What is HandySew's story?
The idea for HandySew was born out of a simple frustration: the hassle of big, bulky sewing machines for small, everyday fixes. We realized there had to be a better way—a tool that was powerful yet portable, simple yet effective. The result is HandySew, a convenient, handheld machine designed to empower everyone to fix and create with confidence.
What makes HandySew different from a traditional sewing machine?
HandySew is built for simplicity and portability. Unlike a large, traditional machine that requires a dedicated space and complicated setup, HandySew is lightweight and battery-powered, allowing you to quickly mend items anywhere—from your living room to a friend's house or even on the go.
How long has HandySew been in business?
HandySew was founded to bring a modern solution to an age-old problem. We are a passionate team dedicated to redefining how people approach sewing with a focus on convenience, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
Where is HandySew made?
To ensure the highest quality and modern manufacturing standards, HandySew is produced by our trusted partners in Europe and Asia.
Do you offer returns or exchanges?
Yes, we stand behind the quality of our product. We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your HandySew, you may return it within 14 days of receipt for a full refund.
Does HandySew come with a warranty?
Yes, HandySew includes a one-year limited warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. For more details on what is covered, please refer to our warranty page or contact customer support.
What fabrics can HandySew be used on?
HandySew is designed to be versatile! It works on a wide variety of materials, including cotton, wool, silk, denim, and synthetics. It is ideal for quick, on-the-spot repairs and projects.
Is HandySew easy to use for beginners?
Absolutely. HandySew was specifically designed with beginners in mind. Its simple, user-friendly operation makes it the perfect tool for learning how to sew and tackle basic projects without any of the complexity of a full-sized machine.
How does HandySew work?
Simply insert a bobbin, thread your fabric under the presser foot, and press the power button. The lightweight, ergonomic design lets you guide the fabric with one hand while the built-in motor stitches effortlessly—perfect for quick repairs, hems, or creative projects on the go!
What types of fabric can I sew with HandySew?
HandySew handles most common fabrics—cotton, denim, linen, polyester blends, and more. For very heavy materials (like upholstery vinyl) or extremely delicate fabrics (silk charmeuse), we recommend testing a small scrap first to adjust tension and stitch length.
How do I change the stitch settings?
Twist the stitch-length dial on the side to choose between a short, tight stitch or a longer, basting-style stitch. The clearly marked settings make it easy to switch mid-project.
Can I use HandySew without plugging into the wall?
Yes! You can power HandySew via the included USB–C cable (to a power bank or laptop) or with four AA batteries (not included). Portable sewing has never been more convenient.
