| 1 | Hi, can anyone tell me if the handheld machines are any good? for a quick job, and what sort of thickness do they do. My machine is not out permanently and lately I have had lots of little jobs/ fix its to do. any other suggestions. TIA sat3 - 2021-01-30 21:33:00 |
| 2 | I had one years ago Sat3, we lived in a mobile home with limited space. That one had like a running stitch much like an over locker stitch. So if the right end was pulled it would simply undo. I would never have one again.. I don't know what the new ones are like. Id probably change furniture around so you have a space to have your machine out permanently I know I'm not of much help lol popeye333 - 2021-02-01 15:05:00 |

Your machine used a chain stitch, and yes, pulling the end would undo the seam and quickly, but threading the end of the thread through a loop would have worked to lock the seam. Overlocker stitches don't come undone that quickly, sadly! hazelnut2 - 2021-02-01 17:44:00 |

If you were in Timmers I could do them for you.. Is doing the repairs by hand out of the question? hazelnut2 - 2021-02-01 17:46:00 |
| 5 | My suggestion is line up all your repairs, get your sewing machine out and do the whole lot in one hit. My machine isn't out permanently either and this is what I do. To save changing the thread all the time I sew all the repairs that need the same colour together then change my thread and repeat. kiwimade64 - 2021-02-04 07:08:00 |
