I wish I had read these reviews first before I bought it in a store.

1 Star Handy Stitch
This item is real easy to use but I wouldn’t use it for anything that can be seen or looked at closely. It misses most of the stiches and breaks off the thread so it has to be rethreaded repeatedly. Better off putting out the extra money and getting something that really works.

2 Stars ASKED FOR HANDY STITCH RECIEVED SMART STICH
I am unsure if their is even a difference in the two products;

Smart stitch (what i received) & Handy stitch (what I ordered) but, I will tell you that the Smart Stitch does not stitch very well at all. There is not enough room between the needle & the “bottom” of the smart stitch to fit an article of clothing in to stitch. Once you find something to fit in between the needle, it will begin to sew (very loudly, as opposed to the Handy stitch that seemed very quiet on TV) & create a preferated line in the article of clothing. All in all, you get what you pay for, well actually not, you get the generic. Welcome to online shopping & Amazon.

My needle broke the first and only time I tried to use the Perfect Stich Pro. Which I just realilized is not the same name as the picture or what Amazon is sealing. The directions do not show how to catch the sew under the bottom fastening plate. I’m not exactly happy but I will give it an other try.

2 Stars More Trouble then its Worth
More trouble then its worth!

When I was finally able to get it to work for me(I was making a halloween costume), it looked like it did a great job, until the entire length that was sewn fell apart immediately! You have to Hand sew it to get it to stay in place.. It saved some time, but I was so fearful of the stitches falling out that I pinned the costume anyway! Dont waste your money. Although more pricey, Im spending my money on a REAL machine!
