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.
This is an initial list of all the available downloadable sewing machine manuals, service manuals, parts lists and instructions that could be located. It is not, nor ever will be, complete but we will endeavour to update it when new sources come to light.
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.
Tip
Adjust the tension wheel on the handheld sewing machine if the stitches are too loose or too tight.
Practice on a sample piece of fabric similar to your project to find the best tension.

Check and replace the batteries if the machine slows down during a project.
Warning
Do not pull or drag the fabric through the handheld sewing machine to avoid damage to the needle, machine and fabric.
Never try to move the needle up or down with your fingers; always use the rotary wheel.

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.

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. Attach the white spool cap to the top of the spool on the shaft and tighten. The bobbin or spool should always unwind facing the needle.
Thread the Handy Stitch by passing the thread from the bobbin or spool up through the two thread guides on the needle arm, through the tension control and down to the needle. Pass the thread from back to front through the needle, using the threader if necessary by inserting the threader through the needle, placing the end of the thread in the loop of the threader behind the needle and pulling through. Pull a couple of inches of thread out through the needle before beginning to sew.

Raise the needle by turning the hand wheel on the side until the needle lifts to its highest point.
Lift the presser foot gently by hand and place the fabric underneath. Don't push down on the needle arm. The presser foot has a spring tension to press the fabric down and hold it in place while sewing.
Hold the Handy Stitch with your right hand, placing your thumb over the power switch on the top to operate. Use your left hand to guide the fabric, and use the power button to activate the needle to begin sewing. To pivot the machine or turn a corner, be sure the needle is lowered down into the fabric, gently lift the foot and turn Handy Stitch to the new position.

Finish a seam by turning off the power, turning the hand wheel to lift the needle and pull the Handy Stitch away from the fabric slowly leaving about 3 inches of thread as a tail. Clip the thread to detach Handy Stitch. Turn the fabric over, and insert the threader into the last stitch. Place the end of the thread from that side of the seam through the threader loop, and pull the end through the last stitch closing off the loop. Snip and trim both tails of thread on either side of the seam.
